Hi!

A couple of weeks ago I posted that my daughter would be getting a ball python and got a lot of helpful advice here. We are still waiting (she has to get a straight A report card and they are late coming out this quarter)!

I mentioned that I would be making the hides and water bowl since I am a potter, and some of you were interested in seeing them, so here they are! We are still working on getting cool side temps up in the cage, but we are going for a simple setup (in the KISS theme- the hides ended up looking like Hershey's kisses and we are firm believers in the Keep It Simple, Stupid! philosophy).
Here is the cage:


And here is a hide:


The inside of the hides and bowl are cobalt blue, the outsides are natural fired clay.

I had a hard time finding an Accu-rite so I had to buy TWO thermometers- one with a probe for the warm side, and a hygrometer/thermometer for the cool side. Really stupid design- has a suction cup near the bottom so if you stick it to something it leans way out, so I put it on upside down in the corner. LOL
