It has a relatively big "foot print" so will take up a lot of floor space. Not necessarily a bad thing, depending on your setup, but something that needs to be taken into consideration. Also, the gaps beneath it will encourage your ball python to crawl UNDER it...and potentially tip it over from that direction.
I like the heavy ceramic crocks...which can sometimes be found at various "dollar stores" for just a couple bucks.
Yea the only decent size ones they had was $7. I figure she tips this one ill just give it to one of the others and hide the gap under the aspen for the littler ones
