Ball Python Wood Enclosure Set Up | OSB Terrarium Assembly 

Wondering if this set up was any good? Check out the ✨UPDATE VIDEOS ✨ below! Update on the terrarium set up and the state of the OSB one year later: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vdwb71hjY5U.html Video on why I replaced the ceramic heat emitter with the deep heat projector: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p0sUmrYhdjs.html

It's so frickin cute that she returns to her enclosure on her own. You made her happy!! 😍😍😍😍

I love the video dope set up I build my 4 month old ball Python house out of a i entertainment stand I made him a big home so he can live in it forever

awesome video! i love seeing people actually give these animals the space and enrichment they need. thank you for promoting good husbandry practices! i bet your snake is very happy, too :)

I made it to the end. Great video!

that's a great video . Yes I watched to the end .I could probably be classed as a DIY pro since I do it for a living so it was funny watching you with that drill😅

Amazing video. This is the first video from you that I see. I will go see your channel next. With blood sacrifice, a beautiful pole dancer, enemy ceramic heat bulb (I have to look at that, I have one enemy too), it was a good watch. From what I read, many of us watched till the end.

I made it to the end . What a lovely new home for your pet snake 🐍

Watched from beginning to end! I've become exhausted with the normal reptile youtube channels for feeling very bloated and sort of "I have to own every snake I can to stay relevant", so your videos are a nice change of pace! I've downsized what I own quite a bit to focus on only two of my favorite pets (A boa constrictor and a woma python, both young) and worked on giving them more focus and effort into their enclosures and enrichment similar to the work you put into yours. I'm not gonna put the pressure on you to make you feel like youve gotta make more vids, but I enjoy the ones you have now!

Great job. Beautiful snake and great enclosure

I liked the video, humorous and interesting as well. Thank you 🙂

Looks great at the end! Little idea for a cheaper natural hide, use the plastic hide you have and cover it in expanding foam, then carve it into your desired shape and either cover it in tile grout for a stone finish, or use silicone to stick your substrate to the foam. I just experimented doing this myself and really enjoyed it!

Hesy danke für das video und liebe grüsse aus der Schweiz!

I made it to the end, of course! I love the idea of making my boy his new enclosure, and this helped to make it more doable. Thank you (and thanks for taking such good care of your noodle!)

I love your video!! Outstanding "job" and at the end a beautiful (nearly perfect) enclosure!! And from that moment on you handeld the drill machine, I have a crush on you..🥰

im gonna save this video bc ill get the same terrarium for my ball python baby boy and it was very interesting :)

yes that was alot of work .she gona love her new habitat t.love this

Bravo.....excellent video...thanQ.

80 cool side is what I've always used. A gradient of 80f cool side to 90f hot side.

Amazing!

This video taught me that living in an apartment sucks for yet another reason.

I absolutely watched till the end I wish they sold those kits in the us atleast I don't think they do but it is absolutely perfect u did an awesome job

of course i watched till the end :)))

Really cool video ( saw it till the end haha ) . good job for the diy build , we learn with mistakes on building hehe . we got at home a corn snake took from a family witch was bored of it ( i will never understand this kind of peoples ) and we made the enclosure ourselves , but for the upgrade we will go bigger and better for the confort of Kordulla , she's curious and love to climb . I might myself go for a surinam boa in the future, and i want to build the terra myself and try the expanding foam to get the background i want , let see how it will go. thank you for the content , it's refreshing to see something more close to reality !

avesome! you did a great job. I need a end terra for my corn snake and was a bit anxious because i didn't know how to assemble it but your video was a great help, my corny is just a little worm atm so his 100 x 50 x 50 cm terra should be enough for a while longer

Thank you

I made it 🙃. Great video love that you offer enough space! I hate that the recommended space requirements are so low. The double hide was a great idea.

great job I enjoyed watching you make her new home ! in the u.s. we have more options on light weight enclosures .which I plan to get..lol bobette.on the lamp lol she so beautiful n curious girl lol .wonder you don't use a heat mat ?

That was the palest looking coffee I believe I have ever seen. And Bosch really is everywhere in Europe, isn't it? Quite the interesting build and the chill nature of your python has me nearly re-evaluating my opinion of snakes in general. Doubt I will ever own one as I love my tiny geckos, but I think I might try to view them in a bit better light. I think a nice coat or three coats of paint on the interior would have been been nice, but still a very nice build.

Love!

I love this video! Just stumbled upon your channel, and your ball python videos are truly great! I live in Europe myself and are doing my research before getting my first danger noodle, and I love seeing how you are giving your snake this amazing home 👏👏👏 This inspire me to make a similar home to my future snake. Do you spot clean your vivarium?

Loved the video!! Thanks , I was wondering with your double stack hides, is the humid hide a cooler temp? I was always told to have 1 hide either side of the tank. Love your idea, I want to try it.

You should do the whole terrarium with the sealer. Ball pythons need humility to shed. I heard they advise to use epoxy to seal the terrarium. I hope the terrarium will go a long way. I bought one from someone and later I nodes it was moldy and the wood was expending. So it was no good anymore. I build my terrariums myself now so I know they are good and will have a long lifetime.

Man I'm a first time snake owner to be in belgium and finding supplies is just so difficult. I have the same enclosure for a ball python. I've been looking up stuff for over two years and finally made the decision to just start buying stuff and begin to build. I don't have the snake yet because I'm very unsure about how I'm going to heat the place. I wanna use a heat mat and a heatmat only. However the base of the enclosure is so thick, I'm going to have to put the heatmat inside. But I don't trust it under the substrate. I think it's going to catch on fire. What do you think?

I've made some experiments on my side to try to seal OSB2 boards; I've tried putting water on: - raw OSB2 => water still not absorbed in 4 different places after about 45 hours - with 2 coats of V33 varnish (raquires sanding at first, and small sanding between coats) => water absorbed after 30 hours in 4 places - with same product as you chose, with single initial sanding => same result as v33 varnish Asked my father who's a carpentry teacher, he basically told me that the only way to seal wood, in a significant manner is to use things like epoxy, liquid rubber, silicon, or marine grade sealers in ~10 coats or so... He told me than in my case, the results are probably reversed because sanding down the OSB removed the oils or glue reminders at the surface of the OSB, which made it less water resistant than the surfaces that I didn't coat... But it's still probably worth to varnish because it'll probably be better that way after those oils slowly fade away if it stays raw. I decided I would just try out the V33 varnish, and apply 4 coats minimum, as it is far less toxic than the other product, and also cheaper... Will see how it goes on long run, otherwise, I think I will replace with OSB4 boards and liquid rubber if it doesn't last on my next terrariums ! Please make follow up video to check how the wood evolves on your side ! Really hard to find quality feedback on that when researching... Thanks :) PS: About your plug "adapters", it's not horrible, but it can make overheating/fires easier... I wouldn't worry about it too much tho, since you probably do not have too much power consumption with those appliances ^^' If you care about it, or just for practicality, you can try swapping the plugs, it's not too hard and costs less than the adapters if you have to redo it some other times !

I like the setup, but I think I would be a bit nervous having the heat source too close to the side of the OSB. Seems like it’s working out ok for you though, I like how you said sometimes your snake goes back into the enclosure by it’s self. I think that’s a big success!

I've found some aquarium silicone, but in the description it says it's good for glass, metals etc, does that mean it doesn't work on wood?

I made it to the end lol

I did

Where did you buy the cork?:)

Heyy, one quick question!! I just got mine osb terrarium and I'm wondering about the heat...which heat lamp would be the best? and what about heating matt?

Just FYI, you might get issues from the humidity if you don't seal the whole thing (just make sure it doesn't contain fungicides 😅). OSB is kind of like a sponge 😅 What you can do also is to smear some silicone on those plastic hides and press substrates onto it quickly to make it look alot better 🥰

What did you do with the old enclosure? I’m sure you could get a new baby now

Hello there, I'm interested in purchasing one for my male boa but the height is 50cm, which is 1,5cm bigger than my available space :( is there any chance that they could adjust that? Also how much was the shipping cost? I'm from Greece 🇬🇷

Lmfao not me finding these terrariums beautiful I felt offended 😅.. l like the natural look .. or maybe with a color painted

The fact that your only down side was that it’s ugly made me laugh so hard I hope you don’t start reading this comment and be like 🤨 cause when I told you I LAUGHED 🤣😭 mama can’t you just paint it asking for both of us cause I’m getting on as well 🥲🥲
