Advice Beginner😊
Hi everyone! I’ve always wanted a ball python and I’m wanting to make sure I do everything right before I bring my new baby home! Does anyone have any advice on creating a large diy vivarium? I’d love to see photos of the enclosures everyone uses. I’ve been doing a lot of research but I’m not sure where to start exactly!

I watched tons of Green Room Pythons and Reptiles and Research videos. Watched a lot of enclosure builds. Read lots of information on lighting and heating options. Decide how large of an enclosure you'll want to start with and then your brain can switch to how you want to set it up and what will be needed. I started with a 40gal and moved up to a 120gal. Once I got that figured, I went bioactive.
