Please don't take this the wrong way, but what are the basics that you already know? I only ask because, while we both want you to be knowledgeable about your snake before you get it home, I don't want to waste a bunch of time telling you things you already know. Have you searched online for information, including this forum (you might also want to check the arboreal python forum)? How big is the snake? and what will you be housing it in?

here are a couple of threads that have some information which may be useful to you (I'll be honest, I didn't search...just looked up threads I recalled posting on)
