Re: 5 month old ball python
well I would work on the tank asap... get her smaller hides(yes plural) especially if you are going to use that large of a tank and make sure you clutter it with sticks and stuff... idealy you should get a 10g with two identical small hides like this one make sure you get UTHs and get the temps right then let her settle in for a week or so before you do anything with her

Re: 5 month old ball python
at her size start her on one fuzzy every 4 days. One she has a handle on them move up a size gradually till shes big enough to take adult mice or rat pups.

Re: 5 month old ball python

she looks very unhealthy, and barely moves at all. it looks like shes going to pass away should i see a vet after a couple of weeks of not eating? because im pretty sure she hasnt ate for more than the 2 weeks that the guy said .

Re: 5 month old ball python
My god she looks smaller than my hatchling!
Can you post a picture of her tank setup? There might be some things we could recommend to you that will help the snake fel safer and hopefully eat sooner and better.

Re: 5 month old ball python
Looks like she just needs a few good meals. Ball pythons generally don't move around that much, I think she should be fine if given proper care.

Did he say that he actually fed her with rodents? If he's totally clueless, he could've been providing her with crickets or something.
How is she doing today? That is such a sad picture of her. She's been on my mind ever since I read your post yesterday.

yup, he told me he was feeding her f/t mouse hoppers, then he said he hasnt fed her for 2 weeks because he was 'F...ED' up the past couple of days.
good news though, i got her to eat a mouse hopper today ! although it took her nearly 2 hours to finally swallow it all.
