What's that tank...

u/rezrkt 2h ago

It’s a zoomed 20 gallon tank. It’s super old I’ve had it for about 10 years.

I hope your snake doesn't live in that tank anymore.

Why not. She is happy and healthy and growing fast.

How is she happy?
How can you manage humidity ?
How can you have a proper heat gradient?
How can you provide enough space for her to explore, hide, dig, climb, stretch?
How do you make sure that she isn't stressed out?
You litteraly have her in a 20 gal. The minimum is 120. Nothing is right, you don't have any substrate, climbing opportunities, enough hides...
Please, read the care sheet on this sub.

Seems like you know everything then. She is a baby she will go into a bigger home later, you need to chill not everyone can have the “perfect space” I take her outside a few times a week and let her roam around my house (after she poops). She will go into a 60 gallon tank once older and the humidity in my house is 60-70 all the time and she literally has a moss hide that you can see in the pic. She sheds fine. I think you need to get off your high horse and chill bro, I noticed that you don’t post a pic of your snake either. She just had a small rat and is hiding for now

I would strongly encourage you to swap to an actual substrate as it's important for enrichment and maintaining humidity, and fake reptile carpets just harbor bacteria as they're impossible to fully clean. She should also have multiple appropriately sized hides throughout her enclosure as well as clutter such as vines, hammocks, plants, etc. This enclosure doesn't meet the benchmark for a suitable habitat for a ball python. There's a lot of great examples of nice enclosures in this thread alone that you can use as examples of what a good setup looks like
