To LGray23: I just saw the name of your ball pythons. That is so cute, and so sweet I just got diabetes.

LOL thanks! I like to keep it interesting.

Edit: Fear not, I would NEVER use a heat rock for her

YAY! I've seen some terrible things happen. I /may/ threaten my friends with death(or never letting them own a reptile ever) if they use IT heat rocks.

Yup, BPs tend to curl up when they don't want to be touched, or if they feel threatened. Some others will just strike willynilly because well, you might eat them. Omnomnom.

Before I go to bed (@&*# this place is addictive), one last thing.

I have had a request for pictures. I LOVE pictures!!!! Besides, I would like to show off Banana. My dear Dragon was a MODEL - literally. Would pose or be posed and think nothing of it.

Banana... kind of lacks eyelids....

Should I use a flash? Would that frighten her? She's quite young and small - and SO loving already - I don't want to scare the little thing.

This is one of the rare times I will pull out my favorite made-up word.

ADORBZ! And very creative!



---The flash doesn't bother my babies, but I would suggest taking a picture with it aimed away from her and see what she does. If she recoils, don't use it. Otherwise, I'd say its fine - BUT If you take pictures in a room that's lit by other lights, you'll get a better representation of her colors.

They all lack eyelids I don't think the flash bothers them that much...I hope not because I take pictures all the time! May I also suggest another site that could be helpful for you? Iherp is great for tracking if your interested. Here's my page, you can see all my critters here if you need a fix

Just wanted to say

Everyone has been spot-on with advice - no surprise there! I love this place - everyone is so helpful and yes, it is very addictive!

I am surprised though that one thing was not picked up on - at least not that I saw. You mentioned you just got Banana on Monday. You really should not handle her at all for at least a week. That means no baths tonight and no hug in the morning! Even if she seems to enjoy the handling (and some balls do), she needs the time to settle in and relax. You'll get a better feed response and she'll be better off. I know how hard it is though!

Welcome again!

I didn't even put two and two together. Thanks for mentioning that!
Also - If you decide to get another BP (seriously, they are like candy), quarantine is important, and not handling for a week or so will definitely help with that.

I don't know how to post links but this thread helped me. You can put it in your search on the right hand of the page. I hope the pictures come up for you I couldn't get them to come up on my computer. You can read it anyway and get an idea of how to do a good setup. Welcome to the forum and the addiction
