Yes, we bought it for our ball python. I will say though that he likes to hang on it so he's not real big yet. He's big enough where half of his body hands off and it's strong enough to hold him. It's possible he could pull it off when he gets too big, but I think he won't even try to hang on it then. I recommend it. One piece sticks to the tank and it's velcro. Them the temperature gauge that has Velcro on the back sticks to that part. We use this in all our pet aquariums.
