    Re: ??? about my normal ball size

    I found your vids and yeah in the feeding vid of your normal BP (the full length one) it kind of looks like to me like your BP is underweight and possibly a little dehydrated? Do you keep humidity up and give them water to drink?

    Also, it wouldn't hurt to collect some fecal matter from her and bring it to a vet to have her checked for parasites.

    yeah i got water in her tank that she can get to anytime.. and she does i see her drinking from it time to time... and it is hard to keep humidity up in the tanks.. which is why im going to get a rack soon.. but i spray both my snakes tanks 2 times a day (morning/night).. with just a spray.. maybe 2 ... that keeps it up.. i also have 3/4 of the top coverd..

    i took her to the vet a week or 2 after i got her.. and he said she was healthy.. he did not however check for parasites cuzz she had not pooped yet.. but he said she was getting enough water.. and just looked healthy overall.. (at that time)

    and yes not all vets know what they are talkin bout when it comes to snakes.. but mine does.. he also breeds ball pythons .. that i found out after i got there.. he has over 30 ball pythons.. and said he has been doing it for the last 25 years.. sooo he should know what he's talking bout.. lol..

    but if i can't get her weight up over the next week or 2 .. i will def set up a time to go to the vet!

    thanks for your help!!!
