Our animals love us

But they don't always "love me" lol, which is why I stopped keeping hots. Too much of a risk to get nipped when you handle venomous snakes on a daily basis, and I sleepwalk at times, not a good combo.

What sand do you use? I bought the normal fine stuff bit im not a fan of it due to fear of compacting in the snake when he eats. As you can see in the pic i placed the sand in a large ceramic container for him to borough and i feed him on the wood chips, but still dont like the fine sand

I use normal plays and bought from builders or west pack. I did do a trail om crushed peach pits, but the humid was too low and I had lots of bad sheds. Even coco husk or peat moss works. They are not fussy snakes. Can even use Aspen shavings for them. There are some cool Facebook groups. You'd be amazed at all the different morphs available in the US
 
They are awesome little snakes, I have about 15 or so, lol. Not very popular in the pet trade for some reason, I struggled to sell my last babies, so I didn't breed this season. But the more people get into them, the better for me. I have some linebred traits I'm working on. Anyway, let me know if you want more. If I don't have what you're looking for, I know a lady that will have. I keep ball pythons as well, and one or two very exotic species, like this rhino rat snake

Fourth and final cage now full. My daughter bought herself a baby leapord gecko with her allowance. Ive put in a white led strip instead of warm led to hilight the gecko's colours, and using black fine gravel for contrast. I think it looks awesome

Thats amazing @SmokeyJoe - no wonder your animals love you!

How does the temp controller reduce or increase the temp?
Does it have built in Aircon?

Its has multiple inputs. If heat is required it will start up the heating pads, if cooling is required, it shutsdown the heating pad and starts up the fans. You can attach an aircon as well, but that will be more for seawater fish tanks that require exact temps

That is really disturbing for me... A friend of ours also have snakes and I absolutely hate it when he feeds them pinkies... :-(
Wait until you have to feed a 3 meter long python prekilled whittle wabbits
