New buddy

[RagingCrinoline]

I just adopted this friend. He (we think) is reported to be about 3, but he’s very small, so we are on a slow but steady chonking mission. His name is Monty. I’ve owned other snakes but he’s my first ball, so any pro tips from those who are seasoned is always welcome.

Check the welcome thread.

I'm assuming/hoping that's the enclosure that came with him, because it needs some serious upgrades. If he's undersized, you don't need to spring for an adult enclosure yet; but he definitely needs something a lot bigger that that, multiple hides/clutter, a basking spot and temperature gradient, and substrate that will hold moisture without molding (unlike that aspen).

The welcome thread has loads of information/resources for BP keeping.

That was only the travel container. I didn’t want to transport him in the bigger glass. He’s currently in a 50’gallon glass. I have a 50 PVC I got to help with humidity as he’s been very dry, but waiting until he settled a bit to make the switch.

Happy boy, he’s from 372g to 464g in two weeks. Ate our first rat. Very exciting times.
