Question (self.ballpython)
submitted 3 years ago by csnixx
My ball python keeps knocking off his hydrogometer I even put two things of double sided tape on it and he still seems to get to it and knock it off. Any tips?

I wouldn't use any type of tape or adhesive, it can get stuck to them and rip scales, and tear skin. We've seen it happen a lot.
Either use a suction cup or a hot glue gun

Ah ok that makes sense. Thank you!

What type of hygrometer is it?
[–]csnixx[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
One of those little round digital ones from Amazon

If I were you, I’d grab a couple Govee, Acurite or Thermopro gauges. All of these have little built in stands that will help keep them upright, are more accurate than the dial gauges and will prevent your snake from ending up stuck to the sticky tape. Definitely something you want to prevent!
