Beautiful setup!! Beautiful snake!! Congrats and welcome to the obssesion!! Hey if you have any trouble with humidity...try putting some foil over the mesh side.....it worked great for me!!

Humidity is ok for now, but I imagine through winter the heater might affect it. Sounds like a good plan, Thanks!

During the winter, I cover my tank with foam board to lock in heat and humidity! It works well for me! Thats a happy snake if he ate already! Good job!

Nice to know that the snakes are coming from breeders to your store.

We do our best :)

Sorry to double post again, but I've got a few questions.

BTW It's name is Ringo Star. Hahaha
I remembered about my scale and decided to weigh him. He's at 99 grams. Is this too small to probe for sex? It will be my first time, and I'm really scared to try haha. I could just take it to the vet to find out...

Also.. up at work I hardly ever have just 1 snake in a tank so it's hard to take record of this, but how long do they usually take to digest food at this size? I usually see some within 3 days at work (most of our snakes are babies, very few get close to adult size before being sold. Unless of course people dump there animals on us, but adults usually sell within a week) Can anyone tell me what is normal?

Not sure about probing...I prefer popping myself. Food will generally digest in 48 hours or so but you may or may not see any poop for awhile.

Thanks, but I'm just a nervous to try that :( It doesn't matter to me right now, maybe I'll just take it to the vet soon.

I'd be more nervous to probe...just something about a thin metal stick near the genitals that makes me say meep. A good vet would be best.

Well thanks for the advice, I decided to try popping and it was pretty easy. I feel dumb. lol. Anyhoo... Ringo is a female :)
