Sorry didnt want to make a bunch of threads, so I did one big one


1. Scale rot- how long does a snake have to sit in damp subtrate till it develops scale rot?

my snakes keep tipping over their water, I know i need a good non tip-able bowl. would it be okay for me to dump the water out the tub that was spilt, leaving the newspaper damp and let it dry over night, or is 24 hours of a damp/wet newspaper risking it for my snake, just got tired of always throwing away newspaper because its wet?

2. Any problems feeding live ASFs, will they harm my 1-2 year old pythons??

I am breeding ASFs now, I know i can feed small asfs, but what about adults ASFs? I have 6 month olds - 2 year old pythons, what size ASFs are recommended for what age python. Could I feed a adult ASF that weighs about 70 grams to my 2 year old that weighs 700 grams safely? I know my python will grabbed her immediatly but wat about the biting while suffocating, will it cuase some serious bite wounds??

3. Sick mice, how to treat a sick mouse thats about to die?

I can always notice a sick mouse before it dies, I get all mine from Petco, some get sick within a day or 2 others a few weeks later, their eyes stay shut, become non-active, and just look like there shivering. What do you do when you see that, how to make them better, all still young mice? I just feed them off immediately now, cause they always seem to die a day later. And YES, I always clean their bins weekly, food/water is always there for them.
