Hi everyone,
I'm moving my new ball python Flynn up to a 20 gal vivarium within the next few months, and I have a basic plan, I'd just like to run it past some experts. I'd like to make the enclosure bio-active as well. I will seal the bottom, then add a layer or plastic or garbage bag to prevent water damage. Then I'm going to layer an eco-earth/orchid bark mix over that, as well as a layer of moss, leaf litter, and tree bark. Next I'd add two closed hides, a half log, three potted live plants, and a ledge/pvc pipe for climbing purposes. Finally, I'm planning to put in a large water dish and sand box for burrowing, as well as a few other rocks and decorations. Does everything here sound okay? I'll use a heatpad, an infrared bulb, and a white UVB bulb for heating and lighting, but will the plants be okay with this? The cage gets plenty of natural light. Oh, and I'll be using wood lice/spring tail cultures for cleanup. Thanks for looking it over!
