2 what are the necessary stuff i have to put in the terrarium? Especially the lighting and stuff, because i have no idea about the heat and temp, keep in mind that i am living in the miiddle east,UAE to be specific.
3 do i have to buy an incubator for eggs?
4 i know this question doesnot belong here , but i hope someone can help
I was planning to buy my couple from BHB located in the US, so i just wanted to ask, if i sent the snakes to my friend's house, and he send them back to me here, will the snakes stay alive this whole time ?

1. Highly don't recommend. 1 snake per enclosure.
2. You're going to have a difficult time with this based on where you are. You need a 90F hot spot, 80F cool side. 60 - 70% humidity. I know where you live but I don't know your exact home/situation so you'll have to figure out how to achieve this.
Also, substrate, coco husk is a good choice used by many. Water dish big enough to soak in for the snake and two hides. 1 on the cool side and 1 on the hot side. Make sure they are snug to the size of the ball python. Everything else is decoration.
3. No. You can build one if you plan to breed them. If you don't plan to breed them then no.
4. Where does your friend live? Yes snakes can live for a couple days in travel accomodations but they need to be packed for the weather.
Side bar: Corey Woods has fantastic animals here in Canada and is familiar shipping around the world. (Not sure about UAE) Very easy to deal with and talk to. You can try him too.
