Okay, you can't go wrong with a monotub then. Most commercial growers I know use them because they're fairly bullet proof (this is an extremely relative term for mushies) and are low cost. To get going you'll need the following, please be aware that there are no real shortcuts and cutting costs initially will ultimately cost you time and money. Rather get the correct kit second hand, than substitute with an inferior product.

  • 10 x pre-poured petri dishes - this isn't essential for the beginner, but I would recommend it. That said, they're $30 on amazon, so they might break our budget

  • Cheap Chinese Pressure Cooker $34 you absolutely need a pressure cooker. If this is a little pricey, check out craig's list, FB market place, or Gumtree depending on where you are. They're big pots and people get sick of them, so they're easy to pick up generally. If you're buying second hand, get them to bring it to pressure before buying. You wanna make sure the seals are good. Charity shops are another good place to look.

  • You want a plastic tub to build your monotub with. Get 2, because you'll also want a still airbox - these are 15 bucks, but you may be able to find them cheaper locally.

  • Nitrile Gloves 6 bucks

  • Canning Jars, You need 4, I'd go with 6 in case of contams

  • Coco Coir - get this at a local nursery or hydro shop, it's overpriced online
  • Grain, some people have a preference, but IME Barley, wheat, rye and sorghum (milo) are all great. Stay away from WBS - it colonises slowly. great for master jars, but not my favourite for growing. Source locally. Avoid health shops, look for animal feed stores

    Check Out Roger Rabbit's How to Grow Mushrooms Videos They're old and cheesy, but the advice is rock solid. You may have to torrent full copies, I'll leave that in your hands.

    Personally, I found growing mushrooms to be a challenge. It's not difficult, once you know how to do it, but it fucking is when you don't. For me, forums were a total cluster fuck. Shroomery was the worst. There's tons of incredible growers there, but also a lot of dickheads who post teks for the sake of posting teks. Not knowing the difference between a dickhead tek and a pro tek was my downfall. Then one day, a buddy showed me where I was going wrong, and it all clicked into place very quickly. I strongly recommend RRs Vids for the first timer. They'll give you a good understanding of the basics and get you to a crop. Feel free to PM me for additional help, especially when you get to prepping grain.

    Stay away from the exotic strains for now. Get cubensis. Get Amazons (They're my favourite, and the mycelium is aggressive which makes it a little more forgiving to the beginner). Galandoi ALT7 (truffles) are super easy too, because you don't fruit them. They just take a lot longer.

    Using the kit I've outlined you should be able to produce 100 - 200g of dry shrooms within six weeks. I'm sure I've forgotten a couple of things, please watch the videos. When you get the inevitable trichoderma, don't give up. I really sucked at growing shrooms when i started. Keep logs, understand sterile technique, and keep pushing. It'll come. Ultimately, I ended up doing 40 tubs at a time with loads of strains running at a time. I do not recommend this, but I was able to pay for my wedding and an epic honeymoon over 16 weeks of growing hard

This tank is referenced a lot. I'll give you the bullet points on why it might not be ideal:

  • It is glass, which is difficult to keep appropriately hot and humid for your ball python. Ball pythons need a temperature of 85-95 degrees F and a humidity of around 60%-70%. A plastic container like this with holes poked in it will hold temperature better and only costs $20 on Amazon. You might even be able to get one for free on craigslist. And if you DID want a glass tank, people sell them on craigslist all the time for super cheap.

  • The heat lamp will provide light, which is fine during the day but your snake will want dark at night. A ceramic heat emitter, rather than a heat bulb, is preferred. However, if you get a plastic container for your snake, your house is warm enough, and you have a good UTH, you may not even need ANY heat bulb, which saves you money.

  • You can get better information on reptile care online than in the care booklet. Especially since the booklet looks generic and not specifically for ball pythons!

  • It looks like there is only one hiding spot included. It looks like it's a half log hide, which isn't enclosed enough. You also need 2 hiding spots for your snake - 1 for the warm side and 1 for the cool side.

  • ReptiTherm under-tank heaters, which will come in the tank, are not good heaters.

  • Analog thermometers, which this comes with, are not accurate. You'll need to replace it with a digital one. They will also come with a sticky tape which sticks it to the side, and your snake can get stuck to this. Not good!

  • No thermostat. Especially for the UTH, this is vital or your snake could burrow under it's bedding and burn itself. A thermostat will keep the heat mat at the right temperature. Not too hot, not to cold.

    So, just as a quick reference, here's what you might spend on a basic ball python set up:

    Plastic enclosure, or a glass one bought on craigslist if you insist on glass: $0-$20.

    2 hiding spots: $0-$20. You can make them for FREE by finding some cardboard boxes and cutting some holes in them.

    A good UTH for a small tank: $25-$30 including shipping.

    Shredded Aspen: $10

    Water bowl: $0-$5. You probably have something in your house that will do.

    A thermostat: $30 JumpStart Thermostat on Amazon.

    Filtered Spring Water: $1 at the grocery store for a gallon.

    Total: $71-$106, for a better setup than you would get in this kit, and then you have $68 with which to get a snake. Now, if you do end up needing another heat source to keep the tank warm enough, then it will be a bit more expensive. Maybe another $50, for a ceramic heat emitter, lamp, and another thermostat.

    So, could a ball python live in the terrarium with the kit set up? I guess, but it's not the best thing for a ball python, and you could do it cheaper, snake included. Heck, on craigslist in my area someone is selling a ball python in a 50 gallon tank with some of the better items I mentioned for $75. If I were in the market for a ball python I would buy it in a heartbeat.

    Since you said you don't know much about ball pythons specifically, I would once again, read the care sheets in the side bar. I would compare them to corn snakes, which also get pretty big, have lower heat and humidity requirements, and are less picky eaters.

I think I should of clarified more. But I meant putting a glass carboy in a tote that would block out the light. But now that I'm thinking about it I could get an airtight tote that could block out the light.

Sorry for being vague
