    Ball python setups
    For those of you who like to go all out for their bp enclosures, let's see pictures. I need some ideas for my future enclosure.

    This is my girls tank but to be honest I do not recommend the glass tank. I struggle horribly with the humidity levels, bought a monsoon to try and help with that ( you can see it on the left ) and have tinfoil across the top of the tank now and I still have to watch it closely. My husband is going to build me better enclosures for both my babies this spring.

    Thanks for sharing. You can try a coconut based substrate or cypress mulch, it helps tremendously with humidity.

    One time when taking Mr Burrows out he seemed really curious about the top so I turned off the lamps and let him hang out up there for a few minutes.

    Kata - note the foil on top of Golem's enclosure *****

    This makes all the difference in the world in keeping the humidity in check.



    I wrapped cardboard in foil with mine so it would have a tight seal, except near the lamps; I left a 1/2 inch gap to prevent a fire in case the foil got too hot.

    Thanks everyone, i am going to look into the coconut based subtrate and maybe give the cardboard with my tinfoil a try.
