as for food wouldn't you like to see some actual proof of what works best i know i would it would stop allot of fights. not just the old speech snakes have been eating mice in cbb breed for 30+ years i mean actual proof from testing showing what type or combo of foods worked best for the snake. could just be the way i was brought up to question stuff that aint got actual proof showing (yeah it might be common place but common place don't mean it is right) like just for example lets say a ball that eats nothing but mice whole group lives 20 to 22 year where ones that eat rats lived 24 to 26 years and ones that ate asf lived a Lil over 30 years. then if they lived longer or shorter if given vitamins and mineral supplements and same for if they ate a varied diet


yeah i can kind of see what you mean about people treating them like they are dieing to an extent (but the temp and humidity has kind of been researched to an extent) so others have figured what worked best for longest life of a cbb ball python now just need to take further steps to study and document what foods and other factors work best since we already know perfect environment.
Im not really that interested to know which rodents are best. If anything you wouldnt have to do it with snakes it would just be using the rodents and analyzing their nutrient levels. Which also all depends on their diet. That would be something that could be done probably pretty easily.

Maybe the ones that lived longer just had better genetics. You cant really prove anything with that. Theyre all the same animal but genetics are a huge part of it.

I know the temp and humidity does matter TO an extent. But some people feel it has to be EXACT. Sure drastic changes are bad but a few variations isnt bad...
