New, And a bit worried

[bman123]

Ball pythons arent display animals anyway. Tanks suck for humidity, I played hell keeping it up. You can use a basking bulb they are around $10 for a 150 watt bulb. Your tank is too tall

I was stating that because it looks like their dank is used exactly for that. To put snake on display

well to be truthful, it's the only suitable enclosure we have, so thats what we use.
and i have great news, we attempted to feed him, and it went so well.

we now have a happily fed ball. now we just need to solve the heating problem.

P.S.- in case anyone was wondering, that cage he's in in the pic is his feeding cage.

please tell me your not using what looks to be a all wire cage for birds/rodents.

If so WOW

[Jay_Bunny]

If that is indeed his feeding cage, ditch all the bedding. It also looks wet and dirty in there. I would not use a wire cage even as a feeding cage (I feed in their home enclosure anyway).

How are you measuring temps? I only see those crappy liquid crystal things that measure water temp, then I suggest you get some digital thermometers with probes.

Also if thats all you have why not just get a nice tub?

Would be cheaper then a CHE. Put a UTH + tstat on it. Ur temps and humidity shouldnt be a prob

That could be why he dont eat? They told me u take em out his environment and put him in a new one he wont eat cuz he dont feel secure and will be stressed

first of all, i'm new to owning snakes, pleas don't use shorts and jargen, i don't understand them.

and we've never thought of using tubs, i always thought that was somewhat cruel, i know they like tight places, but i think they would appreciate a little more room. we are looking for a smaller cage though.

i never said he didn't eat. i was just worried he would be too stressed to. the
only reason he hadn't eaten before was because he was starting his shed when we got him. he was also fed three days before that.
