Hi everyone, new ball python owner here. Been getting (and using) a lot of info from this site, thanks to all...
So far, so good I think with my first baby ball. Got all the temps right, substrates, and even hides. He has gobbled up the frozen/thawed food 3 weeks running without even an ounce of hesitation.
My question regards the clay flower pot hides people suggest to buy/use from lawn/garden sections of wal-mart or wherever, etc...
I've learned from trial and error that those half log hides from petco are ****.....so i did go out and purchase a flower pot hide.
What have most of you used to cut the half moon shape on the side of the pot? I tried a couple of different methods only to crack the pot in half, LOL. I sanded down all sharp edges, pieced it back together, and it seems to work fine (it is his new favorite spot in the cage).
I plan on buying 2 more and trying it again so I have one for warm side and one for cool side, but I thought I should ask all of you what you may suggest so I don't go breaking another...LOL.
Thanks all
