First Mouse

-Yawn- lol. That was after he ate the first mouse.


I'll get some better pics in a few days when hes digested them a bit lol.

Do you offer him hides at all? I also don't see any thermometers for measuring his temps.

Not good to have the cat on top - they could fall through that screen.

Other than that - he's a nice looking snake.

PLEASE read this and try to provide the proper environment for your ball python:

I would hate for anything bad to happen to such a great looking snake.

Ok there is no hiding spot in there because when we have mice in there and a hiding spot he just hides and doesn't eat the mice. Our cat isn't allowed on top of the cage except for when we are around and he knows it lol. And besides, that wire is very strong. xP I could sit on it and it would barely bend. And about the size of the cage, we had a bigger cage but the glass got broken so we can't use that one anymore. =/ And we do have a thermomiter. Its in the corner hidden by the wood top. Its fairly little.

Looks healthy enough. I also take out all hides when feeding my snakes. The whole top on that cage isn't screened, right? It's wood, right?

Yeah your BP needs at least 2 hiding spots, digital themometer and a humidity meter. Also, you need to make sure you clean up after any BM's they make. To keep their enviorment as clean as possible.

About that mess.. xP I checked with my sister and that wasn't today? I dont know. Its not in there now and I didn't clean it up lol

Its wood with a bit of screen in the middle. Not a lot. There is enough wood that it is very sturdy and the top is 'pinned' down. Not exactly pinned.. There is a hole in the cage and in the wood that we put a pin through and it holds very well.

With ball pythons, it is best not to disturb their enclosure environment before feeding. That will create unneeded stress on the animal and can result in the ball python not eating. They are ambush preditors.....that means they need a place to ambush from.

Oh. I didn't know that lol. Our snake just waits for a mouse to come a little bit closer and then it attacks. It never seemed that he got stressed when we take out his hidey and climbing branch thingy majiger.
