😄 glad you liked it!
I get my first ball python this Wednesday. I've done research for the last 2 years. So I'm ready and super excited
That's so exciting, congrats Danielle!!
How are you liking your snake?
@@TopFurret I love him ty for asking!! I had ALOT of anxiety at first thinking he was going to bite me. But he's never bit me or struck at me. Even my 4.5 year old daughter holds him.
How’s it going have they breed
@@strongtv_creator what do u mean
We are bringing home our first ball python hatchling this weekend and I’ve been going back and watching all your care videos. Thank you for so much knowledge! We are going tomorrow to get all of our tub items and get it set up so it’s ready. We actually weren’t planning to get one until we could afford a bigger tank and the more I watch you the more I realize it’s pointless to invest in a big tank until they are much bigger and well established. My daughter is so excited.
Aw that's great! Glad you're enjoying the videos. Congrats on your new snake!
Hey Samantha, how is your python coming along? How is snake ownership going?
I just bought my first BP in 20 years. This guy is awesome. You can tell he cares about the species
Thank you! And congrats on the new snake!!
I'm a newbie about to get my snake in a few weeks, and the compliment meant for people just like me calmed A LOT of the nerves. Doing my hardcore research before her shelter gets here and before she gets here after that!
Yes, well done! That's the way to do it :-)
Thanks for the helpful video! I currently have 2 ball phytons that I’ve always kept in glass tanks but I struggle a lot to keep the humidity up so I’m gonna go the tub route. Im glad you don’t need to use a heat lamp
I've been trying to figure out a good way to secure the lid to the tub... didn't think to wrap it with straps! What a great idea, thank you!
You're welcome! It works well :-)
I don’t have the money or space for a snake right now. Until I am able to get one, I am planning and researching consistently. I have made multiple Google docs about the husbandry for the species I want (Plains Hognose), a printout for recording both feedings and cleanings, a printout to record temperature checks, a full instruction page for if someone else would need to care for my snake (obviously it’s just general, and I’d make changes as needed after actually getting the snake), etc. I plan on having all of my equipment at home, set up, and tested for at least a week before bringing home the snake. Probably will have replacements of different (most likely the essentials) pieces of equipment to be prepared for any potential issues. I want to be as thorough and educated as I can be, since I have to wait anyway.
It also helps to block off three of the four sides of the enclosure (everything but the front) so they don't feel as open to the rest of the room. Sometimes I even block half of the front so my snake can decide if he wants to stay hidden or be able to explore and look out (he's actually more likely to want to do that because he has an abnormally outgoing, confident and curious personality!)
Youve got a gorgeous assistant in this video
you don't understand how much this had helped me. all the information was very relevant and i got it in a very amusing way
Aw thanks Zen! I'm glad it helped you out :-)
Thanks for the video! We got our first BP today at a expo. 6 months old. We’ve got him in a tub with heat mat for now, we’ll upgrade to a pvc enclosure when he’s a little bigger.
That's fantastic, congrats on your new snake!

Aw thanks, I'm glad you like them!
Very good video, helped me out a bunch. I’m gonna be getting my first snake after my next pay check.
Thanks, I'm glad it helped out! Congrats on getting your 1st snake, that's exciting!
Love the water bowl section of this video! ❤ smartest and most knowledgeable information that everyone says other wise, they always say to get one big enough for them to soak and after having my white wedding ball python for over 6 years now, i noticed she doesnt ever soak but as she got bigger, i got a bigger water dish to accommodate that myth and i ran into the problem of cages not being big enough to house a large water bowl comfortably in my bioactive setup! I was thinking to myself, does she really need one this big? So i began a search and finally came across this and it confirmed my thoughts! Thank you for making this video!!
I love your videos?? I've watched so many channels by now and you cover practically everything I've learned in one video + new info too! That's incredible, great work, and by the way your intro is actually pretty relaxing and so well animated which is an achievement in itself hahaha
Thanks so much Dani! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. That intro is due for a re-edit but my banjo song with remain. Glad you like it ;-)
Thanks for the kind words!
🐍Reptile zookeeper here: I would encourage providing much more space and using at least 2 hides for security, as well as (as you mentioned) filling the enclosure with lots of fake plants as needed (rocks, sticks (safely pest-treated of course)) to give that sense of security, but also the option to move and explore. Males especially really appreciate being able to climb, as that's part of the process of searching for a mate in the wild. I'm not comfortable with restricting movement and the ability for the animal to at least choose where they want to be. I think they should be able to lift their head up at least 15", as they would do this naturally to "scout ". It's really important not to assume what animals like, and instead go off of their behavior when given choices. Some snakes are shy and do hide more, but even they will pace and explore at times and need to be able to have that exercise to maintain a healthy body condition. We also know now (see Dav Kaufman's Ball Pythons In The Wild movie) that Ball Pythons do move around a lot and don't stay underground in termite mounds all day, and come out to find water, hunt and find mates. Some even climb trees. The more you give your animals, the more they will exhibit "new" behaviors. 🙂
I’m so excited I’m getting my first baby ball python in about a week a little enchi Russo male. This video is perfect. Thank you!
Getting a baby ball soon! Going to start in a tub about 1/2 the size you used.
I'm really excited and cant decide between a cool morph or a wild type!
I like the camera guy
Ps great beard!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked all that stuff :-)
Best of luck with your new snake!
Loved your video man, all around great content. The humor and knowledge together rocked brother
Thanks Tony! I appreciate that :-)
buying my first bp on Sunday at a reptile event. I'm in an apartment(i h8 pet policies and fees!!) and i did get a 20gall terrarium(it was a sale) but i wanna start on a tub... im here to learn what i can put in it. i plan on getting all accessories i need while at the reptile show!!!
Every breeder I see uses mats for heating on plastic tubs but instructions on the mats says not to use on plastic. I’m not saying you’re wrong, just trying to research since I’m thinking of breeding and going on plastic tubs myself.
Thank you in advance and really appreciate your videos!
The standard way that breeders keep ball pythons is in racks with plastic tubs and heat tape which is basically a heat mat that goes all through the rack. Thousands of snakes are kept this way. Generally when you buy a heat mat it does say not to use it with plastic but that's the way we heat tubs. Overhead heat doesn't work with a standard tub so you have to use heat from underneath. An unregulated heat mat will melt a tub and also kill your snake. Regardless of the type of enclosure, you have to use a thermostat. A heat mat that's regulated with a thermostat will not get nearly high enough to melt plastic - It's just warming the surface to around 90°.
@@GreenRoomPythons but doesn’t the thermometer only read above the plastic? How do you regulate the tub itself where the snake goes? Also, do you suggest a certain brand of tubs to use?
I really appreciate you explaining all this sir. Just for a noob like me with so many questions before I start breeding.
@@JayJitz You're going to need a temperature gun to measure temps inside the enclosure. Check out my most recent ball python care guide. It explains how to use a thermostat with a heat mat and how to set it up.
@@GreenRoomPythons thank you so much sir! Really appreciate your wisdom
Your audio has improved significantly 😄
I DID buy an analog hygrometer 🤦♀️ I never took the backing off the adhesive part but i can see how that could be a risk for my snake. I guess i thought a digital one would clash more with the natural look i'm going for. I'm going to order a digital one now. I didn't know there were blue tooth ones. I could easily put it in a spot that's not visible and monitor that from my phone. Thanks man!
Those are the ones to get!
Great video so many people just use a really small tub with no hides or anything.
Thanks! Yeah everyone has different setups
This video was so helpful! Thanks so much. Just wondering what else could u stick the heat mat to, to become reusable? I'm not dead set on the tub I have currently. I've seen people recommend aluminum foil.
Thanksss
You can just keep the sticky backing on the heat mat and set it under the enclosure. As long as there's contact with the tub it will keep it warm without having to be stuck to it.
Thank you for this super helpful video. I get my first ball python next week and have chosen to go with a tub until he's a bit bigger and I can get him a pvc enclosure.
Congrats on your new snake!
I like this guy! Hope you make it far man
Aw thanks! I appreciate that!!
Great info!! I’ve been keeping snakes for years and I 100% agree with everything you mentioned. Keep up those great videos 👌👌
Thanks so much Heidy! Glad you liked the video :-)
Thanks for the video! I've always used glass tanks, was curious about a tub setup for a new one. Great explanation, well thought-out, and engaging! Keep it up man

This is a GREAT VIDEO…I plan not to have more than 2 (pet) snakes. And will put them in these. I just recently purchased an ENCHI SPIDER 12/16/23
Nothing was mentioned about head wobble.

I went to a reptile expo recently and fell in love with a pastel lesser but i didnt gave an enclosure setup ready so i couldn't take her home, but im planning on going back next month and praying shes still there, but im planning on setting up a tub enclosure for her just until i can get a bigger pvc enclosure set up for her, i just want her home with me, so i hope this will be fine for her for a month or two just until i can get the pvc one set up
Love your videos. I am trying to put a tub together. My balls are in an aquarium as of now.
Glad you're enjoying the videos. Best of luck with the tub!
Loved this video you made it super interesting and informative at the same time, first time trying to make this set up thanks !
Aw good! I'm glad you liked it. Good luck on your new setup!
Hey Bob, I'm new to the hobby and found this video very helpful. I was wondering if you could do a video on power outages (for extended period of time) and also if a snake needed to be moved how to do that if it was long distance. Hurricane Laura is still fresh on my mind and I'm just thinking ahead.
Hi Greg! Glad you liked the video. That's a great idea to do an "emergency" video. I'll put that on the list. The short answer to the extended power outage question is, plan to have a backup generator... As for moving long-distance, there are a number of ways to do it - I'll go over that in the video. Thanks for the idea!
@@GreenRoomPythons awesome! btw i subscribed for ya!
@@gregms7661 aw thank you!
Looking to get a python this week! Thank you for the great video
Aw cool, glad you liked the video. Congrats on your new snake!
I have a few questions...1.) What about lights?? 2.) If using substrate, how to spot clean pee if you cant see it?? 3.) Are suction cup thermometer probes okay since they aren't an adhesive like tape or a chemical like glue??
You can also use suction cups to secure things on the inside of the enclosure instead of adhesive. They only really stick on glass enclosures though.
Thanks. I'm looking into buying a python from a breeder who accidentally acquired one with neurological issues that they don't want to breed so I'm doing as much research as I can before I get the boy
Thats fantastic! Neuro snakes make great pets and usually live long happy lives. Best of luck with it!
You're amazing really enjoyed this video!! Hi from South Africa!!
Hi Leané! Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Very useful video ! Well done ..Thank you for all these advices and good luck with your channel! :-)
Thanks so much! I'm glad you got something out if it :-)
I really love watching your videos they are so helpful in getting my boys enclosure set up! I’m having trouble heating the tub I have tho. With the paper towel on the bottom the paper towel shows it’s not as warm as the bottom of the tub. Do I want his paper towel at 90 with the heat gun or the plastic bottom of the tub at 90? I don’t want him too hot or cold
It will eventually heat thru the paper as he sits on it :-)
Bro your hilarious 😆 it’s awesome though keep it up man
Thanks so much, I appreciate the compliment!
I love all of your videos. Thanks for this one!
i glue the probe inside my tubs with a stick glue gun it safe non toxic and non sticky and easy to clean .Just don't use tape or toxic glue if you put the probe inside like i do !

I would definitely love to hear your opinion on different substrates and how they work for you and your environment.
You're in luck, I have a video on that :-)
This is very helpful, thank you! We just got a ball python a couple weeks ago and he is a juvenile. We have him in a 40 gal glass terrium because that is what we were told to get, so we wouldn't have to buy one later in the future. He does have 2 hides and a log to climb. Should we add more to it?
Hi Allanah! Congrats on your new snake! I always think its good to have some clutter in there like fake plants and such that your snake can hide around, but it sounds like you've got a pretty good setup :-)
LOVE the name Lucille
Aw thanks! Me too.
Love your Chanel thnx for the info 🐍
Thanks Alyssa! I appreciate that :-)
I think you would be a Badass Santa

Do you use a thermostat for every enclosure and what do you set it at where you see the best results? I have 2 enclosure for my 2 ball pythons, hasn't set up a thermostat and there doing great, of course I am constantly checking the Temps though. No stuck shed, feed every week, and going to the batbroomno issues.
Sorry i meant to say *bathroom no issues*
Hey Joseph, yes thermostats are a must for any heating element. I see badly burned snakes posted in different groups all the time because a heat mat wasn't on a thermostat. Those elements are just not good at keeping a steady heat and they can shoot up at any time... All my enclosures are at different settings. You have to experiment with what temp to set it at in order to get a heat gun reading of 90 on the tub surface.
@@GreenRoomPythons thank you for the advice I orderd 2 thermowich should be arriving today, to be honest with both my snakes I havnt used a heat mat only lamps with c.h.e bulbs and they seem to do fine, there very active at night and feed and everything else without any issues, of course I'm constantly monitoring the Temps. But hopefully with the thermostats I won't need to monitor them as offten. Thank you again.
ALSO. Great camera man, and Future Bob!
Thanks! Those two guys are okay I guess ;-)
@@GreenRoomPythons They're pretty great. Just sayin'!
I'm just learning and piecing things together for my first snake - for the Govee Indoor Hygrometer you mentioned, where do you put them in the tub? You said no adhesive in the enclosure so do you just leave them laying on the bottom of the tub? Does the snake knock them around but not mess with the readings?
Yep, I just set them in there. They're usually just fine sitting on top of the substrate in one of the front corners
Do you have any tips for keeping the cold side warm? My tub is getting warmed to 90 on the warm side from my heat mat but the cold side is too cold it sits around 68-73. I don’t have my python yet but I’m concerned that I won’t figure this out
You'll need to bump the ambient temp in the room or move the tub to a warmer room. I keep my room between 76-78 for my tubs
Awesome video! Can I ask where you got the tub from? I’ve been looking for a tub that size.
Thanks Emma! I'm sure I ordered it online. It would have either come from Amazon or Staples - I don't remember exactly :-)
enjoyed the video ! Hi future bob loving the hat ! lol
Thanks Clara!
Is there a heat pad that you recommend? I've never used one, so I'm totally clueless and I want to make sure I get the right equipment.
I wish I had watched this specific video about 1month ago 🥲🥲🥲
Well I'm glad you're here now :-)
Just purchased my first ball python... probably a little too quick and on a limb. I keep coming back to all your videos because they are so informative! Thank you! Quick question, my cool side stays around 77 degrees ambient temperature. When the winter months come and even right now I want to raise the ambient temperature in my tub! Any tips? The heat mat obviously won't do it. I was thinking a ceramic heat lamp with some modifications or moving the snake to a separate room in the house and buying a space heater for that room. Thanks again.
Glad you like the videos!
You're on the right track - a CHE should do it for you :-)
@@GreenRoomPythons Thanks for the reply! What is the easiest way to use a CHE with a tub?
@@connormeyerhoeffer8927 Aw shoot, I gave you bad advice! I didn't look at which video you were commenting on and just assumed you were using a glass enclosure... Don't use a CHE. With a tub, the best way to regulate the ambient temp is by bumping the room temperature. You could also have a lower set heat mat on the cool side. That will at least keep their belly at a higher temp which will spread to the rest of the snake's body.
@@GreenRoomPythons Thanks for the advice! Keep up the great work!
What size tub would you recommend? I have baby in a 35 litre but I don’t like the tub it’s in right now, it’ll probably be living in the tub for over a year.
Thanks,
Archie
Generally, the snake should not be longer than one side plus one end of the tub. Bigger is often times better depending on the personality of the snake.
Hello! What are your thoughts on ball pythons wanting to climb? All of mine are quite active for a few hours each night, and they all climb logs, etc. as soon as I add them.
I have a video called "Ball Pythons In Trees: are they semi-arboreal" that talks about exactly this :-)
@@GreenRoomPythons that's wonderful! We just found your channel, and we're excited to watch the rest of your videos! Thank you so much! ☺️🐍
@@velosianna708 welcome! Glad you're here :-)
@@GreenRoomPythons thank you!
What brand of container tub is this? This is just what im looking for.
Hey I know this video is a couple years old not sure if you'll respond to any new comments, but I have an really big Sterlite tub that I want to make into my Ball Python's enclosure, now I know that having something too small is bad, but is too big a huge deal? I was thinking about adding a few different hides as well as a few smoothe branches and what not to fill up some space, but I definitely don't wanna stress the snake
Also is Aspen snake bed good for Ball Pythons?
It's going to depend on the snake but in general if you put a small snake in a large enclosure they'll do fine as long as there is plenty of clutter and places to hide. If they don't eat for you that's a good sign they need a smaller enclosure until they become more confident. Aspen is good if you live in a tropical climate. For most people living in areas that don't have super high humidity, Aspen is too dry.
What type of heat mat did you use? I usually use zoomed’s heat mats with a thermostat, but I like that idea using the corrugated sign board and aluminum foil tape.
I have a bunch of different kinds. I'm sure I have a few Zoo-med. They all seem to work the same for me when they're on a thermostat
I see that you don’t stuck the May to the tub, and that actually looks better even for cleaning. My question is is it safe? Would it heat the same as if I stick it?
There may be a bit of an air gap so you'll just need to bump the temperature to compensate
This is great thank you :)
Thanks so much Alex! Glad you liked it
How would you control the humiduty in a setup like tht? Just spray the substrate?
Yep! Tubs are much easier to control humidity. Many people switch to them for that reason if they can't get a tank dialed in.
@@GreenRoomPythons awesome, thanks!
I inow this is a eandom question on this video but can i start to target train my snake with an orange target or does it have to be blue
Will a 32 litre (60cm by 40cm by 18cm roughly) storage box be alright till there about 2 foot and then could I move them into a 4 foot wooden vivarium as there permanent home, sorry if this Is an obvious answer I'm wanting to own a snake but never had one before and haven't done a lot of research as of yet.
In general, you don't want the snake to be longer than one side plus one end of the enclosure
OK that makes sense thanks 👍
Thank you for this!!!
You're welcome!

@@jessicacreager5328 Paper towels for sure during the 1st 30 days. That won't have any effect on the temperature though. You'll want 80 on the cold side and 90 on the warm. You may need two separate heat mats or bump the temps up in the room he's in.

In a tub, that's usually an ambient temperature problem. I keep my room at 76-78. If your house is cool, your tub is going to be cool. You may need a heat mat on both sides.

Great video
Do you have links to find the supplies you are sharing? Thank you!!
Yes, check the description of any of my more recent videos. There are links to everything in those
I know this video is old lol but what do you put your tub on to get it off of the floor and let air flow under the heat mat?I see on your tub it looks like maybe suction cups on wood? Unless I saw it completely wrong lol
I usually just get little felt furniture feet or something like that :-)
I always call it mammalizing, when people think reptiles need the same luxuries or living habitats as a human, dog, cat in order to be happy lol
That's a good word for it!
What’s the easiest way to increase the ambient air temp in a tub setup? My first thought would be to add another heat pad just set to a lower temperature but if anybody has advice I’d appreciate it.
Hey Tanner, good question. For a lot of people, the way its been done is just to raise the room temps but that's not always practical. I know some people have set a low wattage CHE on a stand over the cool side of the tub. Some have also had success with putting some sort of insulation like Styrofoam around 3 sides of the tub. Hope that helps, good luck with it!
Can I purchase a ball python from you like to make sure it's healthy. Looking for a baby pied or normal thank you very much Ron,
Hey Ron, I don't have anything available right now. I'll have some in September but no pieds and probably no normals
I made a tote enclosure before i ever started it i let it sit outside for 2 weeks. I completed the tote and now for some reason it lets off a smell. Allmost smells like chemicals. Is there anyway to get rid of the smells? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It's ard to know what that might be. I would just wash it out really well with bleach and see if that changes anything. It may be an object you put in there instead of the tub itself
@@GreenRoomPythons most definitely will give it a shot. Thank you
Could you do a enclosure set up for an adult? 👉👈
It's all the same setup - everything is just bigger :-)
My roommate gave me her ball python when she moved and he only has one rock to hide but idk where she got it. should I just try to find another rock for him that's a similar size to the one he has? or should I replace it and get two of the same size? I just don't want to traumatize him and then have a feeding problem. His comfort and happiness is my largest priority! :)
I doubt he would be traumatized, but I'd either find a similar hide or just get two new ones. You may end up changing his husbandry in other areas too, I'm sure he'll adapt and at least appreciate the extra hide :-)

whaT SIZE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR A OVER 1,000 GRAM FEMALE BALL PYTHON BECAUSE I HAVE HER IN A 40 GALLON BREEDER GLASS TERRIUM AND HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE HUMITITY SO WAS THINKING OF A TUB ,THANK YOU AND I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS
Thanks Marjorie! I'm glad you like the videos... A tub will make it much easier to control that environment, so good choice. The breeder tubs for adult females that people use in racks are about 34"x17.5", and about 5.5-6" high. Any locking Sterilite style tub thats around that size or larger would be good. If you want to go really big (with lots of clutter), many people use Christmas tree storage tubs. Let me know how it works out!
the trick is to multiply the desired amount of gallons by 4 (tubs are usually measured by quarts which is 1/4 of a gallon), so a 40 gallon terrarium equivalent would be a 160 quart tub
