It's been about a week since I put my snake in it's new home. I'd say the snake is acting very happy and is enjoying the new smells and sights. I don't hear the midnight thumps I used to hear when it's tail would smack the glass climbing off branches, although it does seem more active.
But it ain't all fun n games here. One issue I'm working on right now is humidity in the substrate. We are currently going through a wet season in the casa del snako. The dividing glass I used to divide the water section of his tank was just too thin and cracked down the center allowing the water to flood the substrate. The crack actually happened during installation of the log over the top which was installed to strengthen the glass. During the installation I cracked it and without another piece to replace it and a tight budget I used silicone to try and get away with not replacing immediately. And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddly kids and their dang dog!
All in all it seems like the bigger space with more natural habitat is a positive for my Ball. I was concerned the larger habitat and new environment would make my snake nervous but it seems very content.
Here is a video of el snako in it's "natural" habitat. I'm digging how the colors pop with the foliage!!
