I didn’t even think to add leaf litter for humidity purposes. I use it only for my bioactive gecko tanks. I haven’t done bio active snake tanks because of how robust they are with plants. But this was an amazing tutorial and will be giving this a shot. I should’ve been using reptisoil these coconut husk substrates do dry out and idk why people praise them. Thank you!!

Yeah leaf litter is amazing plus it really makes the tank look good. My snakes haven’t really messed up the pothos since it’s so resilient that’s why it’s my fav. Yes! I don’t know why everyone loves coco substrates. I tried them many times in the past and they just do not work well.

Great information, and I appreciate how you don't overcomplicate matters. I'm preparing a bioactive 20g long tank for a baby Children's Python. I've read varying reports of their native habitat, and it appears that most likely they hail from dryer, hotter locales. Would you adjust this mix slightly to accommodate a drier environment? That being said, I'm wondering if this mixture could be perfect since we are located in Southern Arizona, and our home is quite dry. I think I'm foregoing the drainage level. I am utilizing some cuttings from my own personal plants but will keep the plant growth to a minimum rather than being overrun by greenery. Thanks in advance!

I have a question I am aware that ball pythons need humidity however, wouldn’t that cause mold/ fungus ? I’m genuinely confused here. If it does cause mold/ fungus, how can one prevent that ? As you can see I’m new to this, I want a snake eventually but I probably won’t get one for a while until I figure out what I need to be able to give them a good/ healthy as possible home :)

I’m getting a ball python soon and this video really did help me! I just had a quick question though… at 22:33 you mentioned that you should set the temperature at what it is when it hits 95 degrees. But how does the lamp know to turn off? and once it turns off, does it turn back on by itself again when the temp decreases? does the thermostat plug into the heat lamp?
@DiegoTorres095
@DiegoTorres095 Күн бұрын
Oh and one more thing! You showed how to control the heat in the video but how do you control the cool side of the tank? and what temperature should that be?
@ChiefSweetsUniverse
@ChiefSweetsUniverse 17 сағат бұрын
Happy to help! So the thermostat you set and it’ll have a probe you place inside once temp reaches set temp it turns the lamp off. Cool side can be 72f to low 80s.

Could you theoretically put your snake next to or in front of a window for them to get some sunlight? Im planning on getting a ball python in the future, and I feel like my window is a nice spot and they would get a nice view but idk if that would be good for the snake. Any suggestions?
@ChiefSweetsUniverse
@ChiefSweetsUniverse 16 сағат бұрын
You have to be careful as the sun coming through a window sometimes acts like a magnifying glass and can heat up the glass tanks super hot like an oven. But also the sun would provide uvb but glass windows block most uvb by 99% so a window would only help with extra light.

What’s a budget option for reptisoil trying to help my sister in law set hers up while trying to keep her spending to a minimum due to her parents not wanting to spend too much so they probably wouldn’t appreciate us buying 30 dollars worth of dirt I will be helping along the way to make sure the snake is well taken care of as it is a rescue just trying to find other options

Top soil and play sand Home Depot. Make sure top soil is manure and fertilizer free. Cost like $10. Do the whole bag of top soil and 1 gallon of sand and you’ll have a great mix

Oh yeah you can definitely keep some lizards in this style. You could add the sand into the reptisoil make the water dish smaller a leopard gecko would do totally fine in this. They aren’t as arid as most people think. Pac-Man frog would work as well. Lots of skinks would like this as well. Thank you so much for the kind words
