Advice on ball pythons(I have a lot of ques.)?

bp should able stretch whole body across tank.
best substrate use newspaper, easy clean , germs don't stuck in it, remember disinfect tank , every 2 weeks or so.
tank should kept @ 27 degrees celcius, 30 hot , humidity should round 60-80%.
mist tank , snake every once in while, if cannot keep humidity should mist hotter luke warm water.
regards feeding, rather stick rats , rat fuzzies- have lot more vitimans boa need.
1 uv red light good, doesn't hurt boa's eyes.
should have heating pad half lenght of tank, should not turned off if temps low.
regards handling- don't handle them in beginning, give boa 2 weeks settle in , thereafter not more 3 times week.
after feeding, not disturb @ least 5 days after feed!
luck bp :)
