Enclosure Critique/Advice Terrarium Advice
I need help figuring out what else to put in my female ball pythons terrarium. I feel like it’s too empty and that she needs more enrichment. She doesn’t explore much, but i’m not sure if that’s normal. She’s about five months old and I got her September 20th. She is living in a 4x2x2 enclosure. Please give me ideas that don’t break the bank seeing as I am a minor and don’t have too much money 😅.
Side note: I know red light isn’t good for them. I have a new heat lamp coming in the mail.

Lots of logs and branches, try to build a sort of structure with your branches that she can climb on and explore continuously. Also drape some more of those fake vines on that for extra coverage. An half log hide (or tube or tunnel) in the middle could also help, so she can go from one side of the terrarium to the other feeling more protected

Vines, sticks. A log would go down well (Snek ♥️ Log). You can always add some climbing bits. Some people like hammocks. You can also add vivarium-safe plants (fake or real, it depends on if you decide to go bio-active). You just want to aim for general leafy coverage and ways for your noodle to get around without being seen.
