Ok I just got my 1st Ball Python this past Thurs and I want to make sure his encloser is ok. I made it out of a 30" wide x 12" tall x 12" deep wall cabinet. I replaced the panels in the door with plexi-glass and sealed the doors with weather stripping. I put vents at the top of each side, nylon indoor outdoor carpet on the bottom and up about 3" on the back. I then used coconut fiber type substrate to cover the bottom about 1" think. I have a heat pad located under the carpet on the left side with the temp probe on top of the carpet and under the substrate. The temp reading there is 90 degrees which is under the clay pot hide. On the right side I have a cork log hide, a 75 watt black light directly above the log but outside the encloser shining thru a metel screen so he cant touch it. The temps on this side at the back are around 80 degrees. Humidity on that side is staying between 50% and 55%. This is all read using a digital temp/humidity gauge. The water dish is located in the center of the tank. Since I placed "Petey" in the encloser he explored for a short time and has now stayed in the log hide for 2 days. just peaking out every now and then. He did come out for a minute or two to explore the new wood climbing sticks I put in there. Do I have it set up correctly and should I be concerned about him staying in the log? Here are a few pics of the encloser.
