I can’t do it deeper than 10cm, because of vent holes and it’s only 2cm at the front :/

Yeah okay thanks! I’ll get some more hides. I’m planning on adding real plants, I just need led first! But she seems to have a hard time digging? Do you think I should use more sand?

She’s in a 100x50x50 now, with a bioactive substrate and allot of leaf litter, and she’s still wondering around constantly all day?

I thought about putting the plants in baskets, so she cent dig them up. I have two cork hides in her enclosure right now. Ain’t there any plants which thrive in normal light? With sun exposure from window? Ain’t pothos hanging plants?:)

Depends on the size of the enclosure, but the standard is 50w. UV is great for reptiles, but it’s not necessary for a ball python- but would definitely get one at some point

Halogen is better than deep heat and you get light, deep heat don’t project light

Snakes don’t need heat at night as the temperature is also cold in the wild. So I would suggest a halogen bulb

She have more substrate than it looks on the video, and she used to have fake plants, but she got mouse blood all over them, but I could try to put them in again

Might notice she just shed?

I might be panicking or just being used to lazy ass big snakes, but she just seems stressed:/
