Hello everybody! I'm fairly new to the board, but I had some questions.
I just wanted to see what you guys thought of this. I've been enamored with Subocs since I first saw them on a website a few months ago. I've never owned a snake, but i've been researching (mostly rats/corns and ball pythons) for over a year. I feel confident that i'd be able to sufficently care for a snake. I just wondered if everyone thinks that maybe I should wait to get a suboc until i've got experience with other rats, or would it be okay to get one as a first snake? (I plan on getting a CBB since I don't have any nearby supply of what they're used to getting in the wild - I want to say Kangaroo rats, but i'm not 100% sure.)
I know that the temps should be low to mid 70s on the cool side, and low to mid 80s on the warm side - correct? Also, I know that they need lots of ventilation, and that shouldn't be a problem for me. I've got a 10 gallon aquarium with a screen lid on it. I think that would work ok for a juvenile/yearling.
If you guys have any tips or hints for me, please don't hesitate to let me know. I've been to suboc.com and read up on the care for Subocs, but if you guys have any more detailed care sheets, i'd appreciate that as well.
Thank you very much!
