So i have had my ball python for about a month now and he just completed a shed that was pretty bad, he is about 3 or so months old and I just have some questions about the enclosure so i can avoid him having to go through a bad shed again.
here is my setup for his terrarium
-Right now i am using i think a ten or 15 gallon tank with a lock screen top ( not sure what size it was given to be by the person who original had the snake)
-I'm using a zoo med under tank heater for a 10-20 gallon tank along with a hood fixture cycling 50 watt uv, and then 50 watt night bulbs for heat and for a photo cycle
-he has a good sized water bowl that if he curled up he could soak in, 2 hide huts, one on the hot side above the UTH, and one about halfway in the tank under a piece of wood i got from the pet store for him to climb on.
-along with this i am using eco earth cocoanut substrate
my main problems are that i can't seem to keep humidity above 30% and i spray often but the humidity goes down rather rapidly even when i spray heavy ( usually within a few hours). Also i can't seem to get the temperature of my enclosure about about 75 degrees either, my snake comes out often and seems happy enough, but im worried that my setup is insufficent for him. If anyone could give me some tips or let me know what i am doing wrong i would greatly appreciate it.![]()
