Here is a photo of what I had Wyatt in (minus the light):
This week, I "dumped" him into a rack system...
Ball Pythons, I quickly learned, are not showcase animals, and although the glass habitat brought me enjoyment as a nice visual, I struggled to maintain proper temps and humidity, which I now easily maintain in his rack. What we as owner "think" is nicer for our ball pythons often is detrimental to their health. I don't think you or I would find a termite hole to be a nice, comfortable home, but a ball python sure would. What you may view as owner laziness, the snake sees as an ideal home. Wyatt doesn't "love" me any less, or isn't less "happy" because he doesn't have dollar store plants or "realistic looking" hide, he just wants a warm, humid home, which he can find in the tub much better than he could the aesthetically pleasing habitat.
