Hey I'm just curious as to what you people think of my terrarium for my 1 year old spider ball python.
40 G tank
In my tank:
-under tank heater in the top right hand corner
-water dish in top left hand corner
-75W infa-red heat bulb on the same corner as the UTH
-tall tree hide, he seems to love to climb that thing.
-half log hide
-Just switched from Aspen shavings to Coconut Fibre to keep that humidity UPPPP.
-corner hide on top of UTH
-tiger skull and a rock
-also using a thermometer/hygrometer i bought at walmart. I know its not meant for terrariums but it measures the temp and humidity and it seems to work well.
-I put tin foil on the top of the screen to keep the heat in since I was having trouble with that, then I put a towel on top of that so it makes it look a little less ugly.
Some of you might say he's not old enough for a 40G tank but he seemed so cramped in his old 20G tank and he was almost as long as the tank so I just had to upgrade to a 40G, he never shows any signs of stress and never threw up or refused a meal so it seems like he's OK with the new tank. I don't have a thermometer reading his ambient temps... I'm mainly concerned about keeping track of the basking temp, since the tank is pretty big I assume as long as the basking temp is around 90F his cool side of the tank is good enough for him.
Any thoughts? i hope you guys can see these pics.....
