I Built a Bioactive Enclosure for my Ball Python w/ 3D Background

I am showing you the process I use to build my 3D Naturalistic Backgrounds. This particular enclosure is a bioactive setup for my Banana Calico Ball Python. In this Do It Yourself How To Guide on building backgrounds for a snake enclosure, I walk you through the process of applying the Great Stuff Foam all the way through to moving in the ball python.

“He seems to enjoy this enclosure a whole lot”
Snake: *hmm this glass smells like glass*

[Wayworn]

The lil bug crawling across the top of the tank around 5:00 like "Dayum, thanks for the new digs!" XD

[dorabrooks]

Beautiful! I love how this tuned out! It's so great to see climbing opportunities for a BP, too- I know not every BP likes to climb, but many do, so it's nice to give them the option. Frank is a gorgeous snake! Gotta love the banana morph. 🥰

[jenniecogs]

Yay!!! A snake video! I fully believe that most who start out as snake people cross over to tarantulas at some point and vice versa. 🕷🐍

[tempeverything]

Glad you're back to posting videos!

[knots]

that audio quality is nuts. do you do production as a career? dope vid.

[treasurestatetarantulas]

Sick. This past week I ordered everything to do this. I’m stoked that you posted this, great timing for me haha!

[MissMaja]

So relaxing to see Frank in the new enclosure! It would be really cool if you at some point just made a video with footage of your animals that we could just chill to and admire them if we can't or don't have them for ourselves. Great build!

[mariestubbs]

Love the enclosure Richard and what a gorgeous snake ...

[tarantulacollective]

Links to the supplies I use in this build are in the description of the video. Thank you for watching! Tarantula Tuesday will be back Feb. 1st 2022!

[wheezyvettech]

This was great! I did something similar for my leopard gecko, Mowgli. Your cork bark idea helped me because I will be setting up a garter snake pair enclosure this month! I wish my ball python liked climbing so that I could something like what you made for yours.
Thank you for all you do!

[toasternfriends]

This is awesome, absolutely love it. Wouldn't hate a version with just you talking and being even more detailed throughout the process, rather than the music, but beggars can't be choosers.

[georgecardiff]

Brilliant video Richard, that new enclosure turned out fantastic, your snake 🐍, will be very happy in there.

[robertsimpson]

Beautiful job sir well done! 👏 Serendipitous timing to as a bioactive set-up is my next project I'm planning on tackling. Thank you for the information inspiration and guidance 🙏

[cathsmith]

Will definitely use this video to help with rehousing my growing ball pythons this year.

[Godz_Gift]

Great job. Finally an enclosure for snake. Not to many on here. 😊

[drimachuck]

Oh wow I never see ball pythons in bioactive setups because people think they're a more arid species. But they live in termite mounds in the wild which are pretty humid so they'd do fine in a bioactive setup in captivity as long as the soil isn't damp.

[dineshjohn]

Pls more videos about ball python everyone love it and also keep up the good work

[kliblovescake]

Awesome build! I have a banana bp myself named Monty (the Python) and am looking forward to him getting a bit bigger so I can build him an enclosure like this. Your videos have been greatly helpful, and I've been going through them near-religiously for tips, tricks, and ideas. Keep up the good work!

[allusernamestakenlol]

Nice job on this one. I really like the background substrate in your build, most people just use plain coco fiber and I can't stand that look since it lacks a lot of detail.

Nice to see another ball python build video on YT since there don't seem to be too many naturalistic ball python setups out there. Currently working on a 4x2x2 setup and have had a rough time trying to see how most people do it and whether or not the methods they use actually work or not. I'm finding that there's a reason most people don't do this with ball pythons.
