Yeah, even though my snake usually spends most of her time hiding I can still count on seeing her head poked out of her hide for most of that time, and I usually find her exploring her tank at least three or four times a day which I’m not sure I would get with a ball python (although I have heard that they can be pretty active at night)Originally Posted by Bogertophis
I totally agree. I love that my snakes are fine with the ambient temps. I keep my house at, along with UTH for good digestion. (Some have over-head warmth/lights too.)
I also prefer glass tanks, various reasons, including great visibility. And when it comes to winter, I live in a warmer climate than you (much further south) but even here we get some snow & less often, ice storms that can knock out power. It would be a much bigger challenge to deal with snakes that need those higher temps. to remain healthy in such emergency situations. Besides that, I love that colubrids are generally more outgoing & active...I love to watch my snakes & have them watching me back.
