Here is my enclosure for my two ball pythons, untill my black throat comes! But anyway i am sick of seeing all these ball pythin setups that are only 10-20long gallon tanks, it looks stupid and cramped for the snakes. Anyway they were in a 40 breeder (yes, both) and they didn't move and hid all day long! So since i moved them into this they move around all the time and love it, even soak in their water tub.
I have a total of 5 heat lamps (3x150watt day lamps, 2x100 watt red night lamps)
anyway here are pictures of Medusa and Lucifer's home!
enjoy!

It's nice to see adequate room given to them.
You build it?

Why do you feed your snake live mice?

The cage looks good, I would probably seel the wood though, making it easyer to clean.

i don't feel like getting bit on accident by them, they are incredibly food responcive, almost like monitors. and they enjoy stalking and catching them...

It's not about their excitement towards the food. It's the risk of the prey hurting the snake. If you feed with tongs you won't get bit.

I dunno, i just don't feel like it. and i watch them feed, and watch for the mouse to see if it bites me snakes... if so i just move its head back from biting the snakes.


-might add one more ball to the mix... what do you think
