I recently Purchased Jafar the snake after researching how to keep a ball python for about 2 weeks.
I purchased a snake starter kit a ten gallon tank.bottom bark a light and a water rock thing very shallow.
I realize now I made a few mistakes the water bowl was to shallow for any real water,There was no hides..The guy at the store said he was
probably gonna shed soon because it was a little while since his last hes about one and a half feet long.
*Ive changed his water bowl to a bigger bowl at least big enough to fit 3-4 cups of water into.
*I installed a hanging branch for jafar to hang on.
1.Jafar seems sort of fat to start with I need to start weighing him and figuring out his intake
eventually so what kind of scale do I get first?
2.He hasnt eaten any of the Feeders I tried to feed him in three weeks.
I bought 2 pinkys for 2 dollars thawed them properly and he didnt want them.
*I got him a live small verry small mouse and he diddnt want it.I try every other day for two weeks.The tiny feeder died for some reason.
He was being fed had a room of his own in another tank and was hydrated.
*I picked up a medium size feeder mouse still not to big jafars butt is twice the size of this puny mouse.
Why isnt he eating I let him have privacy hes hydrated He has heat.
3.They(shop owners) failed to mention he needs a proper amount of humidity but I take responsability for not
learning this and most other things I failed to do.
******What do I need to have to make a propper temp
and humidity?San antonio weather can get to 100-105 degrees in the coming spring and summer.How does this work?
They failed to mention a propper temp...I read maybe between 75 and 85 is ok?does my central air/heat help in this goal temp?
Do i need a reptile heating pad also?I get paid two times this week and I can afford whatever he needs to stay healthy.
Any ideas guys any questions on what ive been doing for him???
