Being fair about PetSmart (and buying your ball python from them)

...oh, and as far as glass goes, you will be fine with glass. All my snakes are in glass and are all healthy and doing well (my Cal King just shed a few minutes ago, perfect one-piece shed). However, I do plan to switch to PVC when I can. Unfortunately, it's a money thing right now. I've never had a PVC enclosure, but based on everything I've read, they are awesome. I personally like having the display style enclosures, so a tub and rack system doesn't fit my personal needs.

The original kit i looked at was acrylic but i haddddd to listen to the girl afraid of snakes. Had a bunch of the bedding and heating supplies in it too.

I'd wager that was an exoterra setup probably. Don't feel bad they are roughly the same as just using a glass tank...no better at holding humidity or temps at all. You'll be fine lol.

I just like acrylic because its lighter than glass, easier to clean. Also....how does a snake escape a sock? I dont even understand whats going on at this point. I just found the little critter under my chair.

haha they can get out, into or around anything you throw at them. they are masters of it. I had one sneak out of his tub to crawl up behind my female's tub. Only found him when I tried to slide her tub back in and hit major resistance lol.


it is too high but don't freak out, it's not going to kill the snake in a matter of days or anything lol. mine routinely spill their water and push the humidity to 99% lol.

Oh great so i have another Rai on my hands. That rat was Houdini reincarnated. Good to know about the humidity, ill see if i cant get it lower. Started bread since i was up anyway so kitchen is like a sweat lodge.
