Finally...

[Montypython696]

Now she has to be HET something.. And that's the type talk I don't like I care for ball pythons just as much as the next person so how would you feel if someone told you how to raise your kids, my BABIES(ball pythons) is the only type animal that I break bank to maintain just like a person with a BABY so I hear what yall SAY but until you live in my shoes TRY NOT to bring personal thoughts if a person is doing something wrong and also WE DO NOT LIVE IN THE SAME AREA/STATE so temps/humidity matter and I'm working on that...

People tell me how to raise my ball pythons all the time its called getting advice, these people are also snake enthusiasts who have been in the hobby longer than me. You know what? I listen, and I’m not offended, because these people, just like us, give the best advice on how to properly keep these animals. I, unlike others am not stupid enough to see their advice as an attack on my keeping ability. And no, I’ve not lived in your shoes, but I will tell you about myself, as of a few hours ago I am now 25 (today is my birthday) I live at home with my mother and father still. I have a college degree, and I’m currently working on my second. I have a full time job, but still struggle to pay the bills, (car, phone, credit, and insurance). I have a girlfriend, hopefully in the next few months she’ll be my fiancé, and I still have time to keep and care for these guys the way they are supposed to be taken care of.

I get all what I'm saying from the company that sold me my newbie pastel 100% pied sooooo if I'm not doing what you people are telling means I'm doing this my way like they were still in the wild in AFRICA where non of yall, maybe a select FEW have EVER been I don't like the whole RACK system method, it works but I don't like putting my babies in jail(racks), there are NO rack systems in the WILD..!!

Maybe not rack systems Mr. Echo, but there are termite mounds, and tree trunks which come kind of close to a rack when it comes to space, did YOU know? Ball Pythons really enjoy enclosed and cramped spaces? You know, those that a rack system or a termite mound can provide? Last time I was in Africa, I also didn’t see any repurposed dumpster TV stands with Ball Pythons in them. I guess those aren’t in the wild either, darn…

Hmmmmmm ok, understood now different states and regions have different temps/humidity levels so the guy I got pastel from lives in NC closer to the equator so his regular weather temps would be hotter than someone in NJ... Now soo many people on this forum are from all over the U.S. so let a NJ person on here tell me some news and I'll take his/her word a lot easier than someone who lives in OHIO or anywhere else..!! Yall seem not to be getting MY point, and that's I'm going to raise(keep) MY snakes the way that best suits ME...����...... So what erryyone<--southern accent lol, is telling me is clear bellies DONT mean anything, I craiglisted these two beauties so no kind of breeder news to what type het he/she is cuz he shows some markers also...just a quick question don't get rediculous wit the answers, **putting two gets together would get you what outcome..??**

Yes, Mr. Echo, I do live in Ohio, the summers are too short (its already 60 here at night), and the winters are way too long, there virtually is a 3 week fall, and an even shorter spring. I’m pretty sure you and I live in the same geographical area, and I attempt to keep my snakes at the proper temperature for them, and replicate to the best of my abilities what it’s like in Africa. Have you ever been to North Carolina? Did you know, that it also snows there? It is really, no-where near the equator, like at all…. You really just don’t get it. Your point is that you are going to raise these animals the best way that suits YOU. That, is not the proper way to care for an animal. Especially if you want them to thrive and breed, YOU need to raise your snakes the way that best suits THEM. And I feel so bad for your snakes since you raise them the way that best suits you.

I've had these snakes for 5 years and ain't NOTHING happened/s to them and just cuz I don't post it doesn't mean I don't have it, could incubate the eggs if they needed it tomorrow.. OMGoodness I can't wait to prove yall wrong, yall gon be saying oh snap maybe he WAS saying something we didn't understand..!!!!!!

You’ve had these snakes for five years… I’ve had my oldest since he was a baby, he is now 9. There are people on here who have had the same ball python for over 20 years old. So, why won’t you just listen to a word of advice any of us give you? You say nothing happened(s) to them? They are housed together correct? Funny how within 5 years, you’ve had no eggs, or anything with them…. Maybe just maybe it means you are doing something wrong… by the way, everybody on here already can’t understand you… your typing skills remind of a small child. Please learn some proper spelling and grammar, for your sake, and for the sake of your future.
As for everything else, this thread is a train wreck, just like the other poster has stated. You don’t listen to anything anyone else says, I personally believe you are a troll that has been created by someone just to make us entertained, or really frustrated. But if not, I sincerely feel bad for you, and the snakes, who are being cared for in a way that best suits you, and not them.
Please just stop.
