    Bio-active vivarium for ball pythons

    So im thinking about doing a couple 55gs for my two ball pythons. Im talking bioactive with a moving water feature.

    Anyone have any advice?

    Re: Bio-active vivarium for ball pythons

    I'd probably ditch the water feature, honestly. They tend to be a bit of a nightmare. I'd save it for an animal that would actually benefit from all the effort it'll take to build and maintain.

    Aside from that, what kind of advice are you looking for? I've been running a bio enclosure for my ball python for a few months.

    Like what kind of substrate? and what insects would be best.

    What kinds of plants?

    And how do you still have hides and make them look like part of the landscape?
