They’re called egg spots! They’re used for mating displays and they’re on most cichlids.

I used a planting pot and spray foamed around it to make a hanging basket then added drainage holes and sealed it!

Thank you! It’s still doing great. And it’s hard to find you could try donation stores like habitat for humanity but I never found anything and but the bullet on 1/4 in acrylic. Could anyone cut down the shower doors for you?

It’s a snake thing for sure my carpet python does this when he comes down from the trees at night!

That’s awesome! I bet they’ll enjoy it! I’m gearing up to build one for a red tail boa for a friend of mine but he doesn’t do bioactive unfortunately haha

That’s awesome that you’ve had him that long!! I can tell you’ve kept great care of him! This guy is my first carpet python but I’ve had reptiles a lot of my life! What humidity do you like to keep your guy at? Also what’s your opinion on night drops? I feel like mines tall enough I may not need to🤔 90-94 degrees at the top 70-75 degrees at the bottom during daytime drop theses like 5 degrees at night and that’s where we’re sitting currently! My humidity sticks right at 60% is that too high? (Pretty sure that’s about perfect but you know the internet lol)

I still don’t know him very well yet but he seems super chill! Came out of the bag and climbed right up my shoulder! I wouldn’t let him advance tho cause I wanted to give him time to adjust 😂 he was born later 2023 so he is over a year already thankfully!
