    New hides/ setup and some cuteness

    My Zola finally outgrew her baby hides. She's growing up. So, just upgraded. New hot/cold hides, and a new humid hide. Her first hides were Dollar Tree plastic bowls with a door cut in and edges melted smooth. I did the exact same thing this time, just the next size up. I plan on getting her the nice heavy duty Reptile Basics hides when she gets closer to her adult size, but while she's growing like a weed, I will just keep getting her bowls in ascending sizes.


    If any of you are considering a vision enclosure, this is what they look like set up. The light comes from a lamp I have on a table behind the enclosure. I only turn it on when I need to see in there, otherwise it is off for her privacy. That is my only big complaint about the vision enclosures is they are very dark if you actually want to see your snake cruising around. But, ball pythons do not do much cruising in the first place, and they love the dark, which makes vision enclosures perfect for them.


    Cool side. Everything looks wet because I just gave it a good mist. I don't have central heat in my apartment, just one of those wall heaters. Drains humidity in the whole room as soon as I turn it on. Lame.


    Warm side! I totally switched from the old to the new hide really sneakily because I felt like I was taking away a beloved childhood blanket. . I lifted the old one off of her and she was stuffed in there so good she just spilled out in a pitiful little pile. haha. Then I just plopped the new one down on top of her and she shuffled around in it and poked her head out to try and figure out what just happened, but ultimately accepted it.

    Her humid hide is the thing with an orange lid in the back. Just a tupperware with moss, not very exciting.


    Had to do a close up, she is just too adorable.


    And just for fun: playing in my sweatshirt pocket. Too cute.

    Thanks for reading!

    Thank, Python Addict. That means a lot. I am a huge animal lover and I believe in giving all of the animals in our care everything they need to be as happy as possible. I'm living my first apartment, and they don't allow cats or dogs or I would have one of those too, but anything that doesn't get fleas is allowed, so I got my snake about a month after I moved in. My fiancé thinks it's cute how much I obsess over her. I care very deeply about her being a happy snake, and I think she is!

    Thanks, everyone! Yeah, when she crawled in my pocket I was SO thrilled my digital camera was on the table next to me because I didn't want to get up and disturb her, she looked so content! She actually settled completely inside it a few minutes later so I almost forgot she was there!! haha! Guess I'm warm.

    Actually, you can make a great jungle set up on a budget! You can buy silk plants for $1 at WalMart! All you have to do is wash them good, and then look them over carefully and trim any sharp plastic edges with nail clippers. When they wear down, just toss them and get some new ones! Two of my plants are silk ones from WalMart, then I bought one $15 reptile plant that had three stalks of leaves and just broke them apart to make the greenery look fuller.

    I honestly don't think our snakes care if they have plants and greenery as long as they have a warm place to hide. I just like the look of it myself, and I did all the foliage for $17. And in all honesty, the $1 silk plants from WalMart are holding up just as well as the spency reptile one, so I could have done it just as easily for about $5. I soak them all in a 10% bleach solution every 2 weeks and the only difference is the silk plants have faded slightly, but they're still green, and they aren't frayed or torn or anything.
