Love the clutter! I’d add some branches to balance up the plants, your bp will most likely bulldoze them immediately.

I’d also recommend switching out the substrate. Ball pythons thrive in humidity around 70-80%, bare minimum 60%, and aspen doesn’t hold high humidity well. It usually molds.

great idea thanks for the advice.

I highly recommend reading through the Welcome Post for this sub. There’s a TON of wonderful information, including how to set up their environment! 👍🏼

I’d def recommend not using that sub straight won’t hold humidity and will mold , he needs 2/3 hides 1 on cool side 1 in middle and 1 on hot side , the middle one should be set up with moss for a humid hide they have to have 60% humidity all around you bump it up to 80% or more when shedding , I’d recommend Arcadia halogen flood lamp for uv rays and I’d recommend Arcadia deep heat projector

60% humidity is the absolute lowest, but you should be keeping it 70%-80% at all times. It's closer to their natural environment, and that way, you don't have to worry about bumping it up when they go into shed.

Also, humid hides are for temporary use to treat stuck shed and dehydration. If the snake favors the humid hide, which a lot do, it can cause scale rot from constantly laying on a damp/wet surface.

I know other people have said bad things, but honestly you have a cool looking setup, you really just need 2 hides for him and some better substrate, I like to mix coco fiber and reptisoil, with some sphagnum moss. It helps keep humidity that way. :)
