Hello everybody,
I got my first ball python. She is a spider and her name is MJ. I have been looking at all the stickies, trying to get everything right for her. The guy at the reptile shop said she is a year old, but he also said it is a male but the Vet. probed and found to be a female. I got a 36x17 viv set up for her as per Glass tank setup. her hot hide is 90 degrees and her cool hide is 81 degrees, ambient is about 81 also. All ran by a herpstat.
She took her second meal for me today, she eats F/T small rats. No problem. But then instead of going to the hot hide like the first time, she went to the water bowl and slept in the water for hours. I got the temp gun out to check the temp of the water was 80 degrees. She is in the hot hide now, but can this cause problems right after a meal??
Thanks for all your help.
