Baby Ball Python Setup

thats a great setup

Sweet setup! And you posted it just as I am going about creating one of my own. What timing! Thanks so much. And it you provided a couple tips I had not even thought of. Thanks to you, my snake (when I get one) will be very cozy indeed. Woo! :snake:

Awesome thread Chris, and even better snake.

Thanks! Having two hides is certainly a secure way for a ball python to thermoregulate. I have decided to go with just one hide because I feel this snake is not shy and have seen it comfortably using both sides of the enclosure.

This brings up a good point! I used the rubber feet supplied with the heat pad to elevate the aquarium and did not attach the heat pad to the bottom of the aqaurium. The heat rises and creates a warm spot without creating a concentrated "hot" spot on the glass.

DISCLAIMER:

You will notice many things about this setup that vary from other advice out there. This is not to mean that I think that other ways are wrong. This is only intended to be helpful advice for setting up a baby ball python for display. I have kept ball pythons for 20 years now in just about every type of scenario and have found that if you have a healthy ball python they will thrive in just about any conditions.
