My FIRST snake's FIRST meal!!!

My CB BP has eaten his first meal since coming under my care, and introducing me to the fascinating world of herpetology. Yesterday I saw him drinking, so now my fears are at ease, he seems healthy and happy. Had trouble getting him to eat frozen so a live fuzzy was used (looked almost too old to be a fuzzy to me). His name is Maurice Moss, and I'm only assuming his sex, with no plans to breed ATM. Let me know if anyone gets the nomenclatural reference :-)

Just so you know, he only had a modified box for a hide the first day, he now has a proper hide.

I use a red bulb 24/7 sorry for the tint in video. Both pic and vid taken with my tablet's cameras

Congrats and welcome to the site! :gj:

Thanks so much :-)

My snake loves makeshift hides :)

Congrats and :welcome: That's a hopper mouse or so. Keep the same or use small adult mice. He will do just fine.

Regards,

B

Just want to say that box hides are just fine to use as long as they are a tight fit for your ball python! They work well if you can't find hides of the right sizes at pet stores.

Congrats on your awesome new ball python. :gj:

Thanks I'll keep in mind that boxes will work if I need something in the future in a hurry. I'll continue to use hoppers. Thanks for the warm welcome

XD Nice vid. I like that it wasn't all wobbly and making me carsick, ha ha! I love that the mouse was all: "What's in here?" WHAM!

My snakes are always freaking me out when they do that XD Just as I'm ready to take the rodent out they go all crazy and slam it.

I do not get the name ref. what is it? ^^

Hahaha oh its just a TV show called the IT crowd. Its a British comedy about computer nerds in the it department at a big corporation. Hilarious. If you have Netflix, it should still be available for instant streaming.

Thanks for the kind words!
