    Im new!

    Hello everyone.. I just received my first baby pastel ball python yesterday from lll reptile.. he is a gorgeous lil feller... My question is are zoo-med hygrotherms worth the money or are there any diferent hygrotherms cheaper but same efficiency... im not new to snakes.. but new to technology... also any tips on what to do and great ways to feed and raise my baby ball would be greatly appriciated..

    lll reptile said that its between 2-3 mons old at 15 inches..they have been feeding live small adult mice..but ive been reading that african fuzzy rat pups have alot more calcium and nutrients than regular mice.. any insight broad or specific would be great..

    by the way ball pythons are so docile compared to my albino burmese...thank goodness lol

    Welcome to BP.net!! As for the zoo-med hydrotherms, no they are not worth the money in my opinion. I always just go with the accurites from walmart. They are way cheaper and better if you as me.

    Welcome to Bp.net.... Personally if it was feeding of white mice before you bought it I would continue to feed it white mice for now. After it is eating regularly on mice I would make the switch to rats.

    Most people just mist their enclosures with a water bottle once or twice a day. I have a humidifier in my reptile room so I don't have to mist to much. What bedding do you use? Some hold humidity better than others.
