3x2x2 Modification for Antaresia

I hope it doesn't feel like I'm too critical of your efforts- I really just want to keep you out of trouble with your new tiny snake, by giving you the benefit of my years of experience w/ tiny s.

It's not necessary to invest in tiny hides for snakes that they'll outgrow- I'm a big fan of using all sorts of clean & dry cardboard boxes- snakes do outgrow them, & a Children's python will take a long time. But cardboard can't be washed either, so keep that in mind- when they're dirty, they're trash. Probably fit in a Jello box at first, or a pasta box, lol. You learn to save these things when you open food packages.

They enjoy cardboard tubes from paper towel rolls also, but keep in mind, you can't lift it up to locate or remove the snake quickly, so that's a slight drawback. BTW, snakes cannot really get "stuck" in those either, though sometimes they can appear to be, it's mostly because they don't WANT to come out- but all you have to do is tear the cardboard tube along the spiral diagonal line where it's put together, & voila! you have the snake! (the tube is toast)

BTW, I've never used "tubs" to house snakes. But if there's too much humidity- you need more air-holes. (you can always cover them later from the outside if too much). But what are you making the ventilation holes with? Your snake will be quite tiny so they can get stuck in a pretty small hole- even if they can't go all the way thru, they can be injured or worse. I would ask the source of the snake what size hole they recommend? (the maximum size that the snake WON'T fit thru) When I got my yearling spotted python, she was still pretty small but she moved right into an aquarium with screen mesh top- if she felt nervous or lost, it was never apparent.

Water bowls should ALWAYS be flat-bottomed so they cannot be tipped. I'd give you some if you were nearby, lol. Pet stores sell them (ceramic or plastic) but you can find suitable things in thrift stores too- such as a ramekin> > >
I mostly use glass bowls- not a plastic fan, & pet store bowls are usually over-priced- many "human bowls" are fine.

Tweak on... (tweak should be my middle name, lol) I appreciate your creativity, but I know this snake will be much different than you're used to.
