    Cuddle Puddle

    This is actually not my snake, but something cute I saw at Petco recently. A baby ball cuddle puddle!

    Aww look how they struggle to find comfort in the corner of a way to bright and exposed with way to low humidity enclosure.

    they are competing for the best spot in the enclosure; they are not cuddling. this is a sad photo and another great example as to why pet stores should not carry reptiles or, frankly, any other animals.

    This really sucks for them to be so exposed and fighting for the best spot in the cage. I wish pet stores practiced better husbandry.

    Yup, unfortunately nothing cute about that at all.

    I sure am trying. I am less than two months a snake owner but I hope to get it down quickly and have the happiest snake in the world.

    Re: Cuddle Puddle

    So if they are all pooled in the corners instead of in the hides, does that mean the center of the tank is too warm?

    Too hot or too cold and those half logs they provide are garbage for several reasons.
