Right! Many people wanted to name her/him timber but to me it didn't seem fit. And Rob Zombie is one of my favorite rock singers.

Thank you, I make sure my baby fed every 2 weeks.

2 weeks? How old and what size is he. From the pictures he looks like he should be being fed every 5-7 days. Oh and what size are you feeding?

Medium is rarely if ever necessary for a male. My male is 12yrs this year, eats a small rat every ~14 days and still fasts for months on end at times.

Well when I got mine I did some research and it told me that I should feed my snake every 10-14 days. If I'm doing something wrong, please help me. I don't wanna lose my baby.

Small rats every 10-14 days should be fine.

There's no need to worry, as he looks perfectly round and healthy :D Im not very experienced so someone whos been keeping longer probably has some wiser advise. I would feed every 10 days but its really up to you. Ball pythons have adapted to be able to go of feed for months so a few days wont hurt him.

Oh I kno. I used to have ball pythons and a albino red tail boa and he would sometimes go a month or longer without eating. I never have no issues with feedings.

Nope. Need to see a vet or an experienced breeder to probe the animal.

Oh okay. I'll have to take him/her to my local pet store and see if they can cause they breed their own snakes and sell them. Need to wait for it to warm up first here in Georgia.

You can pop their cloaca and you can tell from that.

Id be careful doing this yourself though, you can injure your snake if you don’t know what you’re doing. Not saying it’s not a viable option but in my book it’s better to have an experienced breeder or vet teach you to do it.

YouTube is a great resource, nothing against learning from these guys (I know o have) but if something goes wrong it’s always better to have an experienced pair of hands to take over.

Just my take though, to each their own [emoji4]

Well I've done it before and my snake just really didn't care cause I tried to do it without hurting zombie. So I may try again.
