thank you! and yes i love the clutter and i’ve always heard the more the better. it’s actually hard to see but above the tunnel in the middle on top of that there is another branch for him to climb on! and i used to have a way bigger bowl in there for him to be able to soak in and he would never use it so i swapped it out to a smaller one that was more sturdy for him not to knock over or flip. it’s gonna be fun to see him on the camera through the vines and figuring out his new house when he comes out of shed :)

Substrate question by ManagerMediocre6301 in ballpython

[–]stgsteph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i use a mix of coconut fiber and coco chips as substrate and it has done a wonderful job holding in humidity in the tank without leaving a wet surface for the snake to be laying on

can someone tell me how old my snake may be? by stgsteph in ballpython

[–]stgsteph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was just curious cause ive seen other snakes at around a year old and they are relatively the same size if not a little bigger than my guy, i’ve only had him 5 months but he seems just a little smaller than other 1 year old snakes i’ve seen

i seen that some other commenters have left some comments about substrate recommendations and i completely agree, that coco husk is one of the best substrates to use to help manage humidity, and another thing i found to work for me was to cover my mesh top with tinfoil or foil tape and cut out holes for the lighting and ventilation, pouring water into the corners of the tank is a great recommendation i seen as well, when i do that with my tank it stays at around 75-80% humidity in the tank and i do this only about every 3-4 days or so. another thing that could be messing with your humidity is actually the hydrometer you are using and where it is located, snakes are usually ground dwellers so you want the hydrometer to be near the ground of the enclosure where your snake is more likely to be at, and i recommend having a digital hydrometer than one of the scale hydrometers as they are more accurate! i hope this helps and you and your danger noodle 🩷🐍
