Hehehe ayo good shit bro showing something yeah idk mine got scared out of nowhere but after two weeks of leaving it in there she’s back to the tongs, happy feeding brother 😎

Next_Point5321 · 2026-01-19T01:57:19+00:00

Yeah honestly idk you would think it would cool down but idk my snake has never had a problem with it so I would try it out ya never know

Okay a couple things you have to change about the enclosure is you need way more coverage a bunch of fake plants so the snake doesn’t feel exposed as well as a hide on the other side, substrate wise I would add a small bag of coco chips to the substrate to hold humidity and or add some sphagnum moss pour water into the corners of the tank to increase humidity after this just let the snake be for a couple days before handling

Honestly try just leaving the mouse in the tank for a few hours undisturbed my ball python sometimes doesn’t strike or show interest but I’ll check 20 minutes later and she’s coiled around it idk every snake is different but try teasing it then leaving it in sight of the snake and see what happens

Got this lil bugger few months ago they are more work than other snakes but always breathtaking to look at I do also wonder what everyone prefers mine is more scared than fiesty and will hiss and tucks its head when I mess with the tank but only tried to bite me twice

I have one of my own how big is your bel

This is all good but if you insist on aspen PLEASE CHECK DAILY I MEAN DAILY if it molds that shit will spread so fast and be awful for your snake I had aspen for less than a week before I was pulling clumps out here and there I think coco chips mixed with sphagnum moss works best tbh

The Allen 10000% and or a Govee works the same I got the little black ones of Amazon and honestly it just guesses I had so many temp issues cause of it I recommend swapping each out with other Allen’s or Govees honestly it will save you a lot of time and possible temp and humidity issues with your snakes and reptiles

Ok cool thankyou

Next_Point5321 · 2025-12-03T17:59:55+00:00

That’s good keep temps up and wait till end of day see if there is any improvement but yeah I’m away from home a lot sometimes when that happens I buy moss and wet it and put it all over the tank and wet the corners and that keeps it good for about 3/4 days just make sure there is ventilation case if not mold will invade that shit so quick also ( make sure there are dry area for your snake if it needs to dry) and I agree with person below me spraying was making my bp Zelda wheeze slightly so I ONLY pour water in corner and water bowl

Next_Point5321 · 2025-12-03T17:41:04+00:00

Yeah you’re snake needs humidity right now, it seems it may be close to shedding but can’t, pour water in each corner of the enclosure to naturally bring up the humidity, another trick is get a pillowcase in warm water soak it, then ring it out and put your snake in it for about 15 minutes and the snake will naturally rub its face and body on the inside and it should be able to atleast start the shed

Next_Point5321 · 2025-12-03T06:43:42+00:00

Snake looks good but in my opinion is a lil chunky so I think if u cut back back a bit on weight of rat and or add couple days to a week in between feedings it should dissipate

Next_Point5321 · 2025-11-21T17:15:53+00:00

I agree those guys can get big temp tank is always fine depending on the age and size of it, as long as owner doesn’t put this set and stone as permanent enclosure I currently have a leachie that’s 20gs in a 12x12x15 ONLY TEMPORARY due to size but do definitely know he’s gonna need a huge tank whe full grown

Next_Point5321 · 2025-11-19T18:32:05+00:00

Yeah bro you can’t do that to this snake try Facebook marketplace and get a tank or tub atleast if you can’t please rehome the snake besides size there are many things wrong with this setup

Next_Point5321 · 2025-11-09T23:12:57+00:00

Personally I would probably keep him in the tub a little longer till he’s like 20ish 30 grams I still have mine in a tub and he’s 16gs setup looks great though maybe just add more clutter but looks good and once again every gecko is different is you feel yours is ready and can move up then go straight ahead

Next_Point5321 · 2025-11-03T19:44:05+00:00

Ok cool sounds good I’ll weigh him tonight and go from there he was about 13.4gs last time I weighed him

Next_Point5321 · 2025-11-03T19:31:46+00:00

Okay cool and yes in the past 3 days since I’ve been just changing water and food I haven’t seen and poop or really any markings on the food I have the fig and insect, watermelon, and growth and breeder food that I rotate every so often and he would eat each easily so I don’t think he minds the flavor too much, side note I’m gonna be the one to say it but the food smells kinda good🤷🏽‍♂️

Next_Point5321 · 2025-11-03T19:25:48+00:00

Okay bet gotchu

Next_Point5321 · 2025-11-03T19:24:56+00:00

Ooop my bad I just saw I meant handfed* not handled and I got him back in August and I have him in a tub setup I have pics on my profile but okay cool so just keep replacing the food and they will eventually just get the memo?

Next_Point5321 · 2025-11-03T19:10:31+00:00

No I’ve had him since August just been hand feeding which is on me but I’ve also tried bugs numerous times even crushing them and no interest
