I honestly haven’t decided what to put in it yet! I plan on getting a ball python hatchling at the next reptile expo (Which I have a 10g tank set up for), so probably one day that. Haven’t had snakes in a few years, so I wanna get back into it one step at a time.


And yeah, lighting with the current fixture would be risky. But it looks like I am going to have to get a new socket anyway so I intend on getting one that has a guard around it.
