Both of my Ball Pythons are doing well. No breeding this season Andromeda is only reaching 1400 grams and is looking rather thin as she is on a hunger strike or something only taking a rat when she feels like it. I would rather wait then risk her health by trying to breed her besides a dead female ball python does me no good so my breeding project will wait till next year. I needed them to feel more comfortable in their cages and i think that the aspen bedding and some plastic hides where not doing to the trick. So I layed down news paper and crumpled up a bunch of news paper and put it in there and they seem to do better. Since then andromeda has stopped "soaking" (actually hiding) in her water bowl and they seem to like to peak through the spaces between the pieces of paper plus its easier to clean up not to meantion cheaper. Freckles my male is still big and i have changed his diet from 1 small rat a week to a medium rat bi-monthly and i stopped giving him Andromeda's uneaten rats. Otherwise they are doing great. I have been out a while so how are all y'all's critters?
