    New Ball Python setup!
    Hi,
    My Ball Python Eddy will move to his new cage now. I just wanted to share with you my new cage and Setup. What do you think?

    Your setup looks really nice! I think that Eddy will like it. I have two concerns. First, I know that Ball Pythons really like belly heat and it appears that you have overhead heat. The second concern is cleaning it could take a while and may be difficult to clean thoroughly. But your setup is extremely nice looking.

    Is that a PVC cage? If it is would you recommend it over tub cages? Cage looks great!

    Thanks! Yeah cleaning will be a little bit tricky probably, but I always want a show terrarium like the zoos![emoji16]

    Thanks! It's a glas tank with front slide doors. I always prefer glas, because it doesn't scratch like pvc. But for glass, it needs a good isolation to keep the temperature.

    Hi, thanks!
    Yes the plants are fake unfortunately. I have ordered them from: http://www.mcpalms.de/. The cave is from www.m&s-reptilien.de.
    There are also some Exoterra Plants in the cage. And the Background and the sides of the glass is covered by cork 20 mm.
    Where are you from?

    While the OP's setup looks awesome, if you don't have the time or desire to go that extreme, you can create a "proper" setup for a ball python with a storage tub, some old plastic butter bowls or flower pot saucers, a water bowl, a heat source, and most importantly, a Thermostat.
