Hello! I’ve been hoping to get a ball python since August, and I will hopefully be getting a super pastel from XYZReptiles some time in the coming months. I’ve had my enclosures set up and on the reptile site I moderate for a while, but I figured I’d get some additional insight from a forum

my quarentine enclosure is a 66 QT. tub with paper towel as substrate, 3 bowl hides (cool, humid, and warm), a heavy, resin water bowl, a large fake plant for cover, an under tank heater on a thermostat, and a 65 watt Phillips flood bulb for additional day heat and light. During the day, temperatures in the coolest part of the enclosure stay around 80 or slightly above, and the warmest stays 92 or below. At night, temperatures generally range from 78-87. Humidity stays around 55-70, sometimes going slightly higher for a short period after I mist.

this enclosure will only be used as quarantine for a month, if the snake is healthy.

substrate is fine grade fir bark (reptibark), along with a few pieces of moss. There are 3 hides if you don’t count the clutter, and the enclosure is a 50 gallon tub I’m in the process of putting sliding doors on. The heating is the same as the previous enclosure.
The snake will be upgraded if it grows longer or almost as long as this enclosure.

Does anything need to be changed?
