Beautiful girl! Congrats!

If you're wanting a male my advice is to wait until the afternoon of the last day of the show and offer about 75% of the stated price. The decent females tend to go quick, but there are usually still plenty of nice males left by then and a lot of breeders would rather take less $$$ for them than...

Here's some resources that'll help you pick a morph: Morph List - World of Ball Pythons That'll give you pictures of most of the major morphs. Ball Pythons - FaunaClassifieds FaunaClassifieds is a great place to look and see what a morph is selling for. That'll help you get a good deal.

She missed, hit me, and immediately...

Gotcha. Thanks!

I did check out the links, but I'm really interested in how you do the heat tape. I remember looking at these a while ago and the ones that I saw didn't have any solid base in between drawers. Is the heat tape in yours just stretched across open air?

I'd love to see some pictures of this setup. I've been trying to figure out how to deal with a bunch of hatchlings next season and this looks like a great, low cost, and space saving option.
