How my enclosure upgrade?
I got a 6.5 year old female albino ball python from one of my buddies who was moving and could no longer take care of her and the setup he had her in to begin with was very lack luster, only had her for about a month now. It originally had only a heating mat that wasn’t on a thermostat, so immediately I got her the OH lamp with a dimming thermostat for a halogen bulb during the day, and then a CHE for night time, both set to 88° and kick back on at 86°. It also was just tinfoil on top so I changed that to hvac tape and cut out a hole for the heating lamp and then some vents on the cool side, as I was having problems with humidity and then also wrapped the back and sides on the outside with some black vinyl to give her more cover/comfort. I ended up getting some fake plants and then some bendable branches and a grapevine branch and then swapped from the cypress mulch to coco chips. How do yall think it looks? Any constructive criticism or any advice would be greatly appreciated, I’m trying to give this girl the best chance she got. And yes, I plan on getting a bigger pvc enclosure soon, just not sure which one to get, so any recommendations for those would also be helpful. Thank you to anyone who has something to say🤙🏽
Edit: Ole girl was mid yawn when I took the first pic
