nice! what type of enclosure do you have it in?- - - Updated - - -Originally Posted by baskingbaby
Hi everyone! I'm new to snakes but not new to reptiles...I've had many in the past and currently have a zoo at home. Being a vet tech doesn't help keep my pet population from growing LOL. I have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 5 bearded dragons and my new addition is Severus my little bumblebee BP! I'm so excited he's finally here and sooo beautiful. When I opened the box, I seriously thought WOW..this doesn't even LOOK like a BP! LOL. He's from American Made Exotics and is 85 grams right now. I have to find out the age, I forgot to ask his hatch date (any guesses?)
He came yesterday, and is scared to death of me. He's been hanging out in the warm side's cave. I did pull him out once to show my boyfriend, and placed him by the water bowl. He drank for quite a long time and then explored a little. I want to watch him and hold him so badly but I know I have to wait and he's really stressed. Do you think I should offer him food this weekend? His last meal was at the breeder about a week ago. I just don't know if he's too stressed to eat, but I guess there's only one way to find out
These are some really crappy pics, they don't do him justice. I didn't want to scare him anymore than I had to, so I just snapped these really quickly with my phone. Feel free to critique the cage or anything. I could use any tips from anyone. (The dome fixture on the left is a ceramic heat emitter, and the strip light is not in use, was an old BD cage).
Where you get your tubs from?Very nice Bee!!!! Is he showing any signed of wobble?
Ball pythons like small spaces as it makes them feel more secure.
I had a pastel girl that was about 5 weeks old when I bought her and it took her 32 days to take food after bringing her home. Ball pythons will go on hunger strikes and I have read in here about them going in excess of 8 months without food!!!! Your guy he should be on a 5 day feeding schedule at this age. Offer him food on Sunday as you are planning and if he doesn't take it... Wait five more days, possibly more. Don't try and keep offering every couple days it will stress him out even more.
I use a rack system and LOVE it!!!! Just remember... Fish tanked are for FISH, not Ball Pythons!!!!
Welcome to the addiction, if there is any questions you have this is a great place to have them answered!!!
