New Bp
Hello everyone, I would show you my first ball python and asking you if my set up is ok. She's only 2 month old. Actually I have put she in a small box that I will change tomorrow with a big one. This is a photo

No the setup is not ok! the heat pad should be under no more than 25% of her enclosure, and she needs a hide on the warm side! That plastic deli cup will flip in no time when he/she tries to drink. and the enclosure itself is way too small for that size bp. UPGRADE IMMEDIATLY!

Agreed, the heat needs to be only under 1/3 of her tub. I don't see that tub size as being too small for a hatchling...if you upgrade don't go much bigger.

Once you put a hide in there which is needed there will be zero room, also that snake seems to not be a hatchling, seems like it has some decent size to it.
Not saying to get a huge enclosure, but based on the size of the snake in that tub id go a bit bigger.

Large enough for the animal to fit snugly. Upgrade to at least a 32qt tub.

maybe im missing something....
but i cannot figure out how the temperature is controlled. heaters (unless they are extremely low output, like 5 watt or 8 watt) need to be controlled by a thermostat. how is it done here?
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

An uncontrolled heat source on a plastic tub is asking for a fire. Please get a thermoSTAT asap. That is the MOST important thing before upgrading size of tub or anything else for that matter.
And welcome!!

Does anyone have a link to a very detailed set of instructions for setting up a brand new vive for balls? This would be helpful to the OP I think
