So my boyfriend and i are going to build our first terrarium. For my first ball python. he decided to build it for me instead of buying so i wouldnt have to keep getting new ones. Hes going to be making it to fit a full grown python.
So on to the questions:
So what kind of wood would be best? I know there are types of wood thats poisonous to them. But is that ingesting it or being around it?
I want at least two basking spots, one at the top and one at the bottom. Hoping that helps with regulating the temp. Any tips on how to better do that? What type of heat lamps would be best?
The humidity, is going to drive me crazy. How do i figure out what it is supposed to be at? Would it be easier to get a humidifier than putting water under the lights?
Can i use sand as the bedding? It would hold heat better....
Any books or website you think i should go to for any info would be helpful.
Please and thank you
