Looks Great. Just a quick tip, you dont need the heat probe in the vivarium. attach to the bottom of the heat mat, adjust temperature til you get desired temp in the vivarium. This takes the risk of the snake moving the probe away.
I love it!!! One thing I would recommend is to add a drainage layer with clay balls, then some sort of lining on top of it, and then the substrate, so then there is room for more bacteria to grow while also getting proper drainage from the water from the plants and substrate and stuff. Snake Discovery has a great video talking all about it! By the way your bamboo is so cute!
Aslong as you do not overwater a drainage layer isnt needed. Its really only needed in a terrarium with a pond or frog terrariums that constantly need misted. In a ball pythons case u can just have a bedding layer with charcoal or lava rocks and then put substrate ontop. Its good to mix in some leaves, moss, ground up bits of bark into the soil to help create good bacteria and air pockets. Really though past that soil rot wouldnt occur unless you are over watering.
Wow great job!! It looks amazing 🤩 i wish more people gave their snakes cages like this!! Sick of looking at clean tubs with a water bowl... and I bet the snakes are to!
Really beautiful tropical vibe! So how is it going with Luna now? Curious about the particular plants you used; did they work out in combination with the giant crusher? :D Loving the liveliness of bioactive terrariums btw, will switch soon.
Nah, I fucking love it No need for anything else but I think you should do the same thing you did to the background, on the sides of the tank That’s what I did to my boa tank
isopods and springtails do that. You just have to spot clean the larger chunks. If you're doing daily water changes...and you should, it isn't a problem. :)
My wife is also into plants as a hobby, so upkeep is no big deal for her. Other than the snake crushing a few plants, it's great. Theresa lot of enrichment with exploring the plants and watching the isopods. Also, humidity is easier to maintain with the mini pots of soil
@@karenjones8649 yup,that's the whole point of a bioactive enclosure, for it to be self sustaining and there to be no need for stuff like changing out substrate and etc
Well a ball python came from dry places But over all I think it cool and make sure the bottom of the tank is NOT wet because that can cause it’s scales to rot of
We do a good job keeping her habitat secure. When we take her out, we keep a very close on on her. They've been curious about each other, but haven't observed a food response.
Cats are also entirely too large for a ball python to eat. I would be more worried that the cat would somehow get into the enclosure and harm the snake.
