    Re: Water snakes and Belly Heat :/

    So, another question!(Thanks for being so patient!) If I decide on a Ball Python(Hypothetical as I am still doing research to see whats best for me!) I would need to raise my air temp, which I cannot do in a tub(Correct me if Im wrong) and people say tanks are not good for Beeps. Even if I got a Ap cage than it would still be too big for a baby bp. So I was wondering if covering the top of the tank(a 10 gal) with alluminm tap(tape on outside of screen top) and leaving a space just big enough for a red heat bulb would work?

    Tanks are fine.

    Re: Water snakes and Belly Heat :/

    I wanted to ask something. I know people say you can use dollar store plants for snakes. I bought a kind of decoration that has no glitter or anything on it,just leaves. I was told that this was okay to use. Can anybody second that? The plant decoration thing was bought at a local shopko

    I've dealt with 3 drymarchon species: eastern indigos, texas indigos, and black tail cribos. The easterns, as will surprise no one, always get the biggest reaction. In my experience, they have all behaved more or less the same with some slight variances between individuals. However, I have only personally kept and handled maybe 20 drymarchon specimens. Larger breeders have noted to me that texas indigos are slightly more high strung than easterns and than yellow-tail cribos are the most aggressive of the group. All that said, I am pretty confident you would get the "indigo experience" from really any of the species. In some cases, with "black phase" eastern indigos, it can actually be quite hard to tell them apart from a texas indigo. Red phase indigos however are pretty unmistakable.

    I see no reason you can't use fake plants or really any decor with ball pythons. They won't care if it looks realistic or not.
