Yawning?

[Crazy4Herps]

I want to integrate reptiles into the classroom

A teacher is a great job. A hs biology teacher is on my "list". Sure, they don't get paid as much as some, but that's not what counts. You want to do something you enjoy, which may not neccessarily come with a great paycheck. Anyways, I think that child reptile education is very important. Learn about which are pets, which aren't, proper husbandry, etc, etc. That's great! Good luck with everything!

Btw, according to my shop, tomorrow is Kratos' feeding day. Being that I bought him today,would it be smarter to wait until next thursday to feed so I don't risk a regurge due to all the stress?

Yeah, I'd definitely wait a week. It's worth it to avoid a possible regurge.

Thank you very much! And the same goes to you. Major props fro being able to handle such a school load. I don't have to patience to learn all that needs to be learned to be a doctor of any kind. And thank you for all the advice. It's uplifting knowing I'm doing things correctly, and not risking a beautiful creature's life.

Bp's yawn to relieve building pressure in their body. If they didn't, they'd explode. Seen it happen. True story.

What? I've never heard of such a thing ever before!

[rabernet]

lol, I couldn't help but laugh at your name Monty. When I was thinking of a name, Monty Python came to mind, but then I thought about how origonal that name was, and how many millions of BPs were stuck with that name. I ended up naming him Kratos. Kratos is the God of Strength, and when I first got him, I couldn't get him off my finger because he was hugging so tightly. But it's good to know he'll be ok. My lamp broke so I have to get a new bulb tomorrow otherwise I'd take pics. I'd feel irresponsible taking pics of him without the proper care being shown. Right now he's learning about the screen top on the cage and how it's blocking his pathway out of it. BPs are so SEXY! I can't wait till I can have more, and maybe even breed them!

Is a light your only heat source? Heat lamps do tend to suck the humidity right out of the enclosure and are not required sources of heat for ball pythons. Belly heat aids in digestion and is the preferred method of heating by most ball python keepers.

I hope no one was taking me seriously haha...

I do have a heating pad but it's not getting warm enough in there for him. I've got a spray bottle and everything though too for humidity. I'm going to use a ceramic heater because I've got normal lights in my room to help with the day/night cycle. That and I need another cave hide. I've got a cave and a log, but I've read all too often on here the importance of two hides looking the same SOOOOOOO I'm going to get one of those as well.




And were you kidding Mr.Shawt? Because I TOTALLYtook you seriously.

ball pythons don't explode unless you put something combustible in them light it, it burns and expands at such a rapid rate it causes mass destruction.

so no he wasn't serious

[Shin86]

mine does it occaisonally too.....i never heard it being anything serious,unless its really frequent.

It may not be original here at the forums, BUT i'll have you know...everytime i show my BP, they ask whats his name...When i say Montie....they all laugh...(Especially, that I do comedy...) So its original outside of BPnet, It's a good thing I don't know any snake owners...

[Quickone4u]
