    Silly Ball Pythons

    Just wondering how many people catch (and get pics) of their Ball pythons, or other snakes, doing silly things. I hope to see some good pictures! (BTW, I will be getting a larger hide for Zeus. Just shed and now needs a bigger hide)

    Re: Silly Ball Pythons

    If you can get one look for something low ( so it touches their back), wide ( so they fit in a coil ) and with an opening slightly larger than twice the thickness of their body.

    As long as it is also opaque and can be lifted straight off them that gives them the maximum feeling of security as it touches them on all sides.

    It also stops them doing silly things like getting stuck in the hole.

    He has a wider hide in the middle of the tank. He does like the flowerpot and will squeeze into it until the pot is so small, he lifts it up altogether (and we get him a slightly larger one) his head wasn't stuck, he just tried to get through the hole.
