Since ball pythons are so shy, feeding outside of the enclosure can actually be stressful for them.Originally Posted by Prohandlr
Kaorte,, Thank you!
What a great source of information you have been.....thank you for sharing.
His carpet is already gone...I cleaned his tank and put plain white butcher paper in it.
I will move him to a 10 or 20 gal tank tomorrow, and get the appropriate heating elements, along with new thermometers. I only have the stick on kind now.
I don't feed him in his large tank, btw...I put him in a small lidded container. I started feeding him live because when I first got him, I got anxious because he would not eat. Is it too late to try thawed again?
Anyway, I will stop bugging you for now...you have given me plenty of homework!
Thanks again
Once you have your new setup done, wait a week and try feeding him f/t inside his new enclosure. Sometimes heating the head up with a hair dryer right before offering it does the trick.
I don't think its too late to switch him over.
