Photo #454 The stone is a basalt variation from my area and the BP is a Pastel/Fire/Het Clown. And someone asked me if Ghost and Orange Ghost...

Snakes are a lot quieter than parrots...quite a change. I'm sorry you lost your pal of 27 years, & it's quite normal to panic when a new snake won't...

Ok, thank you so much! I was scared of doing too little, so I will definitely cut back. I don't want her to have any more added stress.

I will post an update once I get her to eat and post new/better pictures of both her and the enclosure adjustments so that people who have similar...

Okay no problem on waiting to handle her, I just want her to adjust well. I also scaled back the ambient lighting by 50% so it's not so bright.

I vote bad, not bad bad. Your plan sounds good, if a bit excessive. I would think that vetericyn once after the betadine bath should be sufficient....

I suggest you wait until she has three successful feedings before handling her.

I am going to purchase the new hides this evening and make a humid hide for her as well out of some Tupperware I have. I checked the calibration on...

I'm not convinced that you have a problem at all. Ball pythons take a while to settle into their new enclosures. You've only had her for 10 days. ...

Lucky you got a feeding card at all. I would ask the breeder about the exact details on this. Was the FT prey a mouse, or something else? How was...

Your enclosure looks really nice- for us :) but it's too big & open for a new young BP to appreciate. It's really important to get the right kind &...

I hope I am adding this picture correctly, this is my first forum. This is her enclosure and thank you for the help. I am going to clutter the heck...

That's a very thorough description, but pics would still help us to advise you better. This thread will show you how to post them:...

I'm sure a lot of people will have some good suggestions, but, in the meanwhile...my immediate advice: 1. No surface temperature in your...

How do nutrients get exported? Is there a drain to remove waste water with organic breakdown products and pathogens? I wouldn't think that would work...

Occasionally, we get posts from members seeking advice about how to set up a bio-active enclosure. So, please describe how you set up your...

Fully bio-active. CUCs in the soil process poop in about 5 days unless it gets smooshed into the ground. Jack’s enclosure is 2 years old. ...

Very nice looking enclosures. I'd term them 'naturalistic', not 'bioactive', though, since there's not apparently capacity to process waste fully...

How is this baby now? Would love updates. This is the first time I've heard of partho babies!

I'd say 8 years or so now. It took us a while to get it right. It definitely didn't work well in a glass enclosure. I mean it works but is a lot...

Beautiful enclosures! I, frequently, hear about people setting up bio-active enclosures for their ball pythons. It's much less common that I hear...

I always like to look, but, I very rarely buy anything at flea markets-aside from some cheap fossils and the occasional uranium glass dish. I saw a...

Still no signs of mites, alive or dead. It seems to have killed them all on day 1, with no resurgence whatsoever. I moved Nim to his new pvc...

I would love an update, particularly, regarding the effectiveness of the afoxolaner (NexGard) treatment.
