Hello everyone! My daughter has been asking for over a year to get a snake. We had the opportunity over the weekend to pick up a 16 year old 4' ball python named Hunter. The previous owner had Hunter his whole life got him when he was a teenager. He said Hunter is super chill never bit anyone and eats frozen thawed rats. I am not a snake person but my GF who I live with loves reptiles and owned snakes in the past. My daughter is 9 and loves him already. We put him in a 55 Gallon tank with coconut substrate, water and 2 hides. He a hot side using a 100 watt red lamp on a thermostat. The hot side seems to be in high debate on the heating choice. Many YouTube videos suggest heater under the tank with a thermostat. 2 local reptile shops have said no use a lamp. So thoughts on that would be great. Next thing is Hunter in 16 years has never tried to escape. Regardless my ex wife will do anything to take my custody away. I need a good plan for securing our friend Hunter. Can anyone suggest a good display enclosure that is the right size, holds humidity and locks?
