    Ok, I said I was gonna' stay out of this one...Sue me, I lied.

    Kendra, Your set up is just not what your BP needs. I understand your Vet may think your snake is healthy, but most Vets wouldn't know a healthy BP from a sick donkey. If your Vet knows what kind of set up you have, and he's fine with it, you need to find a new Vet. Seriously.

    Your BP needs a little more than "kind of dry". From the pictures I saw on facebook, I can't believe she hasn't gotten scale rot yet. The vast majority of your tank is far too wet for a BP. You do understand that they come from the grass lands of western Africa, right? And, you do understand that your green tree frogs come from the rain forest, right? There is no way those two environments can coexist in the same tank. Let me say that again, there is no way that will work long term.

    You seem like you want to be a responsible ball python keeper. If that is the case, I implore you to set your snake up in a proper enclosure where you can meet all her needs, and not compromise her safety by keeping her in the middle of that thing you call a zoo. BTW, they wouldn't do what you are doing at a zoo. That should tell you something.
