Above are three pictures. The first one is in his bottom den, the second one is when he went on top of his den and the 3rd is the front of his home. I did something different. I turned the fish tank on it's side and bought the heavy duty metal tank topper with door. This gives more floor space and very easy access so he can come out daily with no hassle of sliding the tank out. Plus since heat rises it will actually keep the heat in better with the top being solid.

Unless your room is humidified to 60%, though, you may have to cover most of that 'screen front' with plastic (or wood) to trap humidity. It looks like it wouldn't do a very good job of that.

Also, if those rocks aren't actually attached, you may want to silicone them down. Ball pythons are extremely strong, and they can push over things you wouldn't think they would be able to. I wouldn't want to see him shift that structure and be injured.

DJ--as safe as anything. It's too late to avoid contamination from things like BPA and Phthalates. I'm pretty sure that as time passes, they'll find that other types of plastics have issues as well. They never really WERE properly tested, and they're made from petroleum.

Have plastics saved more lives than they have ended? It's an interesting question. We will need to replace them as soon as possible with something safe that has similar properties--it's a devil's bargain at the moment.

Out in the Pacific lies at least 700 square kilometers of exceptionally high concentrations of pelagic plastics, chemical sludge, and other debris. It's called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and it's a sign of the legacy of plastic that could be with us for a very, very long time...

So, I say, our ball pythons are as safe in their plastic bins as we are in our homes.

I don't think this girl knows what a Peer-Reviewed Scholarly article even means.

And see, that is why she has no sources what-so-ever. Therefore, her argument is invalid and not credible.

When you try to take a fact and put it with an opinionated topic, you better have a credible source, or you're really just blowing things out of your arsenal.
