Make sure you have a 77-80F cool side and 88-90 warm side.

Ooh, man. :( I'm actually pretty proud of my setup, even though it isn't done yet...Don't have a card for my camera at the mo, though. I'll post here when I can finally get some pix. :)

Re: Show us your set-ups
I made my own (holds 10 32 qt tubs and 8 are now full) and also have two Animal Plastics racks (on the right of the pic). I don't have a current pic of our one 20L tank though.

Why no hide or heat source? Is there a reason you choose not to use such things? They are usually considered as requirements for a healthy ball python.

yup,she dont want to use hide,she like to stay at the back left corner behind the water bowl.she never use hide since she was born until now n she dont like it.i live in a hot country.the temp is already good enough for bp,so i dont have to put another heat source or i will end up cook my bp.lolz!here,we dont have 4 seasons.what can i say,the temp n humidity is already perfect.

I kind of hate the tank without the tree. It is a hand me down tank, and it is really cruddy (other than size). I'm planning on replacing that one and adding some climbing stuff, even though I don't think she will ever use it. One of our snakes is a climber and the other one doesn't seem interested.

Re: Show us your set-ups
That is a pretty awesome tank set up you have there. I have been using tubs for years i have a stack of tanks that sit empty in the garage. Makes me want to go set up a tank or two..
-
Re: Show us your set-ups
this is my 1 set up.
only difference is the new hide boxes i have in there now but everything is exactly the same otherwise...

Its a work in progress. I've been experimenting with it lately and have given it the tinfoil treatment over the screen top and have started using the tropicaire humidifier [the plastic jar to the left of the tank]. Basically its a big water tank with a long vertical sponge running down the center. A fishtank air pump pressurizes the jar while moving the water around. An outlet tube runs the spill over pressure into the vivi which is supposed to be nearly sealed up. With a big enough air pump it has been keeping things between 45-85% humidity [most of the time 50-60%]. Until the tank is opened at which point the tank immediately adjusts to room conditions and it can take hours for the tank to reset itself once closed. But, it works [so far]. No more dented eye caps or misting by hand [except during sheds] :gj:
My next task is going to be lining the two sides and rear glass with either those cork bark tiles or the rock-looking foam backgrounds or a combination of the two. I'd probably attach some fake vines to them first.

Re: Show us your set-ups
here, i just finished it today. it has 4 different holes for 4 snakes. i am using the bottom for their stuff so if i ever add another snake i will have a space for it.

psychophobia i hope you put your bp in something with a decent temperature gradient and with hides by now. whats that substrate printer paper? snakies going to get a paper cut. that really should be considered animal abuse. please before you get any more animals make sure you have everything it needs set up before you bring it home. im disgusted.

I do believe that paper is just fine as a substrate. Snakes that are in tubs do not always need hides. The OP lives in a country where it gets very hot. As long as the OP's snake is eating and going to the bathroom regularly, I really don't see a problem here. To say that this is abuse is just a little bit ignorant.
-
yup.thank ballpythonluvr.i just want to show some simple setup.just to remind that if u have great n awesome setup but ur bp not happy,can i call that an abuse to animal?my bp eat well,2 medium mice every week,very tame.that is enough for me as long she happy in there.

Thank you.
The waterfall is just a plastic type build (bought it at the "As Seen On TV"store, with LED lights in the pools, a small water pump in the back closed off so the snake can't get behind it and the water flows from the reservoir in the back up into the top pool, then down into the bottom one and back into the reservoir. She loves it and spends a lot of time getting a shower or climbing all over it.

Is that a DIY build? I like the granite top. Does the cat stress out your BP?

Newspaper (printed and unprinted) has been used by many keepers on this site and is perfectly acceptable. psychophobia's BP will not get a papercut from it and will be fine. psychophobia has also already let you know that he is in a climate where the temp gradient does not change and stays quite warm all year round. As far as hides go, I too have a BP that is in a rack system and does not like or have a hide. The rack system itself provides ample security for her on three sides. Not having a hide does not mean that he does not provide his BP a secure enclosure (such as a rack). As was stated, if psychophobia snake is eating, cared for and healthy, why attack him/her for their husbandry? I have been a member here for over two years now, have went from one to 15 BPs and still accept criticism when warranted as I am also still learning everyday. I don't try to criticize others and I expect criticism I receive to be constructive and not just accusations and opinionated. You would have been better served to have thought out what you wanted to say and then word it better to avoid sounding so irrational. I am not attacking you here either, just giving some friendly advice :)

paper cut :rofl:
I use no hides in my tubs and my snakes thrive, the only abuse here is your post :rolleye2:
He lives in a country that has high temps and it sounds like adding heat to an already hot tub would probably make the environment too hot.
Believe it or not they don't NEED a temperature gradient, if you can give them one they do better IMO but it's not a do or die thing.

Thanks, but no not a DIY build this time, it is a Laura Secord display case that was just tweaked a little to become a snake enclosure. The BP loves the cats, when she is out with me the cats come over to her and lick her head if I let them, she has no problems with them at all. When she is in her house she will come over to the glass and dance with the cats almost, she is very interested in them, not fearful at all.

Tee-hee...Still being improved, but I think it's pretty good. :) (I'm so pleased about my perfect temps...haha)
btw, that little useless temp gauge isn't vital for me, I've got the important bits covered with digital, obviously. I just had it, and I figured I might put it in there....lol.

Re: Show us your set-ups
Some aquariums; both BP normal (Richard) and Leopard Gecko (Honey). The rack is a 32 qt that houses some het pieds and hopefully some new morphs shortly.

heres Marleys(normal bp) first set up
its quite a complicated little 20gallon,theres so many hiding spots and crevices for her to be "sneaky".one of the hot hides has a piece of slate rock directly on top of glass where a heating pad is(ive monitored the warmth of the rock and it doesnt get thermal burn hot).humid hide with bridge and moss on top,hollow bonzai tree, a coconut hide,half log,two terra cotta pots.i cant wait she gets bigger so i can pimp her big enclosure out.shes only 20" right now.
http://s142.photobucket.com/albums/r...arleycribs.mp4
Doc(convict cichlid)
i adopted this fish from a negligent owner and will be getting a bigger aquarium sometime soon in the living room.10 gallon hollow log multiple enries some live and fake plants a castle black gravel and river rocks.

start of my emperor scorpion ill be getting this weekends home.

sorry about the glare and ramblings.

bplover and pp its not ignorant. i think only breeders that have like a thousand snakes can get away with the minimalist approach if you have a couple of pets spoil em.i live where it gets hot too but dont reptiles need a heat gradient???that tub is just a big warm hiding spot.too me it is animal abuse.such a boring existance with nothing to explore its like throwing you in a white room with nothing in it except for a tub of water.im not trying to fight or call names just sharing my opinion you each are entitled to your own but please keep name calling to yourselves.my bp is healthy eats whatever i put in front of her and never shows aggression.sometimes she fights me to stay outside with me even though her enclosure is a pimped out lil setup.im still disgusted and it shouldnt matter to you because your happy and so is our pets.

omg jaxx enclosure is siiiiicccckkk!!!!!!
and eros rocks!!
"the only abuse here is your post"
hahaha i like the witty ones

hahaha my bp chose her hides.she wouldnt use certain ones.they were all about the same size but i guess the textures or something made her just hang outside of em in the fake plants.picky asssssnake.
ps.phobia i apologize i shouldve asked before i scolded i just assumed the worst cause alot of people take crap care of their animals.i just took in a cichlid that shouldve been dead in his algae,ph,ammonia,nitrite mess of a no filter 10 gallon tank.

i agree and i already apologized for shooting first and asking later. it was opinionated cause tubs just look so sad to me.reminds me of when my dog bit a mean old lady and he had to stay in doggie jail for like 3days for vaccinations and such.

Jaxx Halifax? me too! that is quite odd I have so rarely run into anyone whom is here from my neck of the woods!

A sideways tank.
Your post did come off quite abrasive. Every keeper has different set ups and diligent keepers make good ones where the animal is feeding and house well. With out all the facts (like what challenges each keeper faces everyones are different) tact is required. If it isn't to your taste that is fine but it is your taste not his.
Very few people have true gradients anyway, most have a hot spot and cool spot with almost instant shift between them. I personally have 2 enclosures of 8 that have real gradients the rest just have hot/cold spots. Not everyone agrees with my approach but no one whom has had dealings with me can claim I am not diligent in my methods.
-
LoL, so there are at least 3 of us from Halifax on here. Cool. If ever I need a snake sitter I know who to ask. :)

It's ok to disagree, but how you chose to word it is what can be tricky. Unlike actual conversation via phone etc, people reading your thoughts perceive you in a whole other light. A simple email, letter etc can sound so harsh when the initial intent was just to ask a question. I have done the same and learned lessons from it as well. Once you put it in black and white, it's hard to take back.

kite that is amazing! i wanted to do something like that but was afraid the sides wouldnt hold up.i just seen it done and now i got a new project:D..
yeah there is a myriad of ways of keeping balls.to each their own and pgh is right that written words dont really convey the full message because it lacks emotion and tone of voice.some of what i said was obviously sarcasm "a paper cut"for instance.but next time i criticize online i wont let the words come off my fingers first..cause i am by no means an expert in herpetology or pretty much anything.i just have a opinions and beliefs like anyone else.
i dont believe i have a "true gradient"just different spots in the tank that are different temps for her to choose from.shes a pig and friendly as a snake can be and that is all i can ask from her.oh i could ask if she would stop pooping and urating in her hollow tree and do it somewhere else.its so annoying to clean that out.

anatess now thats a tub:bow:

One of my racks. I also have a 4 slot 41 qt. AP rack and two home made 28qt racks (4 and 5 slot stacked)

Jaxx I'll keep that in mind... you never know.

mark and marley I sometimes write something and then sit on it for a bit before I hit post. Sometimes I don't. I try to sit on the fence, I have the tanks posted and 3 enclosures and a rack so a little bit of everything. I don't believe and one is better or worse just different. People will jump on tanks just as quickly as people jump on tubs. It isn't what you set up it is how you set up the enclosure that matters! Careful, attentive and diligent beats lax, lazy and negligent.
-
omg can we let me judging pps crappy set up go already?i think its crap still but thats my personal opinion and yes i shouldve asked before i spoke and yes i apologized already.im quite attentive to my bps needs and no way negligent.im constantly checking on her temps and humidity.she is as healthy as can be and quite the lil piggie.i even took her to the vet when i got her.i pretty muched saved the lil baby.i knew nothing of the sort of breeders and such and purchased her at gasp horror music plays dun dun dun petsfart.she had a respiratory infection and i had to administer baytril for ten days.if me giving my snake shots for ten days and keeping up with her husbandry and vet visits isnt attentive and caring i dont know what is.she gets new water everyday and i pay close attention to the ambient odors to see if there is something to be removed.i dont appreciate the negligent implications.
its not the tub that disgruntled me.i too one day want to have lots of snakes some will be in tubs and some will have pimped out enclosures.but all will have cool things in there with em.some nice substrate and some hides and heating devices.yes pp lives where its really hot but i feel it is necessary to give your cold blooded friends the ability to choose the temp it wants to sit in just like in the wild and not one set temp for the entire thing.just me. i shouldntve came at him like i did.so get off my back its old news.i give people crap for getting upset at someone with out asking things first and there i went and became a hypocrite.oh well get over it.people make mistakes.lets move on and see some cool enclosures and have some constructive conversations.sheesh.i will hear no more of this.
thank you
