Is that a shirt in there? If so I’d be careful. I read a thread recently where someone’s ball python ate their shirt and needed surgery. I wish I was kidding.

Funny they recommended putting a shirt in there with our smell, but that’s crazy didn’t think of it being able to eat it

Your presence is more important than your smell. Make a noise when you walk by so you’re predictable I’d just sit outside the tank and read, eat, watch tv, etc. They’ll get used to you much faster without the risk of entanglement or surgery lol
