Yeah, I used to give Bravecto? to my dogs for flea and tick prevention, but the collar seemed easier. May go back.

How about in the BP Pictures forum- https://ball-pythons.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?63-BP-Pictures, & right under the sticky "How to post...

You're most welcome! It's just really sad that people weren't even warned about this. It's not a product that I've ever used on my dogs, but no...

Sorry, Wrongpython - not trying to hijack the thread at all, but this might be helpful. Your snakes don't listen and sit still on command? What...

Thanks Bogertophis! I sent this article to Katie yesterday and found it in the news. I didn't even think to post here :(. Of course, Katie...

Thanks! I wish there was a technique I could share, but most of the time the good, sit-pretty photos come from Kuzco being shy (and hunkering down in...

He's so beautiful, & it's really fun to look back on the day you first unwrapped his little blue self...you sure made a great choice with this one! ...

Same! I never want to post pictures because I can never seem to get them as high of quality as what I'm seeing others posting without tons of effort.

I would hope that a lot less than 100g of that is food. Weaned rat at 30-49g should be the correct size, maybe a small if he was >500 empty. Seems...

Oh yeah, I agree. By "fairly recent" I just meant that it wasn't some 40 year (BP lifespan) study. ;) He sure wouldn't have popped this out...

The way I interpreted that part of the article was not that feeding them more often requires less energy, but that feeding a smaller prey item uses...

Not sure how you get your animals to sit so still for photos... feel free to come visit and instruct my gang on a photo shoot etiquette Great...

That is a damn good looking animal. I still feel like my boas haven’t grown at all, but it’s the glacial pace at which they do that makes it seem...

I sure miss going to those reptile expos at Del Mar. But I don't need the temptation, either. ;)

Best to weight them "empty" (after they take a dump after latest meal). The weight of the meal being digested gives an inaccurate weight (too high),...

He now weighs 560grams from 385. So she has gained 175 grams in 21 days, but her food guess does not count right? So minus 100grams for the rat give...

True I agree with you there. The white skin and blue eyes is pretty cool. Really let’s you see the snakes eyes and them moving around. Kinda like cat...

Me too! :bow: :rofl:

You got a Ball python, the pickiest snake when it comes to eating (arguably) to eat reptilink, a rat sausage? Color me impressed:clap:

My impression (& I might be wrong?) was that this "experiment" is fairly recent- ie. there is no data yet to be had as far as any possible influence...

Ah, ok. Sounds good. Thanks again.

Given what he’s been eating and his body type currently, I would go to weaned rats now and small rats when he’s leaner and heavier. If you have...

Thank you! I will get him switched over to small rats next week.

Thank you very much. I'll invest in a small scale and get his feeding slowed down. I appreciate it!

Thank you! I will get him switched over to small rats next week.

1. Grows the bps up faster so they can breed sooner I'm sure this is possible but growth doesn't equate to maturity. 2. requires less energy to...
