    Question Dose my BP need calcium?

    I looked around some sites and I have heard that some ball pythons need calcium. Do I need to go get some?

    Snakes get everything they need from their preys no supplement needed.

    This.

    The mouse/rat feeder's bones serve as an excellent source of calcium for the snake. No sunlight needed as a result, ambient room light is perfectly fine for your ball. You can get some D3 ReptiCalcium (cheap containers for around $10) for the months that your python goes off feed (sprinkling a tiny amount on the prey during the winter months), but even that is unnecessary. Just feed once a week and you're good to go.
