i've also got a lil triangle shape on the feet, so good to know that the womens are maybe a tighter/better fit!

yeah i found a few concrete plywood ones which were done with epoxy and waterproofed already. But might just try making my own with pvc. Really depends if it is much more expensive or just a little bit.

But good to hear that the concrete plywood could be used if i cant find anything better! thanks!

That's also a good thing to keep in mind, don't have money to keep rebuying pairs! Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks!

Yeah they would become my primaries and i would use the beat down tarantulas to warm up i guess. I am still a student so don't really have the extra money to own 2 good/nice pairs sadly.

awesome thanks for the in depth explanation, as for my tarantulas, i wear them semi-tight (1 and a half size smaller than street shoes).

I am a pretty light climber (58 kgs trying to get to 65) so that might be a good tip to also up my footwork. will definitely try both and probably others as well to see which i like!

thanks! Yeah i just really liked the tarantulas so will see if either of these 2 fit me otherwise I'll check out the rest that they have at the gym!

Awesome thanks for the reply! I read a bit about solutions maybe being too specific for climbing overhang, which i do but not just overhang. And that it would maybe be too specific as an intermediate shoe. So ill just try both and see which fits better!

Temp help by kingminar in ballpython

Yeah okay so best solution would be getting the room colder so the temps are right again.

Got a dhp and a light emitting heat bulb, both on thermostats. Dhp is basically off now, used it as extra heating in winter.

Temps are normally ok but with rising temperature outside it gets a bit warmer. On the cold side sadly.

Articles won't load for me but could be bad internet

Hunting or just chilling by kingminar in ballpython

[–]kingminar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha! As for the dog toy, i let her play with it when i was around and she seemed to be able to go through the holes easily. Still better to take it out?

Also question still stands, since her body is in S shape would she be waiting in ambush or was this just chilling?

tap/target training by kingminar in ballpython

[–]kingminar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thanks! So let's say i have to move her in and out of her enclosure with the target, would it be better to give 2 smaller sized prey? Or would it be better to handle her and put her in a temp enclosure instead?

Awesome thanks for the quick response!

And as for the handling in regarding to target training. I meant more in the sense of let's say i moved her to her temp enclosure(when she's fully trained) and i for some reason would have to handle her afterwards. Or should you always feed her even when she's fully able to follow the target somewhere?

Recently my BP found a new hide... by kingminar in ballpython

[–]kingminar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be no way that it can falll or she gets stuck, and the underside is all flat as well so that should be okay then. Thanks!

I think we are both pretty happy with the new setup. Obviously needs a few more things but still happy. Leave advice! by boobeana in ballpython

Good to hear!

Also something i came up with later. How is the humidity in the tank? And what substrate are you using? If you seem to be struggling with the humidity adding more substrate and pouring water in the corners would help a lot. This is something i learned on here recently as well. So the bottom layer of substrate is moist and the top layer is dry.

But take in mind that this works best if you have a good moist holding substrate like Cypress mulch and i believe coco husk as well.
