The redness is mild for sure. I think id describe the scales as bent/abraded? I circled them in this picture. I’m really relieved that this seems...

Lot's of snake look pinkish on ventral side (where it shows, as on your white or pied snake) before going into shed. I'm not seeing anything that...

Haha you don’t happen to be located near Albany NY by any chance?? UVB is such a complex issue. I think the vet will be very helpful on this issue...

Wowza you weren’t kidding lol. I wonder if I can find someone nearby who has one that I can borrow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's great advice (I have a Solarmeter, purchased after a fatal and very dumb user error incident). For complicated reasons relating to the...

Glad to hear it. Of your proposed modifications, I would prioritize the humid hide. I like them because they allow your BP to regulate their own...

Personally, I wouldn't consider putting a UVb light in my enclosure unless I could measure how much UVb my snake was getting. For that, you'll need...

Sounds reasonable.

My hygrometer has been located in the middle of the tat, I just moved it to the cool side that’s wrapped and it’s reading 77. Maybe I’m actually not...

Also I added a uvb led light, it’s really nice, it has several different Ferguson zone modes preprogrammed in. I’m not sure how much UVB he’s...

It’s hard to see cause it’s clear but the taped area is the cellophane and there’s an acrylic topper over it. The humidity was actually better than I...

Children's pythons are nocturnal, so he can see a lot better than you are I could. Also, as you can see from the last pic (without the flash), a...

Please post a pic of the top of your enclosure as it's currently configured. Thanks.

I wonder what he can see with the cover in place. Are children’s pythons crepuscular? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok guys so unsurprisingly I’m struggling with my humidity. Typically my humidity is around 40 and I have to spray to get it up but it rapidly drops...

I’m currently using the VE CB70 rack, which requires 4” heat tape. So, I’ll monitor the temperature of the tub instead of the substrate. I initially...

That's how many snakes get "burned"- they dig under or accidentally push the substrate away. Also, for UTH to work best, it shouldn't be too deep...

That’s good input. I have to say I didn’t hit the tub itself with the temp gun. I just assume top substrate temp was the goal. Sent from my...

Make sure you read temp on the tub at the bottom of the substrate, not just on top of the substrate. The snake will displace the chips under its hide...

Nice. He looks great. I would keep humidity up a little and let him shed. Then offer food after. Also, how often are you handling him? I...

So glad it’s starting to warm up! I think he might be starting to go blue. Here comes the first shed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree, rats would be a better choice. Eventually you’ll find your self feeding 3 mice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got him on the 18th so brand new. Feeding FT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The shipment arrived early. Cover turned out as well as I hoped. Go figure. From Wiggles's perspective with the flash: With the...

Thanks!! I am so excited! I just got notification that my AP T-10 has been shipped & should arrive Saturday. The fun begins.

^^What he said.

Idk, it sounds like your setup is fine. It never hurts to recheck those temps though. I've had BPs stop eating for 8 and 12 months before and they...
