Hey guys what's up new guy here and first time snake owner of a awesome pastel ball python hahaha I just got this tank for basically free from a friend that had his python in it. My question is I have a UTH that came with my tank kit and she loves going into her hide at night but I've heard good and bad things about putting it in the tank with her. I currently have aluminum foil wrapped on the pad and cage carpet on top so basically I wanna hear what you guys think about it Also I heard that I need to apply polyurethane on the wood to help out with humidity issues and I plan on painting the enclosure black.
