I liked your comment about not having smoke around snakes. It damages their eyes! Also really important note that not a lot of people think about is this includes vape smoke! If you have a mod and vape indoors make sure you are not doing it around your snakes enclosure or anywhere near them. They can actually go blind from it.

Snakes have a protective scale over their eyes (called a spectacle) so a snakes eyes are never exposed to the air, but snakes do have a very simple respiratory system and smoke of any kind is very damaging for them to breathe.

Yeah Lydia is one of my favorites. I'm looking for her to drop eggs in the next month or two :-) I only have snakes but my neighbor has a dog that I sort of share with her. So I kind of have a dog also. I love all animals.

I drilled once 180 holes into a tub. Had to drill twice, first with a 2-3 mm drill followed by 5 mm. So I drilled 360 times into the tub. But that was not all! I did this with 8 tubs which was drilling 2,880 times. I am almost sure my neighbours were so happy 🙂 It is hard to buy really useful boxes in Europe. Most of the big tubs being sold from different vendors are too high to be used in a DIY snake rack. But the Swedish furniture company IKEA sells 55 l boxes (14.53 gallon) with lids that can be used well for adult ball pythons (SAMLA model). The underside is not smooth but very stable. The dimensions are: 79 cm x 57 cm x 18 cm (31" x 22.5" x 7") I was able to fit 8 of these boxes in a wardrobe without doors (also from IKEA). So I saved myself the sawing, measuring and screwing when building a rack. A bought a professional aluminium, modular snake rack with V70 tub about 2 years later. But the DIY rack was a very good start, I could buy more boxes, shelves and heating mats as I needed them. But it is really huge compared to my new rack which has room for 10 adult ball pythons.

Could you possibly do a video on different heat sources. I currently am running an UTH pad and a heat lamp. I have kept the temp perfect at 88-90 on hot side and 77-79 on cool side. I have a bit of difficulty with humidity as I currently have a glass enclosure and I have covered the screen top about 75%. I have to mist frequently and upgraded to coco chips to attempt to hold moisture. I have been researching different heat sources to possibly get rid of the lamp as my heated side frequently drops to 40% or below humidity even with frequent misting. My cool side usually stays 50-80%. I plan to upgrade to pvc enclosure as well in the future.

@GreenRoomPythons

Thats a great idea for a full video, but for your specific scenario: I'd cover the other 25% of the top and replace your lamp with a CHE or deep heat projector. With that setup, you should be able to control your humidity just by mixing water into the coco chips, with no need to mist. Good luck with it!

For everyone who needs it- The easiest way to cover a screen top is to buy a few plastic placemats from the dollar tree. They are easy to cut to size. It is even easy to cut a big round hole to put around the headlamp, which is what I have done. And it has never burnt the plastic at all, because I cut it around the dome.

Hi Bob, I'm so glad you posted this video. My 4 month old ball python was doing the same thing as Lydia, where he was always exploring during his waking hours (and in his hides when sleeping or resting), and whenever I opened the tub, he'd crawl onto my arm. I upgraded his tub to a larger enclosure, and now he spends all his time in his hides and rarely comes out. I'm not sure if that means he's more content (they say a hiding ball python is a happy ball python) or if he's intimidated by the space, or if it's just because he happens to be shedding now just after I moved him. He did take a meal in the new enclosure just fine. I realize this is an older video, but if you happen to see this and have any thoughts, I'd appreciate it. :)

Hey Bob, As always, great Video. I love your ability to make learning fun. I don’t know if you will see this comment since this is an older video and you might not check the comments in your less recent videos as much but I have a question. You mentioned that it is not a good idea to burn incense or light candles in rooms in which your snakes are. I rent a room in a house that was build in the 1890s (I am a university student living in the Netherlands), in which there is a lot of airflow since the walls of the house are not thick and the windows let a lot of air and wind through. I have my candles lit for maybe 3-4 hours a week. I never worried before about my candles being harmful to my snake. I don’t want to do anything that is bad for my little guy. Also, it would be great if you could include also giving measurements in centimetres, some of your audience, including me, might not know exactly what size something is in feet. Thank you:)

@GreenRoomPythons

Жыл бұрын

Yeah I always have to Google the conversion whenever I hear somebody talking in centimeters. I just don't know those conversions off the top of my head... Some people burn candles around their snakes and I think that long-term it could cause some health problems. I don't burn anything in the same room as my snakes. My guess is that if you're just burning a candle once in a while it's probably not going to affect them too much though. They just have very sensitive respiratory systems and any kind of smoke is bad for them to breathe

I am preparing to get a ball python I have a 4'2'2 pvc enclosure with a front opening glass sliding door, and am setting it up with quite a bit of space taken up with pothos, snake plant, and a few other small plants, wood and other clutter. I have multiple good hides and I have an arcadia uvb setup with a timer, heated with a heating pad on the bottom and a ceramic bulb above to regular the ambient temp both with individual thermostats and probes set up. I am just wondering before I finish the enclosure and contact a breeder what age ball python would be ok in this size enclosure, I was originally planning on getting a 6+ month old male but I just need an opinion from someone with experience first, I know that you can keep them in smaller tubs/terrariums just fine but would a juvenile python have problems in a larger environment despite good conditions, sufficient clutter/hides, and having a lot up the space utilized and taken up by sticks and plants. If you or anyone in the comments has any advice to give that would be great, it has been hard to find information on whether it's ok to house them in a larger enclosure or not because normally people keep them in tubs as juveniles and upgrade later as they have grown more. what age do you think would be best?

@GreenRoomPythons

Жыл бұрын

It's definitely okay to house them in a larger enclosure but every snake is an individual. My recommendation is to get a baby and see how they do. If they don't do well in that large enclosure you may have to move them to a small tub for a period of time, but they'll eventually be able to go into the larger enclosure. The problem with getting a 6-month-old from a breeder is you may end up with a snake who's lived the first 6 months of their life in a small tub and it might make it more difficult for them to adjust to the larger bioactive enclosure. Either way, it's going to depend on the individual snake so it's a bit of a roll of the dice.

Respiratory infections are either bacterial or viral. Those are the two causes. When conditions aren't ideal, that could cause the snake to be more susceptible to a virus or bacteria infection. If the humidity in your enclosure is too high combined with a dirty enclosure - that combo breeds bacteria, which causes respiratory infections.

Has plenty of hides.etc went to handle it and seems to want to strike more. It's in a low traffic area in my bedroom. So far it's only struck once as I walked by the tank. So not sure what's going on. Went from flighty hissy.etc to now strikes any time you try to handle it. I've tried going from behind but it turns quick and strikes. So not sure what's going on.

Hey Tony, sounds like you've got it set up nicely. Well done! It's just being a snake - that's what they do. Some will strike more than others but no matter how well you have it set up, they'll still have a natural fear of predators (humans), which will need to take time and work to overcome. I have a few videos on behavior and handeling that should help, but it's a process :-)

@@GreenRoomPythons so a 40 gallon is t to bad for a chocolate pewter ball python. I was thinking of a smaller tank again. But it seemed to crammed in the 10 gallon. And all I had available is a 40 gallon. I have 4 hides.etc right now budgets tight. My mortgage just got upped $65.00 a moth go figure esp with holidays.

@@GreenRoomPythons Update... So far he "Charlie" just stays in his one hide and pretty much refuses to come out. Esp since he can tuck/wedge himself up inside of it. Lol He hasn't came out 5 days. But I still do normal things changes his water out every 24 hours. Spot check for any clean ups. Figured atleast get him used to a routine. His temps are good on hot side and cool side. So again just going to give him his space and some time since he went from a 10 gallon to a 40 gallon. He's got 4 hides.etc but likes his log the best. See if he'll settle down and come out when he's ready. Went and got some welding gloves just incase. Time and patience with this guy.
