Rescued neglected ball python update!
Yay, okay good news. The snake I got as a rescue which was kept in a dog carrier without any other elements, i.e. no heat etc, now has a nice new home.
Little info for those who didnt read old post, shes an adult, bout 4" long, she was fed only bout once every 6 weeks or less before I got her, and they were also very bad about giving her water , idiots should get animals.
Shes in a 55 gallon long which was given to me. Its a 48"x13"x20" tank which was given to me. Cleaned it out really good.
I was also given a fairly long UTH, which covers a little over 50% of the tank, and overhead hood which I have a normal 67 watt in one side, and a 60 something watt IR red bulb for night.
Today I got a good screen lid, some good clips to hold it down. For now until I'm able to get a good thermostat, I'm using a "lamp dimmer" to control the heat mat in case I need it. I got a hygrometer and 2 thermometers. I bought two good sized hides for her. I got her a big enough dish that she can fully soak in. I got reptibark substrate.
So anyways yeah, one sides been bout 75-80, the other bout 80-85, humidity is hanging bout 50%, I also got her a mouse today which she fed, so she is doing GREAT. Im going to take her to the vet in the next couple weeks, I suspect she has giardia, because well, apparently she gave it to me. Stupid amoeba. But yeah, that will soon be treated also.
Thanks for the tips guys!
