My Other New Blood (hah..)

As you guys probably know I returned the other bloods to the pet store I work at and I will resume care for them there. They havn't eaten for me and look like they havn't eaten ever, possibly. So I sought out a blood for myself (still taking good care of the other little guys).

Well here she is:

looks good!

I got a 1.1 pair of bloods a little while ago. I think im gonna get into them more than the rest of mine.

She is pretty :D

Gorgeous little girl, I'd replace that water bowl though! That crack is damn near impossible to clean right and could harbor some nasty bacteria!

Please don't use any sort of tape in a snakes enclosure. A flower pot saucer will make a far better hide, and will fit any snake better, making them feel more secure.

Blood python babies are quite sensitive and very shy. They want to hide and feel something surround them, I would say more so than a ball python.

I hope this one eats for you, but stick in there, there are a lot of helpful people on this forum. :gj:

The tape hide is temporary. I know I know. Its been washed so many times there is no excess gooyness on it the tape doesn't peel or anything. Excuses excuses right?

I'm going to stick with this one for sure. The reason I was so impatient with the others is because I have this gut feeling I shouldn't be buying pets from the store I work at that have never eaten. The owners a good guy and all but I think people take advantage of him. I mean he doesn't even ask people if the baby snakes he gets have ever eaten. Due to this we have a butload of sick ball babys. I got the feeling someone had a litter of bloods and the two at the shop were the ones the breeder couldn't get eating so he decides to sell them to a petstore to get rid of them. Am I crazy for thinking that deep into it? :rolleye2:

Yeah, I had the vacant cage open all day. Put her in it, and sprayed that mug down..lol.

I would never keep a blood in 40% but now shes in a smaller tub. I never felt right about that cage, seemed kind of huge. After reading baby bloods like being nice and 'cramped' I put her in a much smaller enclosure, about the length of her body.

Thanks 2k!

if your cage is glass and in an area where there is foot traffic it may never eat. young ones are very easily disturbed and when they're disturbed they won't eat.

as others have said they need to feel secure.

although i have had great success on paper towel as a substrate, if your snakes won't eat then you may want to try mulch or some sort of soil/dirt/peat mixture. refer to ross's reproductive husbandry of pythons and boas.

The cage was covered 24/7.

Now shes in a shoebox tub with my fav substrate (eco-earth). She ate last night :)

I moved her because the10 gal looked way to big for her. it was probably intimidating
