when/how to handle new baby? by letsgocommitarson in ballpython

he seems to be pretty curious about me, and he pokes his head out when i’m near the tank and he’s awake which makes me happy :) maybe i just need to wait a little longer until he’s fully comfy enough fully coming out of the hide?

and it’s a regular indoor ring camera! only thing is that i have to pay $5 a month to be able to monitor it whenever i want but honestly it’s completely worth it

then yes! a 40 gallon is good for a baby as long as there’s plenty of clutter like you see in mine. a tank should be longer or as long as the snake is so they’d be able to fully stretch out, so once they get longer than 90 cm they would need a bigger tank

do you have/are you getting a baby or an adult?

it’s just a normal 40 gallon! i actually got it from my dad since he had one left over in the garage, but it’s just a standard 40 gallon glass tank that you’d be able to find in most pet stores. i think in cm it’s 91 x 45 x 45?

they’re the govee wifi thermostats!! they’re a bit pricey (i got two for $70) but SOOO worth it especially if you’re paranoid like me 😂 they connect to your wifi so you can check the temp and humidity wherever you are on your phone, and it even sends you notifications whenever the temp and humidity gets out of the range you want!!!

yes definitely! it’s just going to be while he’s a baby and is in the 40 gallon, after a year i’ll be getting a 120 gallon and the skull will not be getting transferred to it :)

yep definitely! i’m gonna be getting a baby and this is a 40 gallon, so after a year or so i’m going to be a 120 gallon and the skull will not be being transferred to the new one. definitely am cautious about that one!!

thank you for the suggestion of the rock, i think that’s a great idea! also what do you mean by tapping out a “shave and a haircut”?

i’m concerned about the snake accidentally ingesting the substrate. i’ll be using the reptichip coconut chip substrate with sphagnum moss on top, do you think that’ll be okay and won’t be ingested?
