Display Enclosures for Ball Pythons: Expectation vs. Reality

[Zincubus]

I see a lot of new keepers (and more experienced ones) talk about maintaining a display enclosure so they can watch their snake cruise around. Something pretty to look at. I get it! I've kept my ball pythons in tubs and display enclosures and for me, the actual snake viewing time is the same: non at all.

So, I just wanted to share with you a funny comparison photo. Display enclosure expectation:



Vs. Reality:



I've fixed up the plants every day for the last two days and every morning I awake to this mess. Lol! I give up! If this is how she likes it, this is how I'll leave it.

I notice that this was a tongue-in- cheek post but you did kinda suggest the snake ' viewing time ' in vivs V rubs is the same when in fact if you'd simply add a few branches , wedging them in diagonally or glueing with a hot- gun then you'd actually see a MASSIVE difference as Royals will climb for hours in the evenings given the chance .

Your display actually looked good but as someone else mentioned it simply wasn't snake proof . I've also seen some use plastic garden ties which are hot-glued in place and then the plastic / fake plants are easily removed and replaced time and time again .

All credit to you for choosing a Viv and making it look so nice though !!
