Well, I am a dude, but I could be one heck of a snake momOriginally Posted by Eric Alan
Sounds like you're a good snake mom. You used some of our favorite buzz words in this reply.
As far as food goes, she would probably benefit from food every 4-5 days about as big around as she is (increasing size of food as she grows). Mouse pinkies are typically too small for BPs, so you're going to want to looking in to finding a source for rats (or plan on feeding multiple mice per feeding). Rats tend to be easier in the long run.
Check out this thread for a nice and simple walk-through for glass aquarium setup and see how yours compares: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...With-Pictures!I'm just familiar with a lot of equipment, having my hands in a lot of pots (so to speak) in the exotics world. I also try to look my best into husbandry. Luckily it looks like I'm doing pretty well for BP set up!
I have a LPS that has consistently good feeders. I shop there for my corn, as well as my other critters. I was planning on gradually getting her up to the right size, but not over doing it. Other than that the girl seems to be adjusting very well. She just kind of sitting about, not really climbing or scooting, but just looking around. It's different than her before-behavior of going under her half log.
