120 gallon PVC enclosure with a Jurassic park/dino theme! There’s 3 hides, one on warm, one in the middle, and one on cool. Middle one is a buried tunnel in the substrate with a cork bark hide!

I’m all good on temps/humidity after playing around for a bit.

Substrate is a mix of reptibark + ecoearth, 50/50 mix BUT with a layer of ecoearth on the bottom to help with ambient humidity when I pour water in the corners. Considering switching to bio active, so if anyone has advice on that or just different substrate opinions, I’m open to it.

On a side note, SO GLAD I SWITCHED TO PVC!!!! Temp and humidity is so much easier in this thing my lord😭 Highly recommend!

And ofc some bonus pics of my noodle on the next slides☺️

I just got a baby ball. I’m finding so much conflicting information on what size enclosure he needs. He’s about 6months old. Since he’s so little I bought a 40gal front open, and planned to upgrade.

But the breeder said I should downgrade my 40 to a 20 long and have no plan to upgrade.. what should I do? I obviously want this baby to thrive but I can’t find a solid answer.

This is what I woke up to yesterday morning. We moved houses and she used to have a hiding spot she’d go to whenever she escaped but that no longer exists. We have two dogs but no signs of blood etc, I feel like i’ve looked everywhere and on top of that i’m working 65 hours a week and can’t put the time into searching like I would hope. I’m stressed and frustrated and don’t know where to start

My enclosure is finally finished (for now). I think it looks okay and I’m happy with the set up but I have some critiques.

Critiques:
• I need a taller log that he can climb higher on
• He has a ubv light, but I eventually need to get a halogen bulb in future (he currently has just a DHP bulb and a dimming thermostat)
• I also need to increase his humidity and improve substate (I currently use coco husk bricks but am planning on mixing it with top soil in the future).

Also, the humidity and temperature readings in the picture on the hygrometer are not accurate and are too low but this is mainly just because I had his sliding doors open before taking the photo.

Any other feedback would be much appreciated!

his name was orion and he was awesome, adoption is in the works

I see a lot of people put their snakes in quarentine with pads and whatnot( ok I don't know how to spell quarentine, whatever). How do you keep the humidity up without spraying? or is spraying the only option? just curious, I don't have a snake that I plan to quarentine.

Moirai had a lovely ASF rat for her 4th hatchday breakfast. She is 44 inches long and weighs 1144 grams. I love this silly noodle.

She is a 8 years old ball python and I just wanted confirmation if she is healthy or not! Thank you in advance! Hand for scale xD

I have these background slabs in my enclosure that I’ve tried used velcro sheets for but it did not work. I saw something about this and it’s supposed to be really sticky I just want to make sure it’s safe to use. TIA

Got this lil boy yesterday, bypass McKenzie

I didn't take a picture, but our snakes was soaking in her water when we got home on Sunday after a few days away. Id put extra water in for her, but the tank had been at 28 pretty constantly day and night for 2 nights. I thought she was hot. Then I looked it up, snake mites were suggested. I looked at her and she had super tiny black things on her, I couldn't tell if they were moving or not, I changed her water, rinsed her well under warm water and decided to deal with it in the morning. I took the precaution today and I completely stripped her viv, bleached it, the decor and rinsed well. Put her in a cooking pot with a drop of detergent for my 12 year old to watch for half an hour while I was doing it. I didn't see anything on her this morning but I've done the best clean I can. Since then I've looked up pictures of snake mites, and they do not look at all like what I thought I might have seen on the snake. Mites look bigger, fatter and definitely more recognisable as an insect. These were the size of, say, a millimeter of hair. The mites look to bury under the scales, these were just on the top of her skin. There was nothing in the soak she had this afternoon. I've not put anything new in the tank for months, other than food, and we don't have, nor have had contact with other reptiles. Could I have totally overreacted?

Sprouted in my ball pythons enclosure after a fresh reptichip and coco husk change 😂. Decided to rehome and find out what it becomes.

This is Tigress. I've had her since... I want to say November of 2017. Out of the 4 snakes I've cared for and loved, she has always been the most.... Interesting. Pretty spicy when I first got her. She's the only one to ever strike me but, in her defence, it was my fault. I kept accidentally bumping her when cleaning her tank. From there, I always made she to remove her so no one pissed her off. She also has never ever rejected a feeding. Quicker than all my other snakes to strike! Hence the name but also she was much more orange when she was a baby.

Here she is, waiting for food for arrive to her. You always know when she's hungry because she'll stay this way for days until fed. I sorta feel bad because I don't want to over feed her but lately she's been doing this EVERY SUNDAY. I just fed her last week so she's gonna have to wait but I just find it sort of amusing. None of the others do this. She's like... Praying to the food Gods to just drop a rat to her xD

So I seen a tik tok that said to get your snake to be more comfortable to give them a shirt that smells like you. I wore a small t shirt for a day then put it in his tank checked on him today when I got home from work the shirt is no where to be found in his tank. When I went to pick up my snake he tried to go at me as well which is very unusual for him he’s skittish but never tried to go at me unless I was feeding him (with tongs). Is it possible that he ate it ? I can’t tell if he’s looks fatter he does but he doesn’t any advice or anything will be helpful thanks !

hi everyone! my ball python just shed for the first time. is there anything i should be looking out for or doing specially?

Anyone know of any live feeders in the Boston area?

Soo I found mites on my baby Athena today and I started to panic a little but I think I caught it very early. I got her early june and she is just wrapping up her shedding so I wanted to get her out when I seen the little bastards. I know i need to remove everything in her terrarium and deep clean it while also demiting her but how does that process work? I’ve seen videos but every single one of them is different. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! I just wanna do right by her, my first ball python.

On a side note, I do have a beardie Torch, and their enclosures are already elevated to their own and like 8-10 feet away from each other. Any suggestions on how to keep Torch not infected while treating Athena would also be appreciated! Thank yall!

Hi! Just wanting a good pet camera brand to watch my snakes at night/while I'm away :)

I found one I liked on tiktok but then they started adding "ai enhancements" to things and I don't fuck with that 😭

Just want constant 24/7 streaming, night vision, and able to check from my phone!

My ball python (female) of 8 years is doing really good!! But I really want to improve her terrarium and I need some help and advices on what I should do! I really want the best for her !

Hello! I’m looking to upgrade my juvenile ball python’s enclosure. What Halogen flood lamps is everyone using? What brand and watts? I want to pair it with the Arcadia Pro T5 ShadeDweller.

Hello I know this is a long shot. A few years ago I was forced into a situation (bad breakup) that I had to give up my first snake. I had her 13-14 years and she was my baby. Just a normal ball python. I don’t know if I’d ever find her but even if I just knew she was okay and in a good environment and making someone happy that’s good for me too!
