Waterfall in tank?

After a few weeks of using it, it seems that my ball is enjoying it because he lays right on top of it! It doesn't vibrate! I put it on my washer and it didn't make any noises! It was designed for use by reptiles. I took the towel of the screen top and the humidity is a constant 58%. He does have a large water bowl as well. It looks cool! He spends most of the time in his hide. He eats great too! I like my tank looking nice but my priority is his happiness! If he looked stressed or did not eat then I would take it out! He is my only baby so I spend alot of money and time on him!

Also, if you are trying to make it a display cage, I recommend using a different species. This is because balls *should* be in their hides 90 percent of the time. GTPs and ETBs are much better because they do not hide. Make sure you are properly skilled before trying such a hard species though.

This is not my first reptile and I have done alot of research as well. My friend is also a breeder and I have helped him with his snakes for a few years. I am much older than alot of people on this site and have the money and knowledge to take very good care of him. He does have a large water bowl too! He does spend most of his time in his hide and I have had him for a couple of months and he feeds great! Moving water has less bacteria in it than sitting water! It is very easy to clean as well!

I hope you cemented it down in some way, again balls like to get behind things and manage to find a way to knock most anything over, so be cautious if you are using a glass tank. Other than that I have no arguments if your humidity is fine and the snake likes it, just be safe with the whole snake busting out all jailbreak style on you.
