Question on buying a "hood" for my BP's terrarium.(Advice please)

[Superpop]

Save yourself alot of headache in the long run, get a tub and a uth or as mentioned above or a proper snake enclosure.

I am starting to take a bit of offense to this as my boyfriend and I both feel we have given her a "proper" enclosure.(it's just not ideal for us)

If we put her in a rubbermaid bin or get her a "proper" enclosure.(at least it's proper in your eyes) we can't use a UVB bulb.

Why do you refuse to have your ball sexed?

Because I have read they could get injured by it and really it doesn't even matter to us if our snake is a boy or a girl or a hermaphrodite like Cartman's Mom. Even if our snake comes out of the closet as a homosexual ball python we will love our snake regardless!


In all seriousness though...our snake's gender doesn't matter to us.

Ditch the UV lights, Balls don't need them...They just suck out your humidity and offer no extra benefit for your ball...

We would need proof of this before ditching UVB! As I have already stated there seems to be general "debate" about this issue.

I am not trying to "fight" with people over this UV bulb issue. It's just that there is no concrete proof that I have found that UV bulbs are unnecessary.

From what I have read and heard I feel pulled in 2 opposite directions over the issue. I can't say what is right or wrong because I am not a "snake biologist". I think "better safe than sorry" though.(and that is why we want our snake to have a UVB 2.0 bulb)
