Firstly, I'm not new to keeping ball pythons, but I am still pretty new to this forum lol. Anyways this is just a question I have and the theory actually sounds realistic, not that I'm going to do it though! Some breeders dust calcium on their rodents once a month or once in a while before feeding their snakes. Now before everyone goes crazy, yes I know just a rodent alone is perfect for a snake , I agree, and supplements can do more harm than good. Again not saying I am going to go this!!!! Anyways, could this method be used for sickly babies, once a month or every other month? or females during breeding season because after all egg shells are made from calcium right? I know we technically do not know everything about ball pythons, though we breed them for years, still doesn't mean we know everything. What do you guys think about the subject, interesting right?
