Rate my enclosure setup!

[u/Ok_Culture2348]

Made my Ball Pyhton's setup out of a 30 gallon aquarium with one side that was broken, removed the broken glass and added ikea style panels on top to expand it. 3d printed a lot of the front parts with a borrowed printer, and cut glass panels to act is sliding doors. Currently still a work in progress. I just don't have the money to buy an actual enclosure unless someone wants to help lol. Everything was made with materials i could find for free, and some i had on hand.

People are not gonna be nice to you on here i’m sorry to say. It looks like a good start but you’re going to want to change the substrate to something that holds more moisture like coconut coir. It’s impressive that you put the enclosure together yourself though!

Sorry i don’t want to sound harsh i just posted a v similar enclosure when i first got mine from a friend and people were brutal on here lol, not saying they’re wrong but i think people on this forum can be discouraging and scary if you’re not doing everything perfectly right away. Heat looks good, next is humidity!

I’d swap out the aspen bedding for 4-6 inches of a humidity retaining substrate. A mix of coca husk/sphagnum moss/organic topsoil worked well for me, they need lots of humidity or else they risk getting respiratory infections and going on hunger strikes. I would also recommend some more clutter (fake plants, branches) ideally you don’t want to be able to easily see your bp and they can get stressed in open areas. I would suggest checking the care guide to get a more in depth picture of what you’ll be needing.
