Hasn't shed yet????

[Apophis]

Yea ive had my baby ball for about a month and a half and she hasn't shed yet? Was wondering y. And yes everything in her husbandry is spot on. Any feedback is appreciated

[Skittles1101]

Has she been eating? They grow at different rates, and if you are feeding smaller meals they won't grow as fast.

All snakes grow at their own pace. She will eventually shed for you

Yes she eats a fuzzy mouse f/t once a week and once I run out of the f/t I think I'm going to upgrade to live adult mouse. And thank you for helpin me.

I'd switch to rat pups, fuzzy mice are very small even for a baby...

Ok i think I probably will once I run out. Should I feed 2 fuzzies until then if shell take them?

[Skittles1101]

I would, a fuzzy mouse is barely a meal even for a baby. You could probably get away with feeding 2 until they are gone. I wouldn't switch to live from f/t, you should be able to find f/t rats. I found a local breeder on craigslist, and I pay SO much less than I do at pet stores. Good luck!

There's not any breeders ( snake or rat ) within 75 mile of me. I'm about to rescue two adult bps from a guy who has them both in the same tank. Do you would it be easier to breed them and euthanize them myself until I have a good supply stocked up in the freezer? Or is that not good? Its that or petsmart.

[Skittles1101]

If you have the room and the motivation to breed rats then it can't do any harm. If you have questions regarding breeding rats I'd ask around on here, I've talked to quite a few successful ones on here. Plus, it gives you control of what your snakes eat. Healthy rats = healthy snakes.

Ok thanks I think I'll start a new post right now
