New Baby!

[u/Careless_Section_448]

Hi guys! I've lurked this subreddit for a few months to research all the needs of a ball python. I just got my girl today! She is (supposedly) a 7 month old Pastel Enchi Spider. I have a 36×18×18 ecoflex enclosure and used a combination of coconut fiber and coconut husk for her bedding (3-4inch deep). I have a moss hidey hole, a large branch, rope with fake plants tangled around it, and a larger ceramic water bowl. I also have two heat lamps (one being ceramic for the cool side at night) alone with analog thermometers for temp and humidity. I still plan on getting another hidey hole. I had two, but the second one did not work out. I will put HVAC tape around the top wire mesh to keep in humidity. I also eventually want to get 3D slate for the background. I will also upgrade to a 120 gallon when she gets bigger. Is there anything else you can think of adding to make her as happy as possible? Also if you have any name suggestions please drop them!

She's cute as hell. But keep an eye out for neurological problems associated with the spider gene. All you may need are timers and controllers for adjusting heating needs. My girl is pastel enchi champagne, which can also have some neurological problems. Ive seen her wobble a little bit and star gaze, otherwise she's awesome.

I've noticed she already wobbles her head a bit when she moves. Once she flipped her head over. I'm assuming from being disoriented. I figured I could just make her cage wobble proof so she doesn't bonk her head against anything too hard.
