WOW, he/she is gorgeous. The color and the pattern really work well together. That is a very impressive specimen you have there. You should submit that for snake of the month. It will win for sure.

I think the setup you have will work fine. I mean...i think the setup you have is perfect.

As long as you are maintaining proper husbandry otherwise. I dont see the snake having trouble navigating his way from hide to hide.

cool man

Is that water dish large enough for the BP to soak in? It looks a bit small to me.

Just curious, why do you recommend it's large enough to soak in? None of mine are offered bowls large enough to soak in. Enclosures treated with PAM before introduction of new snakes - so no mites to cause them to soak. Humidity is perfect, so no need to soak for shedding. Temps are spot on, so no need to soak to cool off. I can't think of a reason that they'd need to soak?

All of my Ball Pythons soak from time to time. They soak just before shedding even though the humidity is adequate. In addition, my Ball Pythons soak before they defecate in the water and the same goes for my Boas. Mites and ticks are certainly a reason why snakes soak, but if snakes lack them then there must be other reasons why they do so.

my BP never soaks

I don't have a single ball python that soaks.

None of mine soak either and all have perfect, unassisted sheds every time.
