i agree with you on the fact that optimum humidity and temperature is more important then looks and crazy shit but i would like both and thats what im aiming for with my ball python i saved 500$ to make sure i keep her healthy and happy ya know?
Great video. And also just to add to what you were saying, the prettier enclosures usually don't hold great temps and humidity like the tubs do. They may be less attractive but they almost guarentee perfect sheds. I just switched to tubs and i love it
Take a hacksaw to those tubes, and you can cut them down to make them more snug with the tubs, then add another plastic rack on top of it. Mine holds 9 levels, same concept. :)
okay i used to have a ball python in a 16qt tub but the humidity was way to high all the time even with a lot of holes drilled in it. and i moved her to a tank and the humidity is perfect now. i plan on getting a few more snakes and i need a rack cuz tanks take up alot of space. i plan on making one and my only problem is the humidity. i live in california and the humidity is like 50-60% but in the tubs its much higher. would this be okay for a ball python?
Your right. They dont need fake decorations and all that garbage. My snake does though :) thats because i only have one. Once i get more snakes im gonna build a rack.
most boas change color darker/lighter depending on the heat, ie.. at night when it's cooler they will change color :D known issue in the display world for shows etc... if you want them to look the best put a little heat under the display's so they'll look better, learned from a boaphile video :D.
just a quick question for anyone who can answer does the thermostat controle all 3 of the heat pads or would u need a thermostat for each pad plz reply as i am thinking about doing a rack and tryin to get some info befor i start thanks.
where did you get the tubs from???? i dont really like know everything i have my ball python in a glass cage and heating lamp.. and how do you make him eat while he is in shedding
those guys are in good hands. don't let anyone tell you what to do about the way it looks like you said as long as they are kept correctly. Where are you going to put the boas when they get bigger?
dude wtf my salmon an common change color my salmon in mornins shes like a blackesh color an at night shes orange an my comon gets a reel dark grey an at nite he gets like a whitesh grey idky they do that
all colombian boas change colours, mine did and at first i thought the same thing as you did, i thought mine was the only one that did that and it was special or something ahaha
holy crap!..lol..my boa does the exact same thing!..ill take him out in the morning and he will be dark as hell ..then in the afternoon..lite as hell!..hahaha..i though mine were just weird..lol

I built my rack the same way, only I cut the tubes of the rack with a hacksaw to make it them smaller, so the tubs fit snuggly.
