Hi everyone, New to the site not so new to ball pythons, had them since i was 13, currently have a baby male 100% het pied? not much white but he's pretty, i forget what the breeder called him, anyway I'm setting up his new tank pretty soon he's in a 40g right now but its ugly and its only my quarantine tank for new animals and stuff, but I'm looking to make a gorgeous vivarium already have most of it planed and already have all the plants in a seperate tank.


My biggest question is how humid is too humid? the plants i don't believe need to much watering but i can't keep it too dry either, had a couple plants die on me for leaving them un watered for a weekend, I assume the tank is about 50g I'm not entirely sure its 48x24x30 inches, custom.


Another is would it be too much to have a running stream and or waterfall. if it is its no biggy but i do want to keep the snake in a live area, no other animals, at least not till i make a much bigger enclosure. Any tips on absolutely anything would be amazing especially a low maintenance substrate or even a no maintenance substrate+false bottom, if i have water in there. I'll post pictures when i get a new camera and finish this thing snakes pretty heavy even as a baby by the way, any sturdy plants miniature trees you can think of would be great.



Thanks loads for any information you provide, in advance.
