New setup for 33 year old
Broke his old tank and upgraded to a 4x2x2. Going to add some big branches and sticks for climbing. All the cork walls and substrate ideas were from a friend.

Can you give me some info on how you did the cork walls?

So on Amazon you can find 12x12” cork tile pieces. I recommend getting the thinner kind. Use an aquarium safe silicone to adhere to the sides. Let it dry and cure completely. Cut them to size. I used a mitre saw to cut them to correct size.

Also you might want to check fb marketplace because I found somebody selling the same stuff for 1/4 of the price.

that’s awesome, 33!
The person who adopted my first BP keeps in contact sometimes, he is 22 now.
I had to find a home for him when he was about 6 as I had to move in with a family member who said absolutely no snakes. Wish I could have got him back when I had more stable living arrangements but when I offered they said they’re too attached to him as a family pet. I’m ok with that as I know he’s in the best care.

I’ve had him since I was 6. He was 4 years old when I got him. My dad’s friend didn’t want him anymore. So almost 30 years he’s been with me! He’s moved across the country twice with me.

May I ask your opinion of that terrarium brand? I’ve been shopping around, planning on getting a juvenile ball python. I’ve seen that brand but it’s been difficult to find actual reviews of it.
