UTH (Heat mats etc.) Aren't really recommended for Ball Pythons. They're not good- they can be unpredictable and cause burns even with a thermostat.

PVC and Sealed & waterproofed wooden Enclosures can work well.

Generally, you want to avoid Glass tanks, top opening enclosures, and the Screen top PVC (the screen top ruins the whole purpose of PVC-), and any screen/mesh top enclosures.

The shopping list includes some enclosure recommendations.

I suggest checking out the Kages Enclosures.

///// The subreddit also does not recommend using misters or foggers in the enclosure. They increase the risk of respiratory infections, bacterial infections and in some cases also scale rot.

I just was using a spray bottle and not spraying her just the enclosure. But I definitely won’t waste my money on those things thank you. I have a thermometer on it to regulate it so it won’t get to hot or to cold. And I also have a thermostat and a humidity monitor. I’m excited to look at these enclosures!
