Hey Zen Friends! It's time to give our ball python, Chip, a MASSIVE enclosure upgrade! From concept to reality, Kasey, our Animal Care Manager, walks you through her entire process of putting this enclosure together!
With this snake enclosure upgrade, we really wanted to give Chip more room to climb and roam around in. Besides all the new decor, we also wanted to make sure he had plenty of hiding spots as well, so we gave him TWO Zen Caves!
Watch the whole video to see how it all comes together! What's your favorite part of this snake enclosure upgrade? What would you add to your snake setup? Let us know!

I'm always glad to see any reptile owner willing to go all-out to make a wonderful home for their snake/lizard/tortoise/etc. Too often I see them cramped in a tiny tank with a bulb and little else. They don't communicate to us like a dog would, which is why I think this happens-- maybe people assume they're just like fish or something. Good on you 👍

Thank you so much for this video! I've been planning on this exact enclosure (it's currently in it's box waiting on me) to do a multi-level home for my ball python. I had been worried about how well the enclosure would do with attaching shelves to the walls-but when the make of your enclosure does the exact thing you were wondering about... Well my worries are gone.

What light did you use for heating that big of an enclosure?

@maggielovitt6447 5 ай бұрын

I absolutely love this set up!! But where did you put the heat source ? Is this a bioactive set up? If not how do you go about cleaning and sanitizing? This video was great but something more in depth would be amazing!!

@zenhabitats 5 ай бұрын

We use overhead lighting for his main heat source. The heat gradient in this enclosure is more of a vertical one as opposed to a horizontal one and it works really well for him. It is a bioactive enclosure, we used isopods and springtails.

Such a great build! I love everything about this…wanna come to my place and build this 😂 Seriously though do you sell the pieces for the shelving?

@zenhabitats 2 жыл бұрын

We actually just picked up the brackets from a hardware store (10in shelving brackets) the shelves themselves were made from PVC sheets. Hope this helps! 💚

@Brokenspiness 7 ай бұрын

The planning part of this video is so cool, the graphics to show exactly what you are planning to do! I am considering a 4x2x4 for my ball python, am curious about shelves and how to ensure the enclosure stays warm 4 feet below the heat source that is at secured to the top of the enclosure. hmmm... although he can stay warm on the shelves and enjoy a gradient in heat.

@zenhabitats 7 ай бұрын

Thats basically how we looked at it. The heat is a vertical gradient as well as horizontal. Chip loves to climb and we will find him using both his warmer basking cave or the lower cool cave. It gives him lots of options!

@killeendolan7095 6 ай бұрын

How is Chip doing with his new setup? And how does he stay warm enough at night? Is there a secret UTH somewhere? Hard to describe, but I’m thinking of putting one in between two thick enough layers and making that a shelf somewhere.

@zenhabitats 6 ай бұрын

@@killeendolan7095 Chip has been doing amazingly in this setup. In our reptile room it is usually kept fairly warm so we don’t need supplemental heat at night for him. You could utilize UTH on a shelf, just be sure the shelf is PVC to avoid any fire risk. You’ll also want to keep it on a thermostat to avoid it getting too hot and causing burns. You could also use a deep heat projector as an alternative to supplement heat at night should you need.

How long did the build take overall? Would love to do this for my royal python x 😊

@zenhabitats 5 ай бұрын

I took a few breaks but total I would say probably a 4-5 days. Just because I wanted to make sure the spray foam was fully cured before carving it. But it was pretty easy otherwise.

@Scabbydabbytickle Жыл бұрын

Any tips on how you would keep the humidity up if the room is around 52% by itself, I just mist my current tank..Do the same??

@zenhabitats Жыл бұрын

If your room is staying at relative humidity (~50%) you will want your enclosure to be about 60-80% during the day and 80-100% at night for a ball python. We would achieve this by misting at night and potentially one more time during the day if it gets too dry! 💚

@GoodLifeFilmz 3 ай бұрын

Do you have heat pads in the hot spots?

@zenhabitats 3 ай бұрын

No, he has Zen Caves which have slate tops to give him some nice Bally heat if he wants it. The temps keep really well and we haven’t needed to supplement any other heating options.

@kellireich6146 5 ай бұрын

Did you use fake moss to cover the shelf brackets?

It was dried preserved moss.

Yes!! Even though they are terrestrial snakes, they could benefit from a variety of places to climb. Our 4’x2’x4’ Enclosure would be perfect for them! 💚
