"On behalf of Expert Village I'm Nicole. This one here is a size 30 critter cage I got this from my local pet store. It's made by a reptile company so what they do is they took the idea that all glass aquarium made it wider, gave it lot more floor space and gave it a slide able walkable screen cover. So this is very convenient for if you have a large collection of reptiles. These are perfect you can lock them up, they are very safe, no kids can get into it, no pets can get into it. I provided him this is a ball python in this tank so what I done is given him the tropical bark, it's called jungle earth. He really likes that it holds a lot of moisture so I can mimic the tropical atmosphere for him. I given him this granite water dish, it's very decorative and makes the terrarium look nice. It makes it fit well in a home, it also has this stick here this is actually a artificial stick, it has wire inside of it so it can form it however you want. Those are really convenient for adding to your terrariums as well all pythons do like to climb somewhat and it provides him with the opportunity to do that. I also got his natural stone shelter in there. I also got this at the pet store and it's also made by the same company that I got the rest of it from. This provide adequate shelter to grow into he's fairly a small snake at this stage but he's going to grow up in and he'll be able to use this shelter for a quiet a long time. I got the daylight on him right now and at night this one clicks off and this one turns on and this is an inferred heat bulb as well. I really like these heat bulbs cause it provides adequate heat for the night time but it also doesn't mess up their day/night cycles cause they can't see the red color."
