Need help Pythons keep dying

[rabernet]

okayy..... one of the first things that you did wrong was buy from a pet store. NEVER buy from a pet store most of the reps and animals hav diseses. buy from a reputable breeder(i reccomend bhb).

and you should really look at these articles and videos they will include almost anything you need to care for bps, so you can see if you did anything wrong, and correct it
YouTube - Ball Python Care Video

YouTube - Snake Tips: Ball Python Care

or just type in "Ball Python Care sheet" on google

Hope this helps!

Of course, you forgot to mention our very own caresheet here:

I watched the first video and two things I don't agree with - he plans to have 3-4 ball pythons in his 40 gallon eventually and he recommends changing the substrate every six months. With all the urine that he can't possibly get up - once a month would be more appropriate.

To the OP - I suspect that since both animals came from the same source, they were already sick. I would completely throw out the equipment and housing that you were using for these two and start over with a tub set up for a more economical solution and purchase a ball python from a breeder, either to be shipped to you or find a breeder that is local to you.

Edit - ok - the second video is very well done - I didn't see any glaring errors in that - he did a good job!
