![]() He may have to part with his branch, which was mainly for show / cover but I have seen him use it on several occasions. I definitely want to keep the water dish in the front for easy access as I change it regularly. I've attached a few pictures below and I'd like to hear your opinions. I was midway through cleaning his enclosure last weekend and snapped a few shots of different ideas. ![]() I have a large reptile basics hide box on his hot side (LEFT) which is where he spends most of his time, but I'm unsure as to what would be the ideal way to configure two large hide boxes in his enclosure. Moving on to the question I have, Winston currently weights about 915 grams (empty) and has outgrown the medium sized reptile basics hide boxes. Curious and Brave would be the two words I use to describe her and she never says no to a meal - even if she is blue. She has a completely different personality than a Ball Python. I started to research caring for boa's shortly after getting Winston, and in June of 2015 I took the plunge and got a female Lipstick Sunglow, Elsa who is absolutely amazing and shares the other half of the T8 with Winston, for now at least. I've found caring for him very rewarding while at the same time not being too demanding and I have a list of the next few Ball Pythons I would like to get. A few months later he moved into his new enclosure which is 1/2 of a T8 that has heat tape for belly heat, and RHP to maintain the ambient temp all while keeping the humidity in - and it's awesome. Ball python habitats should be kept relatively barren. Larger environments tend to make these snakes feel stressed and uneasy. You don’t want to get an enclosure that’s too big. This was short lived as Michigan winters made it too hard to properly maintain the necessary humidity and ambient/basking temperatures. Adult ball pythons do well in enclosures that measure 36 inches long, 18 inches deep, and 12 inches tall. His first enclosure was a glass 20 long w/sliding front doors and a screen top. ![]() I got him from a local monthly recurring reptile expo in Taylor, MI in December of 2014 when he was only about 6 or 7 weeks old. On the brighter note I have had great success in caring for my first Ball Python, Winston, a male lesser pastel. I had iguanas as a young child, but unfortunately knowing what I know now, the pet store did not offer me very good advice in caring for them so they did not last too long. If hadn't taken the time to read as many threads as I did before getting my first Ball Python, I'm not sure where I would be so thank you very much! I've always liked all species of reptiles, and I have a Red Eared Slider turtle, Moe that I got as a hatchling who is now ~23 - 24 years old. I've been coming to this site for well over a year now, and with the wealth of knowledge combined with the search bar, I've never had an issue finding the answers to my questions. You need 7 items to create a ball python vivarium: A glass or plastic terrarium, the proper flooring, a lighting / heat source, a thermostat & humidity gauge, a hide box, a water bowl and (of course) a live ball python. I'd like to take a moment to say hello to everyone as this is actually my first post.
