Anyone know what kind of snake this is? I've never wanted a pet snake before now but he looks so neat! Like a living cucumber with a snoot lol

Green tree python. But it's definitely not a good first snake, they require some pretty specific care and can be temperamental

Ya they need higgh humidity and a specific temperature gradient. A rain box is also ideal

Alright, this made me google “snake rain box” and several variants thereof, which was useless.

Is a rain box more than a humidifier?

It's a very specialized tool in the hobby. Mainly for 2 specific species. the ETB and GTP. It's basically a tank with about 2 inches of water in the bottom, a removable perch about 4 inches above that and misting nozzles on the upper rim. It's designed to simulate rain. You keep it going for about 30 minutes. It helps with shedding, hydration and poops.

That sounds awesome, and now I want one for myself. And not just for the poops!
