The Kaiju thread - CB17 female Pearl Burmese Python

[CALM Pythons]

Ok I did write a post but it looks like it didn't process. She's on paper towels now 63% humidity. Going to change to aspen after her next poop as shes been stressed out enough.

Good idea
I know theres high humidity in the wild during Rain season but they also have unregulated space to find a dry spot that suits them.. I think your making a good decision by trying a dryer substrate. A good swim will raise the humidity a lot too when she starts getting around a little more in her enclosure so its always been best for me to keep it average so its not to over the top when they party & splash at night

Ha ha, hopefully things work out. You always hear about humid substrates and misting being required. Yeah if you live in the desert maybe lol.

I think when they say that, they're talking about humid substrates and misting required for a glass tank (most of these care sheets seem to have been written before PVC cages were popular) .....an enclosure sealed like yours should only require paper substrate. Indented kraft paper is the bee's knees btw (just order a big roll of it on amazon)....or newspaper works well.

Personally, I prefer the look of aspen over paper but it's just so messy. I always find myself vacuuming. Kraft paper for me.

Yeah I really like the look of bark but it's too humid when it sweats under the heat. Aspen looks good too though.

What are you guys using as your day time and night time temps?

My male pearl Burm will be provided with an 80F ambient temperature, with a 92F hotspot during the day.

78F ambient 90F hotspot at night.

I use radiant heat panels in my cages and I believe CALM does as well

....note: My cage is all ready to go but due to cold temperatures where I live, my Burm cannot be shipped for several weeks yet and I havent gotten around to making the 9 hour one-way car ride to pick him up yet....he'll be here soon enough

Mine stopped using the Hot Side so i kicked it down to 88-90F & I couldn't believe they traveled over there by the next morning like they received a memo lol.. Been there ever since too after being Cool Side junkies.
I think all this 91 degree preaching is a couple degrees to warm for most of them.. Not to mention if you have RHP's the top of a Large and XL hide is tall so closer to the RHP and reaches 94.5/95F easy. They don't like that. Seems 88/89 FL TEMP is perfection in my experience.

Those night temps are pretty spot on for me. Daytime is a little warmer but she can cool down throughout the gradient should she choose to.

Glad everything is going good.. Hows she doing at night? Is she coming out and doing Snake stuff? Exploring etc...

Yeah mate, she comes out at night to explore but stays hidden during the day. I've dimmed the LEDs down during the day too. Got a new thermo hygrometer that seems really accurate (those high and low numbers were from before I put it in the enclosure so don't worry ha ha).
