Products we use to set up our baby ball python tubs: 🐍
We use ReptiChip for substrate, small Pangea hides, and 8 oz deli cups for water that fit flush in our FB10 tubs. For hatchlings and shyer babies, we also add foliage for extra cover.
A few things to keep in mind:
🥥 Substrate should be damp, not wet. If it dries out, remove the animal before rehydrating and mixing the substrate. If it's too wet during prep, mix in dry substrate. Replace it when needed.
🌿 Sanitize foliage before use. Avoid wires, glitter, powder, and potentially hazardous vines. Don't overcrowd the tub.
📏 Choose a tub that allows your ball python to move comfortably, stretch out, access secure hiding spots, and maintain a proper temperature gradient.
