Hello! First post here. A little bit of backround. This is my first BP I have ever owned. Just got her a week ago. She was in mid shed 'in the blue,' and she was always hiding.. I have read every guide I could get my hands on online / these forums here. After a couple of days she turned normal.. I get home from work and she left me a couple of presents! Poo, and a COMPLETE shed. Wow is she gorgeous~
I know I need a second hide of the same. I just got some quick things to fill in till I purchase 2 exact hides online... I made some interesting ones. Here is my setup. While she was in shed I easily kept it at 70% humidity and now without spraying it all the time stays around 45-50 naturally.
It was interesting she is so friendly I was even handeling her while she was in shed. Very very shy but once that shed took off man is she a smarty pants! I really enjoy her personality! I can play some online games while streaming and have her around my neck no problems! (I Have only had her for 5 days now.)
I think that is enough back round.. So here are my questions
1) I am not total sure on age. That was one question if I could get an estimate. She is barely passed 3 ft.. I fed her while in shed and she took it. Previous owner said she fed once a week. I want a fatty ole girl so I am gonna try at the very least once a week.
2) I know people are gonna burn me for not having 2 of the exact same hides. Like I said I am ordering them. Till then how does this look for now? As far as husbandrys go?
3) Once a week food schedule is ok?
4) What morph is this beautiful girl? From what I can come up with she looks like a fire ball.
5) Was gonna name her bones cause she has a killer bone on her back. Check it out in the pics! =P (I named her Mishka - little bear in Russian)
6) Does she look pretty healthy? Her belly is quite white. I don't see any previous shed issues or anything. No mites. I just mean weight wise I guess.
Wanted to say : Thanks for the information on here. I haven't owned a reptile in a couple of years and wanted to go back. Amazing information on here and I have watched every ball python video on youtube I could probably name them all too you. I live alone and wanted something that fun to chill with when I am not busy working and just want to game allllll day. Or rock out with some guitar and a killer around my neck~
If she is in fact a Fireball - I definitely wanna try to breed her later for some possible lucy's ^_^
This one is my favorite. She loves watching my other screen (I have a 3 monitor computer setup) And she'll just stare at what I am kicking ass in haha.. I just took her out of the cage and within 5 minutes starting warming up and just wanting to crawl all over me and things
And this one is the bone I was telling you all about haha
