Ball pythons typically fairly shy and reclusive nocturnal animals and appreciate a good dark place to curl up and feel safe. It is best to provide two adequate hides in your BPs enclosure – one on the warm end and one on the cooler end so that it does not have to make a choice between regulating its body temperature and feeling secure (to their own detriment these snakes will sacrifice warmth in favor of a hide).

Maintaining proper temperatures is essential to keeping your ball python healthy – failure to do so can lead to a host of issues from poor feeding to potentially lethal respiratory infections. For this reason you want to make sure you are able to measure the temperatures accurately. The sticker-type thermometers used in aquariums, and the little dials usually found in pet stores are routinely inaccurate and do little more than measure the temps of the glass to which they are adhered. Do yourself and your ball python a favor and invest in a digital thermometer. One of the most cost-effective and easily available is the Accu-Rite digital thermometer/hygrometer combo available at large stores such as Wal-Mart. These retail for less than $15 and include a probe making it possible to monitor the warm side and cool side temps as well as the humidity levels all simultaneously.

What can I do to help?
There are many ways you can help end the exotic pet trade:

* Do not buy exotic animals, including certain birds and reptiles, from dealers or pet shops.
* Refuse to patronize stores and websites that sell exotic pets.
* Educate family and friends about the animal welfare problems and safety concerns related to keeping exotic animals.
* Do not visit roadside zoos and menageries that breed or display animals for profit. Take a more active role in helping to end the exotic pet trade by working with the ASPCA to pass legislation that prohibits the sale or keeping of exotic animals. Stay up-to-date about current legislation to ban exotic pets by joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade.
that is Straight from the ASPCA website this i knew i know that they openly fight Exotic pet trade but let me ask you who do you call to report animal Abuse? the Ghostbusters? i think not

Are you kidding me? This is all about the snake not having the proper sized hide? You want to call the ASPCA because this snake doesn't have a properly sized hide?
that's not it at all all i said was a snake who isn't properly cared for can and will die everyone knows stress can kill a snake it's mentioned a thousand times on this website and Ball Pythons are notorious hiders it's in their nature it makes them feel secure unstressed and happy giving a BP a small hide that it can't completely conceal itself in in a glass tank there is no question it's going to be stressed out and any "Newbie" can spot a bad Husbandry She even mentioned that she had received alot of help from this forum so taking her word that the snake was ill cared for after her going through the same problem isn't hard to grasp for anyone with half a brain

I would strongly recommend that you spend several YEARS getting to know these animals and learning from them before attempting to give out advice.
So your saying it takes several YEARS to spot bad husbandry? no i think not i might not be an "Expert" i doubt anyone here is but anyone on this site could spot "Deplorable conditions" and bad husbandry

With people like you we don't need enemies. Think before you make comments on things you don't have a complete understanding about.
So your saying because i care for the well being of a snake and wish it was better taken care of I'm a monster? an "enemy" to the Reptile world and your telling me to "think before commenting" maybe you should take some of your own advice
