ok cool just make sure he/she doesnt take it back out as the substrate could cause blockage if it is swallowed! sorry if i seem a little pushy bout it but it seems to be more common in pythons and boas anyway good luck with your snake mate ;D |

cool set up.... ;D
royal pythons are generally very shy animals so it may be worth covering the back and the 2 sides with black card as they get nervous(which sometimes results in them not feeding) if all 4 sides are visible and as said put paper towel in while feeding
its not happened to me as of yet but have friends who keep their royals in glass cages and thats what they do
do you have a thermostat to control the right temps as royals will also go off feeding if the temps are not met
other than that it looks a great set up and best of luck with your royal python
