lol the t-rex foam hide
not to be an ass but I hated mine and gave it away (bought it for my kenyan sand boa)

I'm generally a huge fan of "natural" looking enclosures for my reptiles as well as decor for my fish tanks. But I'm starting to learn, with my Ball Pythons, it seems much more practical to abandon this approach.
Ball Pythons like to be "tucked inside" small creaves/hides. Ideally they would have a variety of hides of different temperatures and moisture ranges to choose from. This is rather simple to provide using tupperware like containers with holes cut in them placed in different locations, it's much more difficult to provide using natural looking items.
Although, despite my above opinion/experience, the set up you have looks like it is probably quite adequate for your snake. Assuming you have a range of temperature gradients in the tank.

Looking much better after remodeling,
I really like your enclosure, do you know what brand it is? Was it a fish tank before?
I'm also jealous of the brach piece you got in there, gorgeous..
Make sure you rip bigger holes in the foam hide, as I remember the passages weren't that big.. Also watch out for poop on the foam!

as for the tank, my brother adopted his rosy boa from his teacher and the tank came with it the branch was also my brother's the ball python loves to sit on the cradle like top next to the lamp, is poo on foam different than poo anywhere else (he just made a huge one on it)i pee in the sea;4802641; said:
Put some substrate all over the foam, it'll prevent a poo stain and make things easier to clean off.
