Cute cute cute! Snow corn in a soap dish!

I only have one juvenile ball python so I have him in a 20 gallon long display tank.

Cool. If I might suggest, tho: get two all-enclosing hides, cover the back and both sides of the tank, and treat the screen top with foil. Otherwise looks really nice!

Sorry, I'm a tank helper and I can't resist giving assistance.

Thanks for the tips. I do cover the top with a layer of foil. I just removed it because I rearranged the tank today while he was eating his mice. And it looked more photogenic without it. Though I would like to do know how you went about covering yours so that it's permanent without encumbering opening/closing of the lid because I definitely have to mist daily to keep the humidity up! And I haven't found a background that I like yet but I'm not overly concerned considering Freddie seems 100% comfortable as is -- he eats like a champ and generally seems like a pretty content snake. And those are the only decorative hides I can find that he fits under, lol. They're fairly snug so I'm pretty sure he likes 'em.

No problem. I live to help others.

Screen treating with foil is easy: 3 layers of aluminum foil, shiny side down, topped/held on with duct tape. A hole is then cut on one side for ventilation/heat lamps. I add a vinyl 'window' in the center for light to get in as well. You can see it on the pix of the tanks above.

I made a photo step-by-step of the process when I did the screen to my ExoTerra. I can PM it to you if you'd like.

The photo of the corn snake in the soap dish makes it look mystical and holy. Like the angels came down singing when the photo was taken.

That would be awesome because I am a visual learner. Thanks!
