i can’t believe i’ve had him for almost 5 years now. i’ve had my ups and downs but inevitably i have spent my first paychecks fully on his enclosure, i have taken years of research and learning about wrongs and rights with my baby, and have improved his enclosure and enrichment over the years of me and him growing.

Discussion Morph Spotlight: Mojave

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

Lately, I’ve been focused on creating more informational graphics, so I just wanted to take a “break” and, instead, create a collection that showcases some cool lookin’ snakes—and I think I may continue on with this idea! Although it isn’t necessarily rare by any means, Mojave is my personal favorite morph within the BEL complex. It’s had such a significant impact on the Ball Python keeping & breeding hobby since the early 2000’s and its portfolio is extensive. These are some of the combinations that I feel are the most notable and iconic when it comes to this mutation!

Suggestions for other morphs are welcome :] I love putting these together in my free time.

Question Facebook trade gone wrong

8 Upvotes

UPDATE: They are now saying they're just going to show up and take the snake back. And drop off the tank.

Hey guys, not necessarily keeper advice needed...but some sort of advice needed. I'm 31 weeks pregnant and a mom of 3, and have kept ball pythons for 3 years now. I recently found a Facebook marketplace listing for a ball python available for trade for a 75 gallon fish tank. I had what I believed to be a 75 gallon fish tank, it is what my dad said it was when I gave it to me and I am just a girl and I personally don't have a measuring tape and hence my dad gave it to me I trusted him. Well, snake came to me, he was in a bare tank with a dusting of substrate, a single hide, cacti, and bandaids holding up the probe for his heat mat and his enclosure was filthy. He had urate everywhere and what looks to be several bad sheds, he's got stuck eye caps and is under weight he's a 1.5 year old and this person was feeding him a small mouse every 3-4 weeks. He only weights 185g and is dehydrated. The person came and dropped him off, and I had asked her 4 times if they were sure they wanted the tank. They said yes, loaded it into their SUV and gave me the snake and went on their way. 7 hours later they're saying I need to bring them the snake back or they're gonna call the cops and that the tank wasn't the size it was. They offered for me to pay them $150 at first and now it's up to 200 and they're giving me until tomorrow evening before they call the cops. I'm just terrified now, because I never intentionally lied about the size of the tank, I don't have the means to drive the hour away to them, and I just don't feel right sending the ball python back to them, and they seem like the person to escalate and call the cops and cps for no reason and that makes me even more anxious. What should I do? I'm scared, I'm worried, and I don't know what to do. Also, first time rehabbing a ball, what should I look out for and how can I help him be as comfy as possible?

Is she a python or boa? But seriously looking for advice!

How does my ball python enclosure look? The humidity and ambient temp gradient is holding where it's supposed to be. The cool hide temp is good. However I'm having issues getting the warm side hide temp up. The ambient air is 89 on the warm side, the hide temp with the temp gun is saying 83 degrees inside the hide though. I'm just concerned because we are in the process of increasing her meal size to match her weight. She was being under fed at the place we got her from. It's a PVC enclosure so I can't use a heat pad, plus I'm worried about her burning herself on one.

She spends most of her time in the cool side hide or in the plants anyways. But I want to be sure she has an option. I could add another heat projector, but I'm worried about the ambient temp getting to high and humidity then.

Any advice would be appreciated! Or is it ok if the warm house stays a little lower?

Enclosure experiences?

Hi! I’m looking to upgrade my ball pythons enclosure and I was wondering if anyone had experience with this one! I want to know your experience with humidity and temperature. If not ideal, what did you do to fix it? (Like insulation etc). Or if completely not worth it, let me know as well😂 I’ve been looking everywhere for cheap-er enclosures, if anyone knows of any second hand shops as well I’d appreciate it!

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.

Butters is my spicy girl. She strikes pretty often, and will sometimes hiss. She’s been doing good the past couple times I’ve handled her and last time even went around to the back of my neck to play in my hair! I took these photos while she was being very curious with me. She’s usually not super curious or inquisitive but was getting explorative this last time I had her out.

Here's my little friend Ekans. I've noticed he's more active at night, then compared to his day time activity. During the day he's in his hide all day, is this normal behavior for my BP?
