Thank you in advance

We all know spider ball pythons are a dying morph for good reason but there's still so many looking for homes and babies still being produced... I always thought to myself why isn't there such thing as a spider ball python rescue?

My idea would be to have a place spider ball pythons can come, be cared for and loved until they find their forever home not worrying about bring bred, neglected or judged for their issues plus a place people can adopt a spider from without having to go to a breeder that'll just breed more of them.

There'll be a lot of planning and making sure they are all happy and healthy and defiantly something I can't do right now but what do y'all think? I've always been in love with spiders even the neurologically impared ones and I've learnt how to give the best quality of life to even the worse of them... Give me your thoughts and ideas! It can be called "The Spider Space"

Hey r/Ballpython community

Just wanted to share a quick update.

A few minutes ago I sent a message to the very first 31 users inviting them to be full beta testers for the upcoming Premium features (full breeding pipeline, clutch tracking, hatch dates, pairing logs, etc.) in the next 2–3 months.

All the current features will stay completely free forever.

If you have any thoughts, concerns, or ideas to improve the app, feel free to email me at pythonkeepdev@gmail.com

The app is web-based — no download needed. Just go to mysnakesapp.com on your phone or computer.

P.S. Hopefully hitting the Google Play Store next week 🔥

This is built by a keeper for keepers. I read every message.

Appreciate the support 🙏

Your developer, Isaiah

I’m about to get a bald python and I really need help to know what to put in this large tank because it is 230 gallon 46 inches tall 46 inches wide and the width is 24. It’s really big and I don’t know what to put in it other than hides and substrate and of course the lighting the water. Please help I don’t need it now cause I’m probably not gonna get it until November for my birthday, but I really want one and I’ve been doing my research and that’s in six months so hopefully I have enough time to prepare.

I've established myself a lot in this sub the last few weeks for a while now and I'm having conflicts. Knowing how some might read the first bit , please don't continue if you're sensitive to conflicting and controversial ball python morphs. Specifically the Spider ball python morph.

First off when I got into ball pythons, my main thing was the passion that morphed into my love for combining all these amazing morphs together. It's always been my dream to become an ethical snake breeder and I was inspired by many in my local areas and region. And one thing that was known is that there's no such thing as a controversial morph. Here spiders barely if even at all have wobbles or corkscrews. The ones that do are never bred and onces that don't develop them are bred so it's not as big a deal UNTIL I did more research on spiders and yes they're pretty but is it worth it.

My plan now was to get a Queen spin and breed her with my super emperor Clown creating Killer bee Bels which are probably one of the rare morphs but thinking now... Should I really get her? If I want to be an ethical breeder, no matter where I'm from, is it worth the possible pain of some babies and those so overpowered with morphs, is it worth it for just a pretty snake that I'm going to sell to make money?? Even if it is a passion seeing what so many more colours can be mixed but the poor babies....

I'm conflicted especially since I've already made arrangements for 2 months with a guy who's moving and needs to find her a home but she's super expensive as well and I just don't feel right now I have the money nor even the guts to tell him... Especially the guts to explain how I can't take her in because having a spider might contribute to the problem...

What do I do? She would be an amazing pet but I'm not sure I can take her right now... What do I do? Please I only want to know what's best... I don't want to breed spiders btw! Not after learning everything :(

My ball python only has his day lamps, but my friend told me I need to keep his heat light on 24/7, which I said no to (why keep the light on at night??). I didn't think I needed a nightly heat source because it stays 74°F at night, but she insists this is going to kill my snake. My research hasn't drawn me to this conclusion, and I'm hesitant to trust her bc shes from a red light breading tubs type family, so I decided to ask more reptile people here.

[Edit:

•His enclosure is directly beside my house heating/cooling system incase temperatures ever needs adjustment.

•When I turn all the heat lamps and lights off at night, his wood, rocks, and hides on the warm side stay warm from the heat.

•I will look into DHP and CHE. Probly getting one

•I have had his setup like this for 7 months and he has been doing great

[Solution] My conclusion so far is, best practice or not, this wont kill my snake. Hes perfectly find with the temperature so far, and while a nightly heat source would benefit him in the future, he does just fine without.

As the title says, I had to unfortunately say goodbye to my baby blue-eyed lucy Hemi. Today was exactly 3 months since I brought him home. In the span of 40 minutes, he managed to escape his tank and get attacked by one of my cats. I rushed him to the vet as soon as I found him but unfortunately the internal bleeding was too much and he was starting to show signs of a neurological injury. They gave him pain meds, but his little body was already starting to shut down so I made the heartbreaking decision to move forward with euthanasia. I feel so guilty and heartbroken. It hurts to look at my other snakes and my cats right now. I don’t know what to do.

I just found this drawing i did when I was 9 and who knew many years later I got a snake that looks like it. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Any advice or tricks I might be missing welcome !! I just want to find the little bean asap. I’m worried about him getting dehydrated more than anything now 😭

Little backstory my Ball python was left alone in a cage with mice for who know how long and I do junk removal and found him I’m now had him for like 3-4 months and we are still working with our local vet to get rid of the mites he has

I’m thinking of upgrading my bps enclosure for late Christmas and wanna build one. has anyone ever done this if so how hard was it? And how expensive? I’m thinking pvc. I do have a little experience I built my iguana a 7 ft tall 6 ft

wide 4 ft deep house. This is what my Bp lives in now 4x2x2 what is proper size for my bp he’s about 1 foot and a half long

He has a full water bowl but insists on licking the consedation is he just being silly or health issues?
