I just got my first ball python - first reptile to be exact. Its a male hatched June 26, 2010. Weighs 151.7g length unmeasured but estimate 17/18 inches.
I had the enclosures etc set up before I got the snake but I didnt know how large it would end up being so I currently have two potential tubs to use.
He just completed day 1 of his acclimation period. Hope the next few days go much quicker cuz I would like to handle him again real soon.
I have two tubs, one is 11"x7" and maybe 7 tall and a 15 quart Sterilite 16.5"x13"x6".
I decided to put him in the small tub but now I am second guessing my decision. I grabbed two small hides from the expo and with the small Dollar Store water dish it looks a little cramped. I am aware that the smaller the better but is there enough room for him to move around adequately.
Here are the pics of the enclosure, hes chillin in the cool side hide:
(I just got another thermometer with probe so I will be removing that one against the hide)
So what do you guys think? I took two pictures today but want to leave him alone as much as possible.
A. Is the current enclosure ok for now,
B. should I update the enclosure once hes adjusted, or
C. change it immediately.
D. Maybe its just the water dish is a bit too large.
Anyways thanks for any advice. Like I said i have the second ready to go, just need to move the hides and thermometer/hydro.
