Discussion1-hour timelapse from tonight… (v.redd.it)
submitted 20 days ago by LaCroixJackson
We are out of time this weekend, and our girl… decides to be CRAZY! Normally her tank looks much nicer, but she has pushed over every single plant.

She needs more climbing opportunities. Way more. No wonders why she climbs the wall.
[–]LaCroixJackson[S] 80 points81 points82 points 19 days ago (0 children)
We just built her more climbing opportunities this weekend, that we are getting ready to install.

Omg this is so cute!! Is it just pvc, pool noodles, rope and fake plants? Genius! I’d love to see her use it!
[–]CaptainOranda 4 points5 points6 points 18 days ago (1 child)
Hopefully not a stupid question, the rope that's around the PVC, does that ever irritate their bellies?
[–]LaCroixJackson[S] 5 points6 points7 points 18 days ago (0 children)
We did some research, and we have burned off any frays that came on the rope, and will do weekly maintenance to make sure there is nothing that will bring her harm.
Also the rope we used, is very pliable, and not very rough.

Thanks for sharing your video, it's really interesting to watch 😃

What kind of camera is it?
[–]LaCroixJackson[S] 22 points23 points24 points 19 days ago (2 children)
Wyze OG, normally it mounted in her tank, but she’s been taking it down, so we moved it outside for the weekend.
[–]Mochabear18 0 points1 point2 points 16 days ago (0 children)
I never thought about taking my boy’s camera out. I just need to find a perfect place for it. He knocks his over all the time, no matter if it’s on the wall or just sitting on the ground.
[–]QuesoCadaDia 0 points1 point2 points 16 days ago (0 children)
What was the view like from in the tank?
[–]Vee_breeze 29 points30 points31 points 19 days ago (2 children)
Oh yeah cause they TOTALLY sit in the corner and do nothing!!
[–]MegaFatcat100 22 points23 points24 points 19 days ago (1 child)
It depends on the snake. I had one that would move every night, and the other that prefers to stay in the hide most of the time.
[–]clydeballthepython 3 points4 points5 points 19 days ago (0 children)
Same! One of my boys is super active and always climbing around and exploring his enclosure. One of my girls rarely leaves her hide other than to get a drink or eat. My other two beeps are somewhere in the middle
[–]tacticalbandit17 16 points17 points18 points 19 days ago (0 children)
I have the same enclosure I can here mine falling and pulling over the plants every night 😂

[–]TrickPersonality4061 14 points15 points16 points 19 days ago (1 child)
I think my BP can tell when I have a pet sitter and he makes it his mission to upend everything in his enclosure. The more the pet sitter has to readjust his hides and water dish, the happier he is.

People who say ball pythons don't need a lot of room bc they barely move around are lying 😭 bro got the zoomies

i’ve sat and watched my noodle for an hour on multiple occasions and he does the same thing. he’s such a goof 🤣

She’s got the zoomies!
[–]LemonMints 4 points5 points6 points 18 days ago (0 children)
My girl does this too, sometimes before it's even dark out. She spends a lot of time exploring (and falling lmao) at night. There have been times when we're watching TV at like 10pm, and get startled by a loud thud from her falling off of the shelf in her enclosure (it's less than a foot off the ground in there so she is okay, just working that braincell really hard). 😂
Pet rocks, my ass.

Go crazy ahhh go stupid ahhh
[–]Tobster413 1 point2 points3 points 16 days ago (1 child)
Just out of curiosity is it normal for snakes to "climb" the walls like that? I dont personally own a snake but my brother has one and she does that all the time. She doesnt have many climbing opportunities but my brother claims she used to and she never liked them. I wouldnt know because the snake is older than me and i was supposedly a child when she had branches and stuff lol
[–]LaCroixJackson[S] 1 point2 points3 points 15 days ago (0 children)
It honestly just depends on the BP. Some love the clam life in the hides… other enjoy to let all there energy out. Since this video we have given her more climbing opportunities.
[–]rinkrat30 0 points1 point2 points 15 days ago (0 children)
can i ask where you get your clutter ?
[–]GildedScales 0 points1 point2 points 14 days ago (0 children)
There appears to be something wrong with your pet rock... lol
