New enclosure

[Starstop]

Hello I was just looking around at possibly getting a new en losure for my ball python. I saw on Amazon this one. Just curious if this would be a good idea it has a plastic bottom. But was not sure if wood would be a good idea.

I would not go this rout if it was me. Just not designed for them. Heat and humidity and strength would be my worries.

I think it could work. It's a nice size enclosure for the money. I like the private sleeping area. You'll need to cover the screen to hold in humidity. Use a humidity retaining substrate. Add a large water bowl and a humid hide. You'll probably want to coat the interior with polyurethane to protect the wood from the humidity (and the humidity from the wood). I think it's worth considering.

Personally I wouldn't use it but you might be able to make it work. If it were me I would buy one meant for snakes.

I think for you it is. From a post last year, I noticed that you're living in an drafty old house in New Hampshire. If that's still the case, the heavy wood used to build this enclosure may provide more protection from those drafts than glass or pvc. So, whatever you use to cover the screen should insulate for heat as well as humidity. In addition to the polyurethane I mentioned earlier, I'd use silicone to seal the interior. This will further protect the wood from moisture.

Yup that's me, with miss venom. I was looking to see if there was something better then the glass tank I have. I use blankets and I have foam board on the outside of her tank. I have moved into a better home that is not drafty and heat is not much of an issue anymore just saw this abs thought it would be a little better thank you for the help all of you.
