Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

New to forum and Ball Pythons
Hi everyone,
My name is Nima, I'm a new guy on this forum hoping to learn from all the experienced keepers here. I have a large collection of GTPs and finally decided to get a few BPs. I always liked Bumblebees and Super Black Pastels, which influenced my picks. I purchased a male Silver Streak, a female Black Pewter, and a female Bumblebee, all '12 unrelated. I will post some pics when they arrive. I would like to hear from you guys if I made a good choice, specially if you have experience breeding these morphs. Also would like to hear advice on setup such as tub size, substrate, temps and humidity. I'm sure I will be on here with a lot more questions to come so thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.

first off, welcome. As for your choices, they are good but it is more of a what you like thing. If they are hatchlings you will start them in smaller (18 quart) tubs. If they have a couple hundred grams on them you can put them in 35 quart tubs with a hide. Some snakes do better in smaller tubs where I have found some that are not good eaters thrive when in a larger tub with hide. Substrate is your choice again. Sanichips, aspen, cocobark, news paper, papertowels......find what works for you. I keep my hot spot between 88-90 but depending on your ambient, you may adjust a degree or two. A good size water bowl may provide enough humidity, when needed (or in shed) I mist.

Yeah, I really like these morphs and the possibility of what they can produce. Theya are all around 100-200 grams. So in the smaller tubs I am going to use flexwatt on the heated side. Should I put the hide over the heated side and the water bowl on the cool side? I have both Aspen and soft coco husk, which I used for high humidity GTPs as the humidity levels in my area are very low, which do you think I should try first? Thanks!

the aspen you will probably have to mist to keep it up. Try both and see what you like.
on a side note......sorry that out of 68 views only two people have welcomed you. There are only about 40-50 people on here that are actually educated enough to use a keyboard! Most feel they can read and not contribute.
