I am day dreaming of the day to own a Ball Python. I wanted to ask how this sounded as a setup:
Long enclosure.
Warm End: kind of barren with a rock hide. Just outside of it a pool (kind of) with a waterfall-like thing (a small hose. Nothing fancy.) for continuous vibrations that might mask small vibrations that might startle a ball python, and for water flow instead of standing water that bacteria can fester in. Soft, fine sand. with some rough, large rocks in random spots for rubbing against for shedding. Directly over that, a red light set to a thermostat to evaporate the water and produce humidity and heat and not disturbing the snake.
Cool End: Lots of vegetation. Aspen bedding (shredded), Tree-like structures for climbing and hiding inside. A UTH set on a thermostat with a low setting to ensure the cool end doesn't dip beneath 80F.
I plan to feed outside of the home, as this set up is going to be crowded, and I'd be more comfortable if my Ball Python had room when they are eating.
Open to opinions, corrections, etc.
