IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Frequently asked questions
Python Regius require a secure, lockable enclosure with high humidity & provided with adequate heat source. We at S.N.A.K.E.S. recommend using either a PVC enclosure for larger displays, or a tub/rack setup for your snakes to achieve these requirements.
Humidity should sit comfortable around 70% and higher when your python is in shed. You can use a substrate such as coco husk, or cypress mulch mixed with some water to raise humidity as needed.
Ambient temp in your enclosure should sit between 80 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Your snake will also need a 'basking' or hot spot so we recomment using an under-tank heat source such as a reptile heat mat connected to a thermoSTAT & probe to regulate the temperature to 90 degrees Fahrenheit under one of your snake's hide locations. You can use a handheld temperature gun reader to measure the hot spot inside your enclosure in order to set your thermostat to proper settings. It is important not to exceed much above 90 degrees, as this can result in burns to your reptile.
Lastly, Python Regius are a very shy species. Unless you are using a rack system; your snake will require at least two enclosed hiding spots, as well as some 'clutter' such as fake plants & rocks to provide places to move between and feel secure in the environment. It is important to remember that 'a hiding ball python, is a happy ball python'. :)
