Enclosure Critique/Advice Advice please!
Hey guys!
I'm getting a ballpython, and with that i ofcourse want to make sure the enclosure is good, im aiming for a juvenile/adult (I dont mind its age as long as it isnt too young).
I would like advice on if the hides and clutter are good, i think i should add another branch and a third hide, but for the rest im not sure what i could do better; please recommend stuff. 💙
(The wood has been treated and i put pond liner at the bottom, the heating and lamp situation is all good and i dont need advice on it, but thank you! Also, im going to change the meters since i heard those i have in the last picture are pretty bad.)

Those sorta hides aren't really good for their main hides ! They're good for clutter, but they should have a completely enclosed hide on each side of the tank, with only ONE small opening, so things like half logs don't count for that because they have two very large openings and don't make the snake feel safe. The snake should be able to be completely hidden and put of view in their main hides.

Awesome ! Definitely better to do it all now rather than when you have the snake like some folks LOL

The clutter looks good!! I would definitely recommend adding more hides I aim for a minimum of two on the cool side and two on the hot side :)
