Don’t mean this weirdly lol but I absolutely love you. Lol the way you think makes me happy. All the questions I’ve had you basically always answer. I am new to ball python keeping and am wanting to get into breeding eventually and I had a problem with putting the probe on the heat tape but couldn’t think of a way to get it in the tub without using tape. Thanks so much for this. You’re brilliant and I love how you’re always thinking of the little things that will make your daily life and routines easier!!! Keep up all the fantastic work.

Thanks for beeing here Matt and Curt, you have been a great inspiration....and just today i got my first clutch of eggs...7 good ones.....Pairing was Enchi Fire Het Caramel to a SpinnerBlast. Wish me luck :)

[@tailwhip3774]

Zip tie/strip was an excellent tip and definitely seems like a successful method. I’m gonna do it your way, Matt. I keep a close eye on my balls and I believe it to be good enough but I really like what you’ve shown. Welcome back CGC.

[@KYKonstrictorsandExotics]

Excellent video and most proper for the occasion... lol . I'm actually setting up my baby rack today so i thought it fit the bill! I love how you set it up and I love those ceramic bowls. I'm a big fan

[@rachelpotter2045]

I love your video's so much.great contents always. .. Matt and kurt u guys make a great team. Great set up loving the new place. You should put a ad or 2 in your video's to help you guys out.. I'll watch the ads ro help support your guys u deserve it.

[@marshallawmorphs3758]

I've always really liked your probe installation. Seems to me that is the most logical place for the most accurate reading. Also I agree on the substrate especially the females. Her instinct is to nest.... So I give her stuff to nest with! 😄

[@DEAexotics]

I love the way you set up your prob great set up keep up the amazing work

[@itzsupermutant3187]

My boy Matt tearin’ shit up like always

[@SOUTHSOUNDSNAKES]

Thanks for sharing Matt. It's always good to see and hear varying ways of doing things, that's how we grow. Take care brother!

[@jetman1963]

I am with you Matt probe in the tub. Early lesson for me, snake dragged probe to water dish and the rack got hot. I caught it right away. My living room is my reptile room and i noticed they were all out front in 41 qt tubs. So a zip tie it will be. Thanks

[@amazingmorphs2768]

Matt, TGR is releasing GEN 3 racks!!!! They look awesome

[@DarthInsomnis]

Baby snake room looking badass!

[@BenjaminsExotics]

Hey Olympus Reptiles. Where did you get your new water bowls from?

[@OlympusReptiles]

I don't know, shop vendor

[@russellvanwyk7214]

Awesome reptile house, you should make more videos. Love the vids!

[@demonicreptiles]

Great video where do you get your water bowls from ?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Oreder through our shop

[@teamliquify6614]

Where did you get the ceramic water bowls

[@OlympusReptiles]

Order through our shop

[@jennalavoie4962]

Can you sometime explain how heat tape works and where you can get it? For someone like me only having 1 ball atm but want more I will want a rack and know nothing about heat tape. Would appreciate it very much

[@OlympusReptiles]

Online. It is just a heating element.

[@lorimcelroy7464]

Does the heat burn the plastic or the substrate?

[@OlympusReptiles]

No, regulated by thermostat

[@WRS_YT]

He protecc He attacc But most importantly... He live in a rack

[@aaronr336]

You used a hose so are you on a well system in your home or what?

[@OlympusReptiles]

No, just have really good tap

[@ianhhh1984]

Question on this setup that doesnt get talked about much. What is the ambient temp of the room for a rack system? And how do you maintain that. I bought a single story rack for my bp baby and then winter came and the temps dropped. Using a space heater right now but wondering if you have any words of wisdom for that situation. All the best love your content.

[@OlympusReptiles]

It is just that.

[@ianhhh1984]

@@OlympusReptiles Thanks so much guys love your work!!!

[@josepharenas9120]

How offended do you change the substrate for all ball pythons?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Just as necessary. I don't keep a set schedule, but may end up developing one.

[@josepharenas9120]

I am thinking of switching from paper to the prime but just want to know how offended you change but thank you for you help..

[@oldangle3872]

How would you recommend keeping the probe in place if you use glass tanks?

[@OlympusReptiles]

When doing glass, I typically mount probe between glass and pad or tape. This will require a separate thermometer then, like many people do. But with no really good way to keep in place probably the safest way to mount, outside the tank.

[@Curtty72]

Hey Matt I have a 10 high diy rack and I placed my probe exactly like yours and I find that the probe senses the temp of the actual tub before the substrate where the snake is actually heats up to temp. So I have it set at 90 and when I shoot the temp gun on the hot spot it would only read bout 85. The only way I could get temp up was to suspend probe on top of the substrate. Any suggestions?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Yes, often a laser reader will read like that on substrate (their is air etc between the pieces) but when compressed (snake laying on it) can actually be a bit warmer. Probe thermometer might be more accurate

[@Curtty72]

Thanks man keep up the good work!

[@nighthunter7917]

What size bins are those?

[@OlympusReptiles]

6 qt

[@kzoo_269]

I know it's been awhile but what are the measurements of the tubs?

[@OlympusReptiles]

6 qt

[@kzoo_269]

Thank you so much

[@soldkiller]

where'd you get the tubs for those

[@OlympusReptiles]

Came with. 6qt sterilities I believe

[@saundersstuff5185]

How do you feel about back heat for baby’s should it be 90 as well?

[@OlympusReptiles]

I set it there

[@jazminesanchez7449]

Do you set a different temp at night?

[@OlympusReptiles]

I do not

[@tajlewis1064]

Sweet tips bro

[@teamliquify6614]

I’ve always used aspen if it isn’t broke don’t fix it

[@OlympusReptiles]

For us it molded to easy. But does work, my first clutch was on it

[@lukecairns2085]

Any chance you can get ahold of TGR for me? I ordered mice racks from them 2 months ago meaning they are 2 weeks over do and I can't get ahold of anyone. Hope everything is okay.

[@OlympusReptiles]

Try a Facebook message or email. Eric recently did a video with kusko talking about trying to get back with people. Work in progress

[@lukecairns2085]

Okay thank you!! I have been emailing but I'll try Facebook lol. Thanks again!!

[@lukecairns2085]

I did watch the Kusko video! Moving a business definitely is time consuming lol.

[@timothylotman]

Hey matt

[@notsorry3631]

ohh send me a baby!

[@DowntheRoad40]

4 inch ?

[@OlympusReptiles]

I don't remember what I was talking about, maybe heat tape on the tgr. Animal plastics uses a cord. Tape is my favorite

[@OlympusReptiles]

Lol. 4 inch water bowl

[@fireflies_711]

second lol morning and hugs
