Housing ball pythons with underbed drawers..

I house my ball pythons with under bed drawers. They seem to be doing great. Who else use these for their ball python’s enclosure? Show pictures of your setup!

What are you using as a hot spot? Heat running down the back of the shelves?
Are they individual units stacked, or is the entire stack one unit?

I've seen many try and fail at using these because of the many cons that outweigh the pros, but you say it's working for you so I am quite curious.

They are individually unit stacked. If you look at the last picture, each unit has it's own sliding drawer. I use heat mats on the bottom of each drawer. There are spaces between so it won't burn the snakes from the top or bottom.

The hot spots are around 93 degrees, humidity around 70%.

At first, it wasn't working well due to high humidity, but then I made more holes and it's around 70% now. I have been using these for 3 months. No respiratory infections, and my snakes are eating like champs.

Do you have any problems with cheeky pythons slipping out? I was thinking of doing this myself however I decided against it for the reason that it seems like an easy task for them to nudge the tub open and slither off!

Not at all. These tubs are steady and tight enough to stay put. The biggest one I have right now is a 700gram Mojave male. He's still there! They tried to escape but failed. But I'm not sure when they get bigger. If anything, I can put a tape straight down the whole set up.

One of my herp friends decided to try some drawers similar to these one time and one of his adults slipped out. These look different than the ones he tried so maybe they are OK?
