Thanks to everyone who gave input on my other post. I've decided we're going to get a Ball.
So, now that we know what, let's move on to habitat. I know I need to maintain a humidity level, and they make a gauge to measure it. How is a good way to do this? I seen misting the substrate. I've also seen waterfalls. Do the waterfalls help maintain humidity or are they just an expensive decoration that the snake could care less about?
Hides. Are the 1/2 logs I've seen good for that or would some flat rocks stacked together be better. I thought the rocks might serve a dual purpose in giving them a basking spot as well.
Substrate. wood shavings or paper? I know cedar is off limits since it makes them sick. But there are some wood ones that are safe. Do the snakes seem to prefer one over the other? Weird as it may sound, I want to create a comfortable home for our snake. It stands to reason it will be easier to work with if it's not stressed about its habitat.
Again, I appreciate all the input. Daniel and I are really trying to think this through before we make the commitment.
