I wonder what he can see with the cover in place. Are children’s pythons crepuscular? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok guys so unsurprisingly I’m struggling with my humidity. Typically my humidity is around 40 and I have to spray to get it up but it rapidly drops...

I’m currently using the VE CB70 rack, which requires 4” heat tape. So, I’ll monitor the temperature of the tub instead of the substrate. I initially...

That's how many snakes get "burned"- they dig under or accidentally push the substrate away. Also, for UTH to work best, it shouldn't be too deep...

That’s good input. I have to say I didn’t hit the tub itself with the temp gun. I just assume top substrate temp was the goal. Sent from my...

Make sure you read temp on the tub at the bottom of the substrate, not just on top of the substrate. The snake will displace the chips under its hide...

Nice. He looks great. I would keep humidity up a little and let him shed. Then offer food after. Also, how often are you handling him? I...

So glad it’s starting to warm up! I think he might be starting to go blue. Here comes the first shed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree, rats would be a better choice. Eventually you’ll find your self feeding 3 mice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got him on the 18th so brand new. Feeding FT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The shipment arrived early. Cover turned out as well as I hoped. Go figure. From Wiggles's perspective with the flash: With the...

Thanks!! I am so excited! I just got notification that my AP T-10 has been shipped & should arrive Saturday. The fun begins.

^^What he said.

Idk, it sounds like your setup is fine. It never hurts to recheck those temps though. I've had BPs stop eating for 8 and 12 months before and they...

Queen B is a real beauty Dave!! I like seeing the differences in how folks keep their critters. It shows me there's more than just one "right" way to...

I will add that I don’t use belly heat specifically because this fella has a habit of making little nests and swirling down to the bottom of the PVC....

Looking great Gio Sent from my SM-S928B using Tapatalk

Thank you. I have two hides for him in addition to the logs/bark decor that he can hide under as well. One on each of the sides the enclosure....

Feliz is still quite the handsome fellow Dave! Good to "see" you brother!

Bro! How's tings? Gem looks AMAZING!! Those colors are poppin! She looks healthy and well fed. I love a hearty carpet. Peace and blessings.

You can't go wrong with a carpet or boa. They're both perfect snakes to keep in my opinion. Carpets are the best display animals. If you're up for a...

If I missed it, I am sorry, but how long have had him? If you just had your first feed on 4-21-25, then feed him every 10-14 days for 3-4 consecutive...

How you are taking temps is important as well. Are you taking them with an IR temp gun? Are those ground temps? How often are you offering food?...

I can feel your frustration and I sympathize. Pics of your BP and his set up may help us advise you better. Include a description of his heating...

The chart in my A New Keeper's Guide to Ball Pythons suggests every 7 days until he's 500 g. Then, switch over to a small rats every 7-9 days. That...

He has pretty much been in the same set-up since he was born. Just larger as he grew. Right now he is in a 4x2x2 PVC enclosure. Daytime temps low 80/...

Based on your description: I suspect you have an issue with your enclosure setup and config. Smaller ball pythons are more tolerant of a wider range...
