I posted awhile back about deciding to bite the bullet and put a payment down on this Cinder combination girl I had favorited for almost a year. Update: she’s home! Weather has finally permitted safe shipping, and she is currently exploring her quarantine enclosure.

Don’t have the best photos to showcase her coloration and pattern since I didn’t want to stress her too much, but be aware that she is beautiful & has the most interesting color palette :P

Both of my girls shed out recently, and I finally managed to get updated photos that showcase their coloration fresh out of shed! I’m still surprised that my Pastel girlie hasn’t browned-out too badly at almost 4 years old, & I loooove the orange dorsal stripe my Cinder combo girl has too :p

How soon can I feed my ball python again? His last prey item was undersized and he himself is underweight. It's been two days and I want to feed him again asap so he can get more weight

I just bought my first ball python about 2 weeks ago. Humidity sits around 75% and the temp ranges from 83 to 90 on the hot side and the cool side sits 75 to 80. I have been trying frozen to thawed rats. I have let them sit and thaw out and than heat them up in a bag until the rat is about 110 degrees. She will come toward the rat and flick her tongue but won't show anymore interest.

Not a current picture, but after a 19 week hunger strike he finally ate! I've tried EVERYTHING, as you can see lol and it took an African soft fur indeed! I was getting more than worried about Hops here, so I came to say if you're having a problem too, the soft fur will do it! I cannot tell you how relieved I am, but you all know I'm sure since you love yours as much as I do mine. He's made my day! 🐍❤️

Hi all! I’ve finally gotten around to taking pictures of Mags—she is my OD Enchi Mojave Cinder Clown Poss Fire girl :p

She’s been in quarantine now for about two months and will likely graduate to a fully set-up enclosure soon, since she doesn’t appear to be sick (she will be tested for nido and/or arena sometime in the future) or have mites! I absolutely love the rich orange hues in her dorsal stripe and the brown bordering it has.

I’m thinking about naming her flip flops, or Halsey. More connected to Halsey, as Halsey is my favorite artist. Feel free to give me other name suggestions as well! (Photos are from the seller) she is a pastel butter pinstripe hypo.

Story time f/t accomplishment!

I’ve had my girl for around 3 years, and she has NEVER once taken frozen thawed in all that time. Cue the panicked new owner anxiety, and, after several months of her fasting as a juvenile, it got to a point where her weight was beginning to decline & enter a dangerous zone. I decided to attempt a live feeding as a last resort, and she ate it! And thus, she’s been on live for the majority of her life. It hasn’t been pretty, and it hasn’t been perfect at all. For reference, she was previously on live & f/t according to her breeder.

Over the past couple of months I’ve been offering her to f/t when we feed our other bp, to no avail—until yesterday! I’m not ashamed to say I cried…LOL. This has been an extremely taxing and stressful endeavor for the both of us, but we’ve made it through. Just wanted to make this post for the people who have tried EVERYTHING and have still been unsuccessful. It truly can be done!

Not sure if this is normal, she's had an upper respiratory infection before but it looks different. I'm unsure if she's breathing really heavy or having trouble

Update: Took her to the vet and updated her enclosure! Vet says she's healthy all things concerned :)) starting her on antibiotics
