Ball Python Care Guide

* Ball pythons can be kept in a tub or PVC enclosure (ideal) or a tank, if you choose to keep them in a tank here are the steps you need to follow in order to properly keep your companion
* No over head lighting of any kind. Lighting can cause stress to your animal and can have damaging effects on their eyes. Instead, use a ceramic heat emitter on a thermostat (these don’t give off any visible light)
* Use a heat mat, or heat tape on the bottom of the enclosure on a thermostat. A thermostat is needed and cannot be avoided at any cost. Choosing to not use a thermostat is putting your snakes life at risk. Attach the thermostat probe to the bottom of the heat mat on the outside of the cage with black duct tape (never inside the cage)
* Ball pythons are easily stressed and the open sides of a tank can make them feel unsafe, this is why if you have a tank its important to cover all three sides with a background or black construction paper.
* Its important to make sure the enclosure is cluttered to make them feel secure. You can do this by adding hides and fake foliage. Three hides is the recommend number (one on the hot side, cool side, and a humid hide)
* If using a tank, you need to cover the top of the screen with foil tape in order to keep humidity in.
* To achieve proper humidity you need to use a suitable substrate depending on your humidity. Reptichip is the most recommended substrate. If you need less humidity aspen or paper towel work well.
* To measure humidity properly you need a digital gauge, not a dial gauge as these are incredibly inaccurate and should never be used due to that fact and the adhesive on the back. Never use anything with adhesive in your snakes tank. The most recommended gauge is a brand called AcuRite, this will measure ambient temperatures and the humidity.
* Use a zoomed digital thermometer probe over the hotspot to properly monitor the temperature. You also need a temperature gun and should check daily to make sure the probe and your heat mat and thermostat are working properly.
* A ball pythons humidity should be 60% unless they are shedding. In that case raise the humidity but no more than 70%
* A ball pythons hotspot should be 90 degrees. The ambient temperature should be 78-86 degrees (78 being the colder side of the cage and 86 being the warmer side)
