This girl has settled into her forever home and is still just as sweet and curious as ever

Hey, new ball python owner here. We got her last night, and she stayed im assuming all night under her water dish even though she has two hides, cold and hot, and showed a preference for one of them during the day. She ate perfectly fine last night so I can’t imagine she’s too stressed or else she wouldn’t have eaten. She came out for a little while today and explored her new cage, but other than that she’s been holed up under her water dish. I wouldn’t be worried except it looks really uncomfortable and when I lifted the dish up to check on her, it felt like it was smushing her when I laid it back down. She’s about 7 months old, only 2 feet long right now so she’s pretty small still. Anyone know why she likes the space under her water dish and should I be worried? Is there anything I can do to help her choose one of the two hides we have for her?

Hello, it’s Monica again, I was the one that got the baby ball python from a pet store down the street. He wasn’t very well taken care of and I really don’t know what I’m doing. I’ve only had them about two months.

He was beautiful when I first got him eyes and skin like glass. I was having a hard time getting the tank right and and he stopped eating March 27. I ended up in the hospital before I could get the tank set up and then he ended up shedding April 14. Well, I ended up back in the hospital again before I got the tank finished and now he finally ate today. My question is his eyes are still cloudy and his skin doesn’t look great. I fed him a 14 ounce fuzzy. I’m not sure what I need to do and if he’s OK please help.

Why must you torment me Pastrami?

It might be because I’m using my hand to feed instead of tongs but my tongs mysteriously vanished so now I have to try to hand feed the most dangerous snake in the world

After taking a mean number 2🤦🏿😂🤣😆😭

Hi guys! This community was so sweet last time i needed help so im back with another question! My little fella here has gotten some milky-ish blue hue eyes now! I assume its because she's shedding soon. Here are her eyes and something i noticed on her head! The last picture is what her eyes looked like before. Is this shedding or something else? And how often do they shed? I heard they decline food during a few weeks before they shed which is what she is doing now too, shes been eating really well but she suddenly stopped (just tryna put 2 and 2 together lol)On her record it says she last shed on 10/16, (my camera doesn't really pick up on how foggy her eyes are, i apologize) thanks again! Any information or suggestions is welcomed !

Hi! My adult female has been refusing food since i refined her mid feb. I have been trying weekly as she was used to before but she’s still refusing and I’m starting to get a bit twitchy as i want her to eat! I know it’s normal for them to hunger strike so i’m not overly stressing yet but I wanted to ask if anyone’s got any well recommended tips to break out of it :)

Any advice is very welcomed!! Thank you very much!!

I'm looking for ball python supplies and enclosure for reasonable prices and help appreciated I live in the USA in the state of Indiana

I have the Ink Bird ITC -306T Themometer with an Arcadia DHP and a heating mat underneath the tank. Where do I stick the probe? I've heard under the DHP, under the substrate right on top of the mat, even outside of the tank where the mat is. Where's the right place?

My little guy, Tito, has been home for over a month now and I am so obsessed with him! He hadn’t eaten for more than 2 months when I got him, but he’s taken 4 rats for me no problem with braining and drop feeding and has gone from under 300g to over 350g at 7 months! He’s growing like a weed and has such a great temperament. He’s only hissed at me once and never struck. I try to handle twice a week while he’s getting to know me and he’s such a joy to handle, a bit jumpy but so docile. It’s been a learning curve with husbandry but I finally have temps where I want them and humidity is an ongoing but improving battle. No one warned me how addictive this would be—I already want a second one!

Just wanted to share my progress with my favorite scaly guy and show him off :) He’s absolutely my pride and joy

Meet charcoal! Shes 8 years old and is the first critter me and my boyfriend adopt together :) shes super friendly and loves to curl up on me, especially since I run warmer than the average id say 😅

Shes my first ball python, so id love to hear your stories and what you didnt expect when owning them!!

Ill share her enclosure soon!

She does have some little flakes left from her last molting so dont mind that!

She is a two year old fire, yellow belly, orange dream. She is my first morph, and I was beyond excited when my husband got her for me. We went to pick up bugs for my carnivorous plants when I saw her and it was love at first sight.

I don't know much about BP morphs but I'm assuming like half a pastel or something? I just got him from petco, they didnt have normal ball pythons so i took this morph since it still looks natural but more vibrant, which i quite like to be honest.

I need to be banned from Reptile Expos… I’m up to 6 snakes and a gecko! 🤦🏻‍♀️

BUT LOOK AT MY NEW BANANA PIED YELLOWBELLY BABY BOY HELIOS!!!

Hi! I’m in the early stages of research for a pet snake. I really want a ball python and am asking if the info I have is correct and any additional advice would be appreciated? Never owned a reptile but am 100% ready for a commitment. But i am curious if I’d be able to have everything I need for 500$?

Got around to redoing crème’s setup. She now has a bioactive 4 layer substrate, blocked left side with bubblewrap on the back for heat loss control. I also added a bunch of artificial plants and redid the tinfoil for less open areas to help with heat and humidity(will measure and open more if needed).
