Rubbing

[Max12069]

My ball python has been rubbing his head against the walls of his cage. He usually does it in the same spots so should i put a rag or something in those spots so he wont damage his skin rubbing.

That’s sometimes how they loosen the skin shortly before shedding !!



You could always put some olive oil over the patch of viv to reduce friction

Have you addressed the too high of temperature issues that you are having yet? I noticed in a different thread that you said your hot spot was at 95. That is way to hot.

I have its at 92 now with cold spot at 78

Just don’t see how that’s feasible .. how would you fix the rag in place ( not tape !!)

92 is probably a bit warm.

I would try to get that down to 88-89 and see if that helpsm

Especially since your measurement might be a few degrees off...depending both on how (the accuracy of your thermometer) & where you're reading it.

I would just place the rag in the corner where he usually rubs. Also i will. I just went to oetco and got everything i needed also got bigger feeders.
