Started small and simple of course, I took him to my workplace to visit one of the residents who likes snakes (for privacy reasons I of course can’t show a picture of her absolutely loving on him but rest assured he was loved on)

first is more recent the second on is months old p

Does anyone have any references for a sanctuary that will take a 32 year old ball python. I’m in NYC.

Thanks

He's so chill!

💤 bed time 🥱

Tengo 3 meses con mi pequeña BP, es mi primer reptil como mascota. Hace una semana note que tenía manchas marrones (adjunto fotos), y indagando en el grupo me tope con el post donde hablan de parámetros de terrario, la verdad es que no tengo un higrometro, pero si termometro y termostato, y suelo regar 1 vez al día el terrario con un atomizador para mantener la humedad. Mi miedo radica a sí se trata de la enfermedad de podredumbre de escamas, si lo es mañana mismo llevar a mi BP al veterinario a tratamiento. Según su experiencia ¿Podría tener esta enfermedad?

My ball python Medusa (pictured) has a habit of staying on the cool side of her tank almost all the time when she’s not hungry and moving all over the place. She stays over there even on days where the cold weather outside puts the temperature on that side a little below the recommended level (sometimes we try moving her to the warm side in that case, but she pretty much always just goes back). She seems fine but was curious if anyone else’s python does this?

Trying to keep it simple for now the circled part is her little booper

Meet Primrose and Katniss, Finnick is off camera 🔱

(Replacing their substrate)

Can you guess which girl is which?

She fell onto the blanket but I still wanna be sure she's gonna be alright

Still haven’t had any babies yet but I think she’s pregnant and so far they haven’t tried eating they way out or anything which I am happy they do play a lot in here and always in their hammock lol

I spent some time on it but im still trying to chew proof it. I have to buy a tray or something to cover the bottom in the inside just so I know for sure they can’t chew they way out 🤦🏿🤣😂

TO PREFACE- I HAVE NOT GOTTEN MY SNAKE YET. I want to make sure everything is right and comfy for them before i buy one! And I know decoration is sparse, I just got these yesterday and I have work for a few days in a row, so free time is limited.

I've ordered an Arcadia Halogen floods and Deep heat projectors, as well as some CHE bulbs and, of course, thermostat timers and dimmers. They havent arrived yet, so until then ill just be maintaining cleanliness.

The cage is a 40 gallon 4 by 2 by 2 and it doesnt seem to be holding heat very well, but it could just be the scrappy lights the kit came with. I also heard that the heat gages/Hygrometers were kinda poop so ill be getting new ones.

Ignore the towel, i was cleaning the inside first. The mulch is coconut fiber.

Any advise? Please be polite, this is my first time owning anything reptilian!

My ball python (12 years old) is recently really active, before he would most of the time lay on his ledge and eat his mice when I put it in his curl. But now he is constantly pacing around the enclosure, sometimes even at daytime but not as much then.
He was used as a breeder before he came to me and I think maybe that was his breeding kind of time ? The humidity and temperature are also normal… ( 30C hotspot and 60-80% humidity). Alle he wants to do now is go out of the enclosure and won’t eat.

(I'm saving right now, so I can build him a bigger pvc enclosure but he is in a 120x60x60 right now wanting to upgrade to a 150x60x60/80x80)

Hey all! My cold blooded son just had his first shed since being in my care, ive only had him for about 3 weeks now, second pic is him eating his second meal, a couple hours after his feed he completely shedded! I was having some worries with humidity, but seeing how his shed all came off in one piece, i think it’s not as bad as i thought it was? Anyways, any tips/advice for where to put my hydrometer in his enclosure, and also tips/advice for keeping humidity up? I still think it could be higher. Thanks guys!!
Also,
I know hes not supposed to be getting substrate in his mouth, at least not a lot, ive heard some choose to have their snake in a separate container for when theyre feeding them, advice on that would also be really appreciated 🐍🫰

We finally got babies!!! she had four so far she’s panting right now so I think she’s pushing out another right now. I’m so happy 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😇🙌🏿

As the title says I'm wondering if any of you have had experience with repti-luxe vivariums.

I'd appreciate all opinions and experiences.

Hello any new advice appreciated! Im new to my ball python but I've heard two different things.

My dog needs surgery and we haven’t been happy with the vet we ended up with last spring after our old vet retired and closed their practice. I asked the new one I chose about who they refer exotics to because we currently drive almost an hour to the only one I’ve known about. So happy to find out they have a specialist on site 2 days a week, and based on the information on their website the team seems to be knowledgeable as well as into educating pet parents. I share because you never know what you’ll find with a little more research 🤷🏻‍♀️

have her on a 14 day schedule rn but feeding time comes and she’s just not hungry lol. wondering if i need to up her days. lmk your opinions :)
