Photo #496 GHI/Fire/Lesser with some more assorted odds and ends. I did a quick count and can spot over 30 types of stones in the photo above. ...

Yeah that’s def occurred to me! I’m a bit reluctant to put holes in the tat though. When I had hermit crabs I made a fairly elaborate structure out...

PVC can be easily drilled to put any sort of mount that you want up. A plant can be attached to the wall using a zip tie placed around the plant and...

Lots of good explanations; here's my take: always feed in the enclosure unless (a) there is an actually existing and important reason not to, and (b)...

I think so. Use the ones labeled for use in the bathroom. They'll hold up better to the humidity in your enclosure.

Do you guys have any tips about attaching fake plants to PVC? Suction cups never held for long when I had my crabitat. Would I have better luck with...

Bake them at 250F for an hour to sanitize them.

Probably better safe than sorry! What do you think about branches from outside? I feel like I don’t need to be toooooo concerned in the northeast. I...

Depends on what the fabric is -- that's a strong disinfecting solution that will likely seriously damage natural fibers. Another disinfecting option...

Do you think I can do this with the fabric decorations as well?

People whose opinion I respect have recommended this hand held hygrometer (I have not used it). I use Accurites myself, but only as a backup for my...

Long time snake keeper here- I always feed them where they live. Very simple to read their body language to avoid bites-& if you're not sure, they...

Beautiful indeed! I think we all want you to have a pleasant experience and not deal with some of our mistakes (or just mines). Naturally, the...

Honestly I’m a bit surprised that there would be so much consensus around feeding in the enclosure. I was planning to feed him in a tub but I think...

So about my old crabitat accessories, I’d like to reuse most of it. I let it soak in a bucket with soapy water for about 30 minutes and washed it...

Might you have opposite sex bps near? I know the frustration, currently dealing with this problem. Currently learning patience as well. Kinova on...

To start he’s a pretty awesome looking pied! Members have laid out two good points and a fair time to offer food. I would always feed in the...

Give him a week to settle in before feeding him. Don't move to feed. You risk a regurgitation when returning him to his enclosure. Let him eat...

I'm sure someone with more credentials will give you a more comprehensive answer, but the consensus seems to be feed in the enclosure. Handling the...

Enclosure set up aside, how's it feel to finally have your ball python? This has been a long time coming for you.

You don't need two. For a long time, I only had one that I would move from side to side periodically. I, now, have two because they're cheap. So,...

Yeah that’s def my focus for sure. Re: the heat lamp safety, I have been periodically touching the screen under the heaters and they are not...

1. I use an Accurite. I don't know anyone that uses a gun style hydrometer. I don't know that they make them. 2. You should point it wherever you...

Another pic

Well she’s looking pretty rough and she still needs a lot of work but I think it’ll serve for the moment! I have a bunch of fake plants and sticks...

In theory, possibly. Adequate enclosure design could help mitigate the risk (don't put hardscape very near the CHE). Give some thought to how the...

Ok I got a CHE just to be safe although I’m worried about it heating up the screen that it’s sitting on and being a safety hazard to snek. Do you...

Oddly enough most off my Snakes lay their eggs between 2AM and 6AM. I go to bed late and check all my expecting breeder moms before I rest my neck...
