Small tank, I advise an exo terra. Hope it’s on temporary. Also, you need a ‘cool hide’. Basically a hide on the side the heat lamp isn’t directed at. Just deciding to get an animal, without research, is terrible.
Nooooooo. Not from a national chain pet store. You’ll be mortified if you seen the conditions of the breeding facilities where they source their reptiles from!
I would recommend getting a thermostat and a larger tank including enrichment foliage a extra hide and using a coconut fibre based substrate or a humidity box
Not to be rude but I suggest you look into coconut fiber as a substrate for your tank. Aspen can cause bad shedding for your snake. Also, look into a bigger tank or even plastic tub soon. Good luck with your snake.
This is not hate but did you do any research at all? Ball Pythons need 30 or 40 gallon tank, not a 10 gallon tank. They also need tons more of hides and plants. The plants don't have to be real by the way. You just need a heating mat not a lamp. You should have done research.
Actually they do just fine in a 10 gallon tank until they start getting bigger then you move to a 20-30 gallon coming from someone who owns 5 ball pythons 🥰
For a wild type? I got my Bella (also a wild type) for $20... I don’t value ball pythons on their patterns Bc it’s all the same snake but $60 is a little much compared to buying one from a breeder. It’s around $40 on average for the wild type morph. ❤️❤️❤️
No!! Ball pythons shouldn't have a heat lamp! They arent a basking species, they need a cool side of the tank at room temperature and a warm side of the tank with heat from the bottom! Sorry not tryna criticize you or anything but that's not a proper set up!! Edit: a spelling error, and that tank is way too small even for a small ball python like that. Please. Do your research before buying a pet :'(
@@iliyanaroldan8088 that is incorrect ive breed and kept ball pythons and other snakes for almost 5 yrs they do not require a heat lamp but they are much healthier and happy with it so please do youre research before commenting bullshit
@@paytasoproductions5427 ball pythons hate the light and they do not require uv rays so a uv light is not required, what should be used us a CHE bulb that doesn't produce light but produces heat, im sorry to say but you are wrong when it comes to ball pythons and lights dude
@@devonritchie1899 ok considering the ball pythons that are not for sell at my shop that i have had for well over 6 yrs have been doing completely fine so it causes absolutely no problems with the snake
Actually ball pythons hate light and do not require uv rays so having a light is not a good thing, what is needed is a CHE which produces heat but not light
@@carsonLittlefishing no ball pythons do not need a light during the day, the light in your house is more than enough to establish a day night cycle, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about
If u get a snake please do research like I didn’t once but know my snake is fine because that enclosure looks pretty small and needs 2 hides your snake will get stressed also heat gun will work don’t want heat lamp to get to hot and cook yours snake not being mean just telling u just so u know have a good day ❤️🐍
@@tigergirl2897 Yes but that's a 5.5-10 gallon tank, basically the size for a baby crestie. Also I think as long as you can keep everything right in a tank or tub it should be fine. Sorry for no sooner reply we just got out of a tornado and wifi went out.
@@jaxsonricketts8609 no its not. Have u did research? I even did test on my snakes. Tank they felt exposed and never came out. Got the tube made it look like a jungle and they all come out and explore. U will see on alot of video and vet pages that ball python will be better in tub. Just saying
Come on, that setup looks horrible man you shouldn’t get a snake without getting everything ready before buying it. Irresponsible. I hope you’ve changed up the enclosure since this video. Sad to watch
that is not a proper set up for the tank! omg please get a bigger tank you need 2 hides one one each side the ball python need a heat pad under neath the enclosure on one side with a hide over it and then it needs another hide on the other side of the cage please please do your research before buying an animal! because with all your mistakes there the ones who suffer😭
I'm just saying like not to be rude bit it is way better if you don't use aspen. Aspen is not good for ball pythons if it get wet then it will mold so try some like bark blend from zilla not just that there are a lot of good substitute for them and aspen is not one of them hope that helps😊
He really need a lot more like temp gun-bigger enclosure 2 hides fake plants because heat lamp can get to hot and cook your snake if the snake doesn’t have no where to hide it will get stressed so like fake plants and stuff
bro if your gonna impulse buy a animal that you have no idea to take care of at least buy it from a reputable breeder instead of those buffoons at petsmart
I really hope you did some research before going to the petstore, but by the look of thing yuo havent. First of all the bedding is aspen, aspen is not a great substrate for a bp. Ball pythons need a high level of humidity and aspen dosent hold humidity well. Second of all the way of heat. Bp needs belly heat, that means that a propper heat mat would help, you should still have uvb. The third reason is the size of the cage. A ball python gets on averge around 1,5m, and that bo is allready got some size to him. They also need two hides on ether side of the cage. And at last. That bp has some stuck shed on his head, so you should’ve soaked him when you got home. Reptiles are not just something you buy on a random trip to the petstore like if you where going to get a hamster. You need to do the propper research before getting them. And thats all i gotta say
Unfortunately petsmarts only hope of selling ball pythons are on impulse purchases. People go in and have no clue what they are doing or what they are buying (dehydrated, parasite ridden snakes). Its sad and unethical that petsmart has live reptiles for sale, but profit is far more important to them than taking care of animals, and thats not just reptiles, cats and dogs as well. Sure petsmart doesn't want their animals dying or sick, but the animals wellbeing is never the top concern for a corporation, its money.
Lifeonproductions dude how is that supposed to help. Also please try coconut fiber aspen is bad for shedding (I swear to god if you take advise from this comment and use sand I’m gonna literally die)
Lifeonproductions i actually do have a snake if u cared to open my page he is a 6 month old ball python and he’s healthy he eats regularly his shed is perfect and his vivarium meets the requirements exceedingly

Where’s your animals?
Brian isnt the best option i suggest you watch goherping
I know right I hate it when people spontaneously buy reptiles cause they have no idea what they are doing
Big Chungus exactly I do my research before I get any animal
The hide is TOO big, I must have one opening, and the heating lamp should be a heating mat
Small tank needs clutter that substrate doesn’t hold moisture they need high humidity so use coco fiber

You can get this pattern of bp for 5$ at reptile shows
@@addiroo2004 facts
You need a 40+ gallon tank those snakes need space and they grow very quick
Max Bubba It depends on the age. If the snake is a baby you would want a 20 L but then you would what to upgrade to 40+ gallon
eco earth n coco husk as substrate ..n hide should only be one opening bp are all about security .hope this helps
