Possible buy.

Guys i have a problem. I am new here for i'm usally on Redtailedboa.com but anyways i might be getting a ball python who is 2 years old. But here are the downsides

1. She uses a heatrock in the winter for the snake
2. The snake eats LIVE rats.
3. She feeds it once every 3 weeks

The good side

1. Its really close to were i live.
2. I will be able to see the snake before the buy
3. I get the setup and snake for only 80 dollars.

Guys i need info on changeing the snake to f/d
I need help for ideas on what i should espect for this will be my first BP

Make sure there are no thermal burns, and dump the rock in the trash.

I don't know about this one, try to get him on a schedule thats ok with you I guess.

I'm confused ... Why is eating LIVE a downside?

Umm, I think I know why he doesn't like Live

I've seen him at rtb.net, the place where live is a sin... lol.

( I am NOT saying that site sucks or whatever, just saying they are uptight about live...)

Hehe....Adam, you're a stinker! :P


Let's not turn this into a live vs f/t debate. Some people prefer to feed f/t and that's fine, too.

I absolutely agree 100% ... I just don't want to be judged for doing what works for me. ;)

Adam,
The Calvary will be here shortly for your detainment. LOL, almost everyone hates to feed live. I raised a beautiful Red Tail Boa into adulthood feeding live and only had ONE incident in uuuhhm about five years. The incident was MY fault not the rat nor the snakes. I did not know my RTB was sleeping and whap the rat bit her on the nostril. Everything was ok with a little triple antibiotic but I switched to frozen thawed shortly after that. That was pretty much my turning point. That’s all for today folks. My :2cents:

Oh i thought that snakes get bitten all the time by live.. sorry XD i didn't know what would be better. Thanks guys i guess i seen the light? :groinkick
