How old are your snakes? Welcome to the site!!!!

I dont know how old they are but i think less then year old.

Care to share your setup? Pictures of the snakes? Got any questions?
Wolfy

Yes, im also very intrested in hearing how the setup is. I love hearing about all the ways people do theres.

What do you mean setup?

Ok.
What do you keep your and your brother's snake in?
How do you heat it? How hot do you keep it? What sort of bedding(substrate) do you use? How many hideboxes? What sort of feeding? YOu know.. tell us about your snakes.

The cage is a 10 gal and they both get each a cage each cage has 2 caves on on the cold and warm side. I heat it by a heat pad at bottom of the cage and a light bulb. It is at about 90F. It is in aspen sheddings. i feed it once a week.

have you read our caresheet?

http://www.ball-pythons.net/modules....warticle&id=59

keeping two snakes in the same enclosure is not a good idea at all. they can share parasites, diseases and mites and there's a chance one could eat the other.

heat rocks are not recommended with ball pythons... so you should remove that right away. and two hides are recommended for each ball python. one on the warm side with a UTH underneath and one on the cool side.

how often are you feeding?

Jeez. How many things could you be doing wrong so far?
Seperate them. They each need an enclosure. How big are they? For typical pet store ball pythons a 55 gallon tank is too large. Heat rocks will burn them. Get a under-tank-heater, ditch the heat rock. Get rid of the sand. Get a snake bedding, like cypress mulch, NOT pine, NOT cedar.
They need hide boxes on the warm and cool sides of the enclosure and they need humidity. In their OWN enclosures.
Now you have a project to keep ya busy.

So you were just lying the first time you posted, then switched it to what? Get your jollies?
That's really immature and stupid.
People like this is why I stop bothering to try to help newbies.

I think that means they're separated.
EDIT: my bad, i skipped a page. :doh:
Can't answer for you, but if they are together, that can become serious. Did y'all do any research before getting these? It really doesn't look like it. Looks liek you're more prepared for a gecko.

wow that's a little different than what you had before you edited. you said they were sharing a 55 gallon tank, with one hide that one used and the other sat on top of and they had a heat rock for warmth. oh and use sand for substrate.

so which is it?

Sorry, but that is a great way to end up with sick or even dead snakes. You never, ever, EVER want to use a heat rock inside a snake's cage. They get extremely hot (110ºF+, enough to burn a snake and your finger), and it does nothing except heat itself, not the cage around it. Also, cohabitating snakes (keeping in the same enclosure) is always a bad idea, as is only providing one hide. One of the two snakes will become dominant over the other and will get what it wants, i.e. the best spot in the cage. Cannibalism is also a possibility, although rare. If one of the snakes happened to get sick, the other would get sick. If one were to poop irregularly, how would you know which one it was? You may "save" a little money by keeping two to a cage, but the drawbacks far exceed that one so-called benefit.

Once again, I'm sorry if you take this the wrong way, but we only want what is best for the snakes, starting with them each having their own home. Check out the caresheet we have on ball pythons for further information regarding their requirements.

Edit: haha, I went to write this but then put the computer on screen saver to go have dinner. I come back and everyone's already responded to what he said! LOL And depending on which story of his is true, my comment may not be relevant to this discussion anymore.

Well, it's not so much that you lied, but you are doing your snakes an injustice by having ill-fitting housing for them. Please, tell your dad or show this page to him about what you need to do to have these snakes in well fitted, separate tanks.

you have a PM (private message) kidwithtwoballs... ;)

I thought every body was going crazzy until some one else posted what he said the BEFOR he edited. I agree with others, dont lie to try and make yourself look good. Everyone on this site is here to help out new and experienced owners. So next time, instead of lieing about it so obviously, let us give you some pointers so you snakes will live and not die.
Thanks and I hope you listen

i know now. thank you

Heres my question, are you going to put in ANY effort in doing what everyone here has told you. I would really start with removing that heat rock real quick.

so... how about being honest and share your REAL set up with us. this way we can make suggestions so that you and your snakes can grow old together :P

we aren't here to criticize you, we are here cause we truly want to help you. :sunny:

I hope you come out and tell us the truth on and how you have your snakes set up. We can not help you if you lie.

Also I know you said that was your brother and you dancing in your sig. I've seen this short clip on youtube a while back. Also I was looking though your pictures.... if that is you in that movie clip, then why do you say this is your picture???



I agree with Wolfy. I don't like liars. Also new people who come on here asking for help but just lie.... it makes a lot of people not want to help other new people out just in fear that they are just wasting their time. Not cool!

You mean this one?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDr76VjPUVs

Wow, I don't know what to think. You say that you and your brother are the dancing kids. Apparently, that's not true. You say that you have them separated after saying that they share a tank. I'm not even sure if you have snakes now. :confuzd:

Kid..... your pathetic. You come here asking for help then we catch you in 2 lies. WOW!!! Good one buddy.

See? Try to be helpful. This is probaly either a troll just getting his jollies watching people fall over themselves trying ot help the animals we love. OR It's some kid thinking he is marvelously clever to lie about everything on the web. EIther way its a total waste of time. I wouldn't be surprised to find that he doesn't have snakes. Next he'll probaly post a picture of one of NERD's albino/pieds and say that's his snake, and he got it for $4.
Rolling eyes and tossing hands in air in frustration is,
