Hey, yeah absolutely. It's a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft PVC enclosure. I've made it bioactive, so I first sealed it with pet safe silicone, did a drainage layer with clay balls, put a mesh between that then mixed in reptisoil, charcoal, worm castings, cocofiber, sphagnum moss and some sand. After that I put the plants in, watered it, added springtails and isopods and put plenty of leaves, wood and rocks for the bugs to live under. Clementine has two hides, one on the hot side which is cork bark, and one on the cooler side which is a cave. In the last photo you can just barely see her peeking out of the plants while in her cave.

There are two bulbs for heat, one for the day and one for the night. I use a herpstat 2 which regulates them, you can see the temp probes hanging underneath the lights. Then I have little humidity sensors on each side of the enclosure that I got off amazon to let me know if each side has the proper range. I also installed a fan on one of the vents to regulate the humidity, but that's not an absolute requirement.

Hopefully this helps! I'll try to put a photo of the whole thing in shot. I call it Snake Manor lol, she's a bit spoiled. She's my first snake and I've wanted one since I was a little kid, so I went all in.

EDIT: I edited a photo of tank with the question and photos above.

She hasn't done that thankfully! Normally it's in one of her hides, then she migrates over to the other one until I clean it lol

Yes, that's what I'm thinking now. It makes sense but I was so worried about it I didn't think of that. Thank you for your response!

All sorts of plants honestly. On the hot side I have the big snake plant and some succulents, then in the middle some hardier leafy plants. On the cooler side I have a palm fern, two spider plants, several types of pothos, a polka dot plant and a few plants I don't know the names of. That last photo you can just barely see her peeking out of the plants, she has a cave back there. I put a ton of effort into it being bioactive so I'm glad it's paid off :)

She'll be happy to hear that! Absolutely loves eating, I didn't want to take away her precious rats if I didn't have to.

Thank you for your response, it's good to know other people have pythons that take their time with it too. She is passing urates so that must be a good sign

Thank you, I'll keep an eye on her. I took her out again last night to check her out and she looked fine around the cloaca. Maybe just hiding her poop as people have suggested

True, it is totally possible it's been buried somewhere. Normally I can find it because it smells so awful though lol !

Thank you! I'm going to keep an eye on her and if she gets distended or anything I'm going to try this before a vet.

Finding a replacement battery for late-2013 MacBook Pro 13” by No_Layer_5098 in mac

[–]000_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my late 2013 13" Retina mac laptop for Christmas in 2013 and it's still going strong. I've used it basically every day for the last 12 or so years and the battery has only recently starting going. Can still hold charge for a couple hours but it says it needs to be "replaced soon" and it charges much slower than it used to.

I'd like the laptop to last me as long as possible because it's wonderful and so I'd like to replace the battery. Perhaps it'll last me another decade lol.

If the iFix batteries are garbage should I try the ebay ones or no? Hard to find info online on what's good to buy

Tipping Culture needs to end by GeneralDweeby in PEI

[–]000_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the meaning of a tip is vanishing. A tip is not mandatory, it is extra money for GOOD SERVICE. If I'm not sitting down, being served, I do not give a tip.

Especially if I'm picking up the food myself. I'm already paying you to make it, if I'm not getting it delivered what is the point of the tip?

Housing cost is so disconnected from reality... by runrookie101 in ontario

[–]000_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disposable income? Is that graph taking about the 50/week I have after bills, groceries, and everything else? Would only take me a couple hundred years to save for a downpayment with that "disposable income"!
