Battling heat and humidity challenges when housing a ball python in a glass enclosure. How I manage this issue while living in a very cold northern climate.

I'm in Canada too and just moved my guy to the same enclosure and I'm struggle with humidity. Thanks for this, so helpful!

Wow - lots of work to keep a glass enclosure in lovely Canada ........ Amazing Job 👍❗️ I would have liked too see your BP ✅. I have the exact tank an heat lamp set-up as you.... Really like what you did with the Digital Hygrometer / Temp. Gauges..... I will definitely take some tips from your set-up, I live in MN and the Winter Temps are BRUTAL here as well... Thanks for posting this very cool video..... I will show you mine when it’s done if you’d like 😁😉..... ( PS ) Cool Dogs ❗️

They were made by a guy in the USA using 3D. Unfortunately it was several years ago. I can't recall his name.

Make a humidity box and put it in the enclosure, i use it for my ball python and it works out greatt! Perfect shed everytime and hes a very happy snake! If you notice they use it too much remove it from time to time but its alot easier to do that then to keep it humid in the enclosure

I can hear by your voice how concerned you are. I'm really struggling too 😬

This was over a year ago and it wasn't va struggle after I got everything dialed in. Glass is always a challenge but it's doable. As of today I have one glass unit left, the rest are PVC. Thankfully the last glass will be gone shortly. :-)

I like glass…then covers it up in building insulation and towels :)

Because I live in a very cold winter climate. Makes heating and humidity easier for me.

What heat and humidity gouges are those? I found the brand but I'm not sure how you got them to hang with the suction cups so well

@raredog939 3 жыл бұрын

The ones in this video are ThermoPro units. The holders are made by Aurora 3D. You can find them on Facebook. I don't use ThermoPro units anymore. I use ZooMed duel temperature and humidity readers or the ones made by Reptile Basics. Far more accurate.

Go Canada! Tip: put a layer of towels (or anything else to insulate) under the cool side so cold air doesn't get under the tank. I suspect that's where you are losing much of the heat. My cool side would drop to 75 before the towel trick now it doesn't drop below 80. good luck

@raredog939 3 жыл бұрын

After what I did I don't lose heat at all. Because heat rises I found towels/blankets on the top cold side really helped as well. The humidity issues was act poor gauge's giving me inaccurate readings. I appreciate your comment. All ideas are helpful.

Hi - were did you pick up the Cora-last ? Thanks !

@raredog939 4 жыл бұрын

Got the coroplast at Michael's Craft's. Home Depot Sometimes sells it. You can also contact any company that makes coroplast signs. They would likely sell you a piece.

@ducatipete5404 4 жыл бұрын

Thank's for getting back ! I will definitely need that ..... I have the same tank you have and the top screen makes it almost impossible to hold humidity. I will definitely be making the trip to Menards or Michael's . Very Cool talking to you - I will get a video on my channel so you can see my snake . Would love to see yours - Take care and Thank's again ! Pete ;- )

Just get a humidifier machine, power it through your environmental control center,set it to the preferred humidity & BOOM, perfect humidity, without the stress.

@raredog939 Жыл бұрын

Not happening where I live. Humidity here in this winter climate is incredibly low 7 months a year. I tried and it didn't do a thing. Nothing is actually BOOM perfect for everyone unfortunately because everyone does not live in the same climate or frankly have the same parameters in the home. Believe me, I wish it was that easy. I run only PVC now, BOOM! 😂 Way easier!

Never use a humidifier for ball pythons. They don’t need THAT much humidity. Too much moisture in the enclosure can lead to scale rot and respiratory issues

@xexplosionsniperx479 Жыл бұрын

So you use a heat element and a heat mat ?

@raredog939 Жыл бұрын

No, I hear PVC with Radiant heat panels. Glass with CHE or a🙂DHP. And occasionally but not always, an UTH mat.

Or or you can turn the heat up in your hour.. seems like a lot less work.. I live in Canada too.. I have aquariums and reptiles and I never have to go this extensive..

@raredog939 3 жыл бұрын

I actually got it working perfectly. I was pretty happy. My snake room is like 85F all summer just about. Not sure I wanna turn it up. 😂 As a side note, I no longer have any glass. Everything is in PVC units now. So easy :-)

@@raredog939 what PVC enclosures did you go with? and how are you heating them?

Try living in Canada. -40C even when you're house in on max we see 70F at most indoors.
