Finally got my basement remodel finished, including my "office" which amounts to a reptile/fish room that happens to have a computer desk.

Here are the progress pictures from the construction:

First 4' x 2' x 14" PVC by Boamaster. These are great enclosures, easy to assemble, hold humidty super well, could not recommend enough.

While having a beer on my porch between projects, I noticed a pretty large jumping spider on my patio table. Well I happened to have a 1.5g Hex tank that I got from free from a lady at work after her kid's betta kicked the bucket. I created a make shift terrarium and he became the first living occupant of the reptile/fish room.
Followed shortly after by Hazel, my (daughter's) Piebald Ball Python.

She did a once around and then went straight to the hide, typical BP.

Very nice setup and I've always liked jumping spiders,they remind me of tiny tarantulas.

Thanks, we've fed it a small moth and house spider and dropped a couple isopods in the enclosure as well, but the spider seems to ignore them.
EDIT: it ignores the isopods, it made quick work of the other spider and moth!
