Thanks to all for all the advice! I keep all my ball pythons in boaphile racks from41qt. on down. I have a ranco & helix thormostat. 90 on the hot side and ambient temp in the low 80's. I have acess to any medications and vet care whenever needed. I figured I would ask the community on here first since some of you'll probally know more than the vets or just as much due to having so many balls over years and all your personal expierences and knowledge. Also he hasnt ate now for probally around 2 and half months total. Again I try to buy animals the best and give them the best care. I just for some reason thought I was doing it right due to the books I read and people I talked to. I MESSED UP and now learned from it to never happen again thanks to this SITE & YOU'LL.
