Ok so I finally figured out how to post. I think.
Ive had my BP for a couple months now. But there’s still a lot of questions I have.
To begin, my ball Python is about a year and a half. He’s a Pastel Banana BP. Doesn’t have a problem eating really, he always goes for the mouse (I feed him frozen hoppers), he misses when he strikes a lot. But eventually gets it. But he does try to attack me during or after he’s fed. Like he’ll snap at me when I walk by the tank, I’ve read that it’s because he’s in his “feeding frenzy” which I do believe because when being handled he’s never tried to strike me. It does just get frustrating though when he misses the mouse on the Tongs and the mouse falls right by his face but he still tries to strike at me instead.So I guess my first question is if that’s normal???
Second, I live in a basement, so humidity is basically nonexistent. I have a humidifier that I leave between my bed and his tank and it’ll raise humidity but the moment I shut it off Bc his tank shows a good humidity level, the levels drop back down drastically. Anyone have advice on how I can keep the levels up in his tank? It’s a square shaped 20 gallon. Is moss ok? Also I’ve tried misting spray. Doesn’t help enough.
And my last question, (sorry for the rant), is that I used to have a red heating bulb. I heard those aren’t the best Bc the lighting. Well it broke anyway and it was late and the only place open had a ceramic heating bulb. It keeps good temp and there’s no light but I just wanted to make sure those are ok for BPs???
If you’ve read this whole thing, thank you. Lol and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated![]()
