i think im going to go away from the posts for a little while, just until i accually get everything for the snakes, im doing what i can for them, and i understand i could move the heating pad but even then i wouldnt feel it right to give them such small space, and ive read that the males have to be at least i believe 600 grams, but ive also read males as small as 300 have been able to get the job done, and i say he isnt interested because most of the time hes in his own hide box, not with them, otherwise hes drinking water or poking his head out of the box.

im not saying i did it only because she looked hungry, i fed her because it had been sufficient days, i believe im taking care of my pets and when i have the things i need, they will be much better, and when i get everything, ill post again.

about the vet, im saying that if they need to go to the vet ill take them, i dont know how to explain what im saying, just that if there is somthing wrong i will fix it, the money isnt an issue, but right now it is, i wasnt expecting to get 3 females, the first one i got was the male, from a kid that wanted to kill him.

the story for my male ball python is very simple, the kids that had him asked me if i wanted to buy their snake, i didnt think i was ready and i asked to just see a picture of him, and through that time i looked up how to care for him, problem is, they came over out of no where with the snake and showed him to me.

now i dont think i have the best judgement but ive never seen a snake look more scared then when i saw him open the box with the snake in it, apparently the kid had rarely held the snake, afraid of being bit and he claims the snake has struck at himself and his friends before but ever since i got him, he hasnt... what happened next is i went about getting the $40 for the snake, he told me he would give me the tank and the light with him so i asked him to bring it over.

before he came back with the tank, my fiance sat beside me in the room with the snake and he told me the boys told him that they were going to skin the snake alive that night if they hadnt sold him, claiming their dad wanted it gone because it was getting big, and they were going to eat him. so im accually very happy that i bought him, even if he isnt in the best housing right now, hes not dead, and thats what counts to me.

i know it may not to a lot of people here, but knowing that i saved his life and that he is doing better here makes me happy, it also makes me want to get him even better, hes a beautiful snake and doesnt look like a normal to me but again, i wouldnt know. also im taking the girls in to have them sexed, just in case they arent females, even though the guy who sold them to me, he claims that one gave him 8 eggs last year and one gave him 11 eggs last year, wich also makes me kind of worry about the snakes.
