thought it best to not say what I would like to say about this setup situation ..............as it is OBVIOUS what the next thread will be about!!!! all I will say is "GIRL WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEEEEEE ....."
He's got a lid, its cardboard but not great, i make sure there are no gaps and put a towel over the top when i go to bed and he still seems to find a way to sneak out :/
Sounds like you don't even have a thermostat? You clearly have bought a snake without doing an ounce of research or preparation.. If you don't have the right tank or knowledge to keep a snake DON'T buy one until you do! This drives me crazy, and it seems so common. How hard is it to google snake care and realise you need a big tank with a thermostat and a heat gradient? Have you even tested the temps in the "cool" and "hot" end? To me the tank looks too small to even HAVE a cool or hot end.
Do your research.
sounds too easy duznt it , poor snake .if u can afford a diamond python, u can afford a decent tank. go to bunnings, get a few sheets of mdf and some nails and make a box. while ur there pick up a small padlock so u can LOCK the lid so it cant escape. tell them u want a box 4ft x 2ft x2ft n they will cut the mdf into the right sizes for you, all u have to do it knock it together. y would u go n get a snake without first having the correct viv set up? its not like a puppy. maybe giv it to someone with the correct housing until u can afford to get it set up properly, its prob stressed coz it cant get cool in its tank. its just cruel really.
you turn the heat off when the air gets too warm? im sorry im confused with this. Jasper should only be getting 8 or so hours (less even) a day of heat (you need a thermostat too) at around 27-30 at the hot end and the cool end ideally should be 24 or less. as cool as it can get is best. and deff a bigger enclosure with a lid but you have already mentioned you're working on that. more hides as well. not entirely sure where the tank is placed, but because he is in a glass enclosure it would be best not to put him infront of a window as it can intensly heat the enclosure. hope this helps
