New here

Hey im new here just wanted to say hi maybe give a little info about myself :)

Well im a 16 year old male who lives in San Antonio, Texas only been keeping herps for about 3 years but ive into them for as long as I can remember

I have 3 snakes a normal ball python, a common boa constrictor, and a snow corn snake along with 2 dogs (docson and chujaha) Cant spell either lol, and a cat

Welcome to the forum! Happy New Year :D

Welcome to the site. You'll have to post some pics of the bp and the corn too! Although you may be working on that! ;) I hope you enjoy the site, there are a lot of very nice people here. :D

Bienvenido al FORO (Welcome to the forum) :D

Welcome! Only three snakes? ;)

Welcome to the site :)

welcome... sounds like you are already an addict!

new here too... have a question my python is yawing and very cranky right now i think the python is shedding but im new to this help is needed send all avaliable info please

what kind of python is he? did you see his eyes go blue, belly go pink and then turn back to almost normal?(that's what they do before they shed)

is he yawning because his throat is block and he cant breathe? is there lots of bubbles around/in his mouth.

we need more info to help you.

he looks just like the one in your profile... and he started shedding last night found pieces all around the cage... no bubbles around the mouth and the inside looks clear.. is he cranky cuz he is shedding???

Yeah im gonna be postin pics of the ball and corn once I can get some more decent pics of them...The computer I had most of the pics on (this comp) had to have windows XP re installed so I lost everything but I had my boa pics on a dif comp so they were all safe

And yes im already an addict lol and 3 snakes is 2 more then im supposed to have

3 years ago I needed to keep a reptile for 3 months for a reptile study merit badge for boy scouts but instead of telling my dad that I told him it needed to be a snake and I dident wanna borrow anyones so he let me get one..then about a year later I asked if I could get another he said no but mom knowing he wouldent care once we got it let me get one anyway then I got my corn and then another year later I got my boa lol only reason im stopping here is cause ive ran out of room in my room

ok, what you should do is soak him in luke warm water and let him rub the skin off by himself. if they shed in a bunch of pieces it usually means there is not enough humidity in the cage. when a ball python is shedding the humidity should be about 75%. when they are not shedding it should be around 55%.

P.S. your python is a ball python:). you might wanna check out the caresheet on ball pythons on this site.
