Meet Jaxx! (progression thread)

Hey guys I am a new member to the site but have been using it to get my little guy all set up. I am a proud owner of a male lesser ball python!:D I decided to name him Jackson but Jaxx for short. I really enjoy this new hobby and can tell Im already addicted..:P:bow:. So far Jaxx has been a very curious and shy guy but I know we will get along great. I have finally got him eating and all set up husbandry wise. I've had him for about a month and he has grown from 85g(when I first received him) to 107g when he last ate! He remains to be kind of a problem feeder.

Here is his bachelor pad I have set up for him!



Its a 20 gallon long set up with a UTH and a Herpstat 1 Basic. My temps are measured with an analog thermometer and a temp gun.

Here are some pictures of Jackson:

If you have any comments about my setup or anything, please let me know! I am always looking to learn new things and whatnot.

p.s. Progression threads are dope.. everyone should have one of their favorites :cool::rolleyes:

Doesn't look like the tank pictures made it so nothing to critique or help with but I can say he looks great!
Congrats and welcome and BTW I went from one to a dozen in less than 6 months so yes these little guys are addicting. :gj:

Crap! here is the tank!

Very nice snake and set up!

He is very handsome and so little!!!! :)

Screen top? 2 hides? UTH? I assume all 3?

yes I have all three. My temps on the warm side stay ohh 88-90 degrees. 80 on the cool.

If you run into humidity issues you may try covering 90% of the screen top with foil. Just saying. It can/probably will be hard.

I'm.on the fence on wherter I like this morph or not, depends on the individual, but this little guy looks fantastic.

I love the picture with his little face peeking out. Great job.
