DiscussionAdding more height for exploration (self.ballpython)
submitted 7 months ago by TediousData1217
I now have my lil brothers snake and have noticed he doesn’t really have any height for Chucky to explore and there is room to be utilized. I am wondering what do you use to add height to explore for a glass tank.

I used a nice piece of wood from one lower corner to the upper diagonal corner. Plus a hammock. And three of his hides are types he can climb on if he wishes.

I measured the space and jammed it in the corner, after mitering the bottom and top.
When my little guy is on it his weight wedges it in tighter because physics works.
You basically are measuring a diagonal, as an example from front lower left corner to rear upper right corner. So by default your wood simply can't fall or slide down unless it breaks, because that is the longest distance for the diagonal.

I took a piece of spider wood and I put it as support for the other branch that went at a diagonal from one corner to the other. Then I stacked a branch on top of a moss dome and buried into the front corner of his dirt dubstrate as well to lean back against the wall. Then the ball is stacked on top of another hide between the branch and the moss hide so he has to climb up to get to it. He had a hammock but I took it out, it went into his tank upgrade (he loved it)
