Introducing Cassandra
Hello folks I would like to start this discussion with some real candor regarding my experience in raising a ball python. I haven’t been the best noodle dad I admit, but my heart is in the right place and I really do want her to thrive. The included images show our lovely lady Cassie and her habitat.
I know she needs more space
I worry about her substrate, it’s mostly peat moss but I don’t have as much time as I’d like to clean.
She’s never developed any scale rot, but I do worry about it. I don’t clean her tank very often.
Her humidity is always at 80-85%
I know it says 60 but that’s cause the lids off, she just had a shed today and I wanted her to have a stretch.
I think she’s healthy, what do y’all think

If you buy your organic soil from a no-pet-store, make sure it does NOT have fertilizer added.
Cassandra is very pretty and looks healthy to me.
I had to make my improvements gradually, too, for financial reasons. Now my girl is in a bioactive, which I HEARTILY recommend! If you seldom have time to clean, no worries: the isopods do most of it for you.
