you have to watch out for black lights too the uv can mess with their eyes

well poop!ok,first thing you should do is cover all sides of the tank but the front.i use cork bord,its easy to use and cheap at walmart.or you can get a background from a pet store but a lil more expensive.you should also invest in tighter more cosey hides.if you want a idea of a tank i can show you one

i have a tighter 1, i just have to add it in thats all. after i clean it.

Ditto.

My bedroom in my old place was decked with black lights. I had one 24" light on every wall plus a couple along my bed and ceiling. My dad always told me that I'd go blind because of the UV emissions. I used to have all of the blacklights on for hours and write all over my walls or hang out with friends and I always noticed that after going so long with them on, my eyes would be all funky for a little while.

Infrared heat lamps are perfectly fine. Just make sure you're able to maintain your humidity. These are good for peeping in on your snake too :D

First off I simply think your animal is being normal. I hardly see my ball out and about unless I go to bed late.

That being said I think there are a few things you can do to perhaps increase his activity level. If I were you I would purchase/make additional hides. As someone mentioned earlier cover up the sides of the cage. Also clutter the cage up. Go to the dollar store or walmart and buy a bunch of fake plants just to fill stuff up. All this should add to the snake's feeling of security.

In the end though, as long as your snake is eating and shedding well, you're in good shape.

Im going to get another picture of wat i added today. And post and yall let me know if i got a better set up then the last time.
