    checking up on them

    how often do you open your rack drawers and take a look at your animals?

    how often do you just peek through the bins just to look at your animals, not nessesarily for the purpose of checking water/poops/exc?

    comments?

    Re: checking up on them

    I check on each of them a few times a day. By checking I mean opening the tub and seeing what they are up to.

    Re: checking up on them

    That's really weird, because I posted this same exact topic 5 minutes ago on another Ball Python forum, at RC Reptiles. Seriously, freaking weird.

    I check on mine at least 4 times a day. Everychance I get I take al ook at him. Mine's not in a rack though, a 20g long.

    Re: checking up on them

    assuming I am home, twice a day (morning and night)
    poop patrol, water check, temp check, attitude check
    this is especially important during the low-humidity winter months when I take those two opportunities to check humidity and mist if needed.

    Re: checking up on them

    Once a day. I check for poop, sheds, water levels, ect. If I have time during the day, I'll check in a second time.

    Re: checking up on them

    really depends for me. Usually at least every other day if it is just a growing juvenile. If its a breeding adult, usually almost every day and couple times a day if I'm expecting eggs or an ovulation.

    Twice a day one time for the fun and love of the hobby and the other for maintenance.
