Hi, i am a proud owner of a baby ivory ball python name Odin.
He currently lives in a 24(l)x13(w)x16(h) glass enclosure with a screen top. He is on forest floor with a corner of new zealand moss. He have a hot and middle temp hide with a large enough water bowl for him to fit in at the cold side of the tank. He also have a heat pad and a 50w red bulb on the hot side, also a thermo/hygrometer with a prob in the middle that reads between 27-30 celsius and 49-62% humidity in general. He shed once since i have him and had a little bit of difficulties since the lady at the store told me not to worry about humidity at all with those guys in the first place if he had a large enough water bowl, so he was more around 30% at the time. I had to gave him a bath and help him a little but the problem is that now he have a retain eye cap. Do i try to remove it or wait till next shed with humidity adjustments?
Which brings me to my other question, can i spray the tank every morning and sometimes afternoon with warm water (2 drops of aquatize in it) and put moss in his hot hide to prevent drops of temp and humidity or is it dangerous for bacterial growth? At what point do i have to worry about the ''wetness'' of the tank since i have read alot of terrible things about respiratory infections and scale rot? How to prevent it and keep humidity high at the same time?
Last question, i have a 48x18x24 terrarium for him so i was wondering when he will be big and secure anough for me to put him in without stressing him too much?
So sorry for this :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:load of questions but they are so many different version on the internet and i am a bit lost, and sorry for my english btw...
I ll try to post a picture of the enclosure in my gallery.
