    As I said they ‘tend’ to be nervous critters ..

    Best observe them in very low / dim light and move extremely slowly around them

    The majority of my snakes are in my man-cave .. so I’ll be working ( in low light ) at the computer and most of them will be out exploring in the surrounding vivs

    Re: Ball python doesn't really come out for long anymore...

    oh i do realize how shy mine is every time i handle her..today was cage cleaning day, and since i never see my B.P, i was surprised what i found, she looked "Bigger", so i weighed her, she is up 20 grams, in about 6 weeks since i last weighed her, i also found under her hide, a "Full" piece of shed, all this goes on and im clueless as to whats happening because she never comes out. I held her for about 6-7 minutes, she buried her head for about 3 minutes, finally she started to flick and explore, i didnt want to push it anymore. I found something on her skin that looks like a soft blister that people get on their feet, i touched it real lightly and she didn't flinch, so i think??? its not hurting her, anyone else ever see anything like a small bubble on their B.P's skin?

    May I suggest you start a new (separate) thread for this & post pics if possible- one blister can easily turn into more & should be addressed promptly. Skin diseases in snakes are no fun & often the result of excessive humidity + dirty cage (pathogens) that thrive in the warm temperatures provided & needed by BPs. Or it might indicate something more systemic, so please do not ignore this. Snakes often give very subtle symptoms for us to go by. It's good though that your BP has gained some weight- I take it she's been eating?

    I'm glad to hear it, but for this thread, it's just off topic, along with our previous posts.. Thanks for starting a separate thread- it's easier for members to find, comment & help with.
