... and this. :D

Well for the whole humidity thing I bought a fogger and a humidity/temperature controller so when it gets too hot or too humid it turns the humidifier or heat mat depending and vise versa. I also have three hides a piece of drift wood for climbing and I'm getting a pretty good sized water dish so I think as far as making the tank feel snug I should be ok.

I also have a tortious in a 30 gallon tank that as too big for it now so maybe I can move him into the 60 gallon or outside when it gets warmer and I can put my python in the 30 gallon until he is bigger.

I have a ball python in a 55 gallon, she is an adult though. She has plenty of hides and where there isn't hides, we have fake plants for cover. Every night without fail she is out and active and utilizes every inch of her space! Of course, we believe she might have been wild caught, so that may have something to do with it.

But with some adjustments we have been able to keep her heat and humidity at perfect levels! ;)

My problem with 10 gallon tanks is it is very difficult to get a proper heat gradient! It's either all hotspot or all cool.. Very difficult to get the right variation

I know the felling my 20 long is not big enought my snake has one hide and his water bowl I want to get 40 gallon breeder. my bp is about 3 1/2 feet long.
