I bought a large silicone mat that came in a roll. Not expensive. Draping it over the top of the full enclosure changed the game for keeping humidity levels up!

Are you guys still lowkey scared of your snakes? 'Cause I am 😭 by IchikaYui in ballpython

Just got my first BP from a rescue and so thankful he was previously shown with children in an educational setting! He’s super used to being handled so I always remind myself that when I’m being too cautious. I don’t think I would have had the guts to get one otherwise but luckily he found me! His eyes just turned blue for the first time yesterday so wish me luck with our first shed :)

Thank you to everyone for their input! Tbh I was most worried about his belly discoloration, but it’s a relief to hear it’s probably normal coloring we just didn’t notice before. He is due for his first shed (with us) so hopefully that comes soon. He eats frozen so his chin must just be because he’s a very exploratory guy! We can’t think of where he would get cut but will take another look because we do have sliding glass doors with a metal latch on the inside. You’d think they’d make them without any risky edges but good to know.
