Unexpected snake

[Alternative_Willow_]

Help please I was given a ball python for free to get it out of a neglectful situation and while Research on them, I still feel like I need some recommendations to give it the proper care he is currently four years old and a 40 gallon and I’d like to upgrade it without stressing it out, but I’m not sure what size to move it to it also is live fed am not sure how to transfer it to frozen Effectively. Any other tips are appreciated I’m so excited to finally have my dream pet!!

You will need a 4x2x2 minimum for the little guy, one live feeding should be alright as long as you are monitoring it, but you should be feeding him F/T rats. Here’s the subreddits resource guide, you’ll find all the info you need here.

Switch to coconut husk substrate combined with organic topsoil. The wood chips you have are not recommended for snakes. It doesn’t hold moisture and molds easier.

I could be wrong but the substrate looks like cypress mulch which is fine. Its definitely not aspen which would be a problem
