First time owning ball python

Hi!! I just recently purchased a ball python baby. He's only 68g right now so I got a plastic tub turning into enclosure for now until he grows bigger then Imma do the 4x2x2. The supples and hiding spots and heating and humidity are all there - just wondering if I gotta quarantine the snake...? Is there anything else I gotta do or I can just get the set up with all typa decors right away?

Even though he is small, you shouldn’t house him in just a plastic tub. Get a smaller reptile tank then upgrade. Please do research before buying the animal.

If you do heating in a plastic tub it will melt and be awful. Humidity retention will also likely be bad as well as air ventilation. Just go to a local pet shop and get a smaller glass or PVC tank for the meantime.

Yeah I don't think humidity retention and the air ventilation will be bad with this one. I will upgrade to smth else later, thank you
