    I didn’t even think to add leaf litter for humidity purposes. I use it only for my bioactive gecko tanks. I haven’t done bio active snake tanks because of how robust they are with plants. But this was an amazing tutorial and will be giving this a shot. I should’ve been using reptisoil these coconut husk substrates do dry out and idk why people praise them. Thank you!!

    • @ChiefSweetsUniverse
      @ChiefSweetsUniverse  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah leaf litter is amazing plus it really makes the tank look good. My snakes haven’t really messed up the pothos since it’s so resilient that’s why it’s my fav. Yes! I don’t know why everyone loves coco substrates. I tried them many times in the past and they just do not work well.

      Hmmm. Maybe. I spent all of 3 days baking batches of leaves to sterilize them. I now have the equivalent of 14 gallons of leaves. That sounds like a lot, but if I was selling them, that's a lot of time and constant oven usage....
      Basically, you can find much better prices for leaves online vs. chain pet stores, but I now appreciate that the sellers actually had to put in some effort.

    @deonellis8577 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Just a tip coming from someone who used to live in South Africa for almost 40 years...
    When using Mopani-wood...make sure to FULLY submerge the wood in BOILING water first (2 or 3 repeated times) letting it stand in the water for 10 minutes at a time before using in the enclosure.
    If needed, put a brick on top of the piece of wood to fully get it under the water, without ANY part sticking out above the water level.
    The reason: the wood comes from the Mopani tree...and they crawl with worms. And where there's worms, there's eggs and mites. Submerging the wood in boiling water will help you get rid of any mites (and potential eggs) still left behind in the wood.

      Did you use a heat pad or just a light?
      I'm just wondering because I'm new to the snake world and also live in SA.

    • @deonellis8577
      @deonellis8577 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I used to live in SA - but now living in Germany. Heat pads work if your substrate isn't too thick; but I rather prefer Halogen Heat Lamp and Heat emitting radiators.
      In nature, heat comes from above, in the form of light. If basking, reflected heat coming from a certain object is used as indirect source.
      So, I always try to stick to something as close as possible to nature...the original version.

    First of all, great video man. I don't do bio active for either of my BP's and this was pretty enlightening, I appreciate it! With that being said though, I feel like going bio active off rip for a beginner is a large undertaking. Even if a new owner does a lot of research prior to purchase, it's always more difficult in practice & even a non-bio will have it's challenges. I'm a fairly new keeper myself & still ironing out some issues in both of my enclosures, couldn't imagine throwing in live plants, 2-3 extra light sources, 2-3 part mixed substrate, etc.

    • @ChiefSweetsUniverse
      @ChiefSweetsUniverse  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you a lot! Yeah that’s why I also said you could not do bioactive and use fake plants if it’s too large of an undertaking however bioactive is extremely easy I feel like everyone else makes it seem hard. All you need is dirt, led daylight light, plants, and a clean up crew bam solid. since ball pythons need high humidity the plants and clean up crew will thrive. Again tho don’t have to if you don’t want.

    • @zach7384
      @zach7384 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@ChiefSweetsUniverse I definitely think bio active is the way to go! Don't get me wrong. If a beginner can get it all sorted from the get go, then that's probably the best route to go! I know for myself it would have been overwhelming and think it would be for many, lol. I live in a very cold and extremely dry part of the US, so I've been struggling with humidity basically since day one and definitely want to go bio active in the future. I'll probably be revisiting this video, the leaves trick is a good tip

    Do you keep your basking light on throughout night to maintain regular temperature? Unsure with doing research if I should get a power strip with a timer to turn off lighting/heat but also want to make sure that he has proper temp throughout day/night. I have everything else that I need but am stuck on what to do in terms of nighttime care for heating and lighting.

    Great information, and I appreciate how you don't overcomplicate matters. I'm preparing a bioactive 20g long tank for a baby Children's Python. I've read varying reports of their native habitat, and it appears that most likely they hail from dryer, hotter locales. Would you adjust this mix slightly to accommodate a drier environment? That being said, I'm wondering if this mixture could be perfect since we are located in Southern Arizona, and our home is quite dry. I think I'm foregoing the drainage level. I am utilizing some cuttings from my own personal plants but will keep the plant growth to a minimum rather than being overrun by greenery. Thanks in advance!

      From what I've been reading, a lot of sites have said to "spot-clean" about once a week and then do the full deep-clean once a month (if I remember correctly) which involves replacing the substrate, cleaning and disinfecting all of the dishes, hides, logs, leaves, etc., and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tank itself.

      You have to be careful as the sun coming through a window sometimes acts like a magnifying glass and can heat up the glass tanks super hot like an oven. But also the sun would provide uvb but glass windows block most uvb by 99% so a window would only help with extra light.

      Be sure to provide plenty of clutter/plant cover so there’s not too much open space.

    So I set my thermostat to 100 as a default and I closely monitored the temperature, after hours and hours on a 100w heat lamp, it won't go past 89, and my ceramic heat emitter on the thermostat won't go past 85 even after hours, any idea why?

      As long as you get temps around 85f - 90f in the hot side of the tank you are good. Basking spot around 100f
