    Re: Im New:] - Ball Python Info

    I guess it's me your all talking about, as far as switching for feeding. One of our BP's has been fed outside it's enclosure for over 5 years, the other for the 1.5 years we've had it. From what we've read, changing their routines could stress them out.

    That's what I meant. I switch from 'I' to 'we' a lot because they're not just mine, but I think you guys get what I'm trying to say.

    I don't think it's necessary to get into a debate over feeding since it's been done a ton of times already on this forum. Some feed inside, some feed outside. I guess as long as they're eating, shedding in one piece, and hiding like they should, what we're doing is working.

    We, too, like many others on here, bought our first snake from PetCo. We were told it was necessary to feed outside of the enclosure, and we believed it, which is why we started doing it. The internet has a ton of resources that go both ways, some reliable, some not so much. We did our research and came up with two different answers and chose to go with what we were told from PetCo. This was back in 2004 when we had our first BP.

    I was just trying to add to the conversation about what works for us.
