    No such thing as a stupid question?
    Whoever said there's no such thing as a stupid question has never visited the Ball Python Owners group on Facebook.

    Happy Easter!

    "Can they eat crickets?"

    "They don't have teeth, right?"

    "Why can't you just feed them fruits/vegetables/prepared food/not rodents?"

    "You know those things get 15 feet long, don't you?"

    Ya those 15 foot long ball pythons are a real hassle. Always in their hides.

    And the amount of veggies they eat is insane!

    My bps are so picky. Do you know how it is to find enough organic kale for a 15 foot snake? Then you have to chew it for the snake because otherwise they have to gum it, seeing as they no teeth.

    And kale is tough to chew to begin with! They're such expensive pets, mine need to take a bath in draught beer at least once a day to keep them from being thirsty...

    And they always need those crazy obscure microbrews. Picky bastards. (Try gentle pulsing the kale in a food processor. Not too much though or its too smooth and they won't eat it except through a crazy straw.)

    I think your problem lies in the crazy straw. What color do you use? If you are using any color other than red it effects their ocular stimulation levels and causes a chemical reaction that makes them unable to process smooth kale...smooth kale is much more nutritious than regular chopped kale. Anyone not using a red crazy straw to feed their 15 foot toothless ball python smooth kale every 17th minute of every 13th hour is guilty of animal abuse and should not be able to own a snake. I know a guy who breeds his pythons and went to school for snakes that told me this and he knows more than all of you.
