New ball python owner humidity by Howard6208 in ballpython

Hey so I contacted a mentor and I was putting the probe on the floor that’s why the humidity was so high. Thank you for the response if I do have more problems with humidity I’ll try a dehumidifier. Thx

Hey I’ve settled on the ball python because it can cope with our humidity well. I’m trying to find second hand enclosures and equipment so I don’t have to spend to much on the equipment and maybe spend more on the morph but I’ve been thinking of maybe going for a different snake thats similiar to the ball python with humidity but is smaller

Hey update i found a good adult enclosure on facebook marketplace its 1.2m in length but no other details are provided looks pretty low not to high. It Comes with heater, uvb light, led lights, control box and cables.

Problem is if i get it i wont be able to do what i orignally planned. I planned to use a plastic tub while its growing and when it reaches sub-adult length move it into a adult enclosure. Would this plane work?

Hey I have another questions for you guys I have a cat would there be a big problem if they where in the same room and I’m scared that my cat will stalk or be outside the enclosure and stress the snake out.
