Ball Python acting different

You don't need to adjust temps after a feed. They need to remain constant 24/7. 92-94 hot side and 82-84 cool side. Do not let temps go below 80 if possible. I can not emphasis this enough!!

Accidental ingestion of substrate shouldn't be an issue. Remember they digest bones. ;) A little fibrous material should be no sweat to them. Keeping a record of you husbandry is a great idea. If you have more still feel uncomfortable about your snake, go and have a checkup done. It's always good to have a vet familiar with your pet and if you ever have an emergency you won't be scrambling to find one.

With 25 years of experience working with literally thousand of ball pythons over those years, I couldn't disagree more.

A regurg is a sign of a very serious problem. If you care at all about your animal, why wouldn't you at least get it checked out?

There isn't a single disease that a ball python can get that just "goes away" on it's own.

Those temp guns can sometimes be off by as much as 5 degrees. IMO, a cheap digital thermometer actually works much better.

I am taking to the vet tonight. I just saw that she is dehydrated and has a bit of a scratch. I prey all gos well.

Hope your snake's going to be OK.


Thought your humidity was a bit on the high side. My BPs have their humidity about 55% most of the time except when they're in shed when I whack it up. As soon as they've shed I let the humidity come down again to 55%.

What's your opinion Adam?

Hey,
The vet visit went great she looked dehydrated because she has a lot of skin (to much) so when she movees you can see extra skin. It is because she grew from 75 ounces to 175 ounces since i have HER!!!! I am so happy. Though yesterdfay when i took her i saw a scratch but it was already healing and i am putting antibiotic cream on. They did a fecal and there were no parasites. He said she may have regurged because of lack of undertank heat.

That's great news!!!
