Hello everyone![]()
Hi everyone I got my first ball pythons last tuesday. A couple questions. I recieved the snakes normal females 400gms and I gottem in a rack. With a herpstat thermo with night drop cable and digital timer. I keep the day temp at 92 dgs and at night drop it to 78 dgs. I left them alone to get acclimated for the first 3 days. So last friday I tried to feed them but only 1 of the took the mouse. The only one that fed was the only one thats not begining to shed. The 2 that didnt eat look like thier beging thier sheds. Her colors look dull and eyes dont look clear Will a ball python refuse to eat when she's shedding. Or should I just wait for them to get more comfortable in thier new surroundings.
I left the mouse with the other 2 snakes that didnt eat for 10-15 min. they refuse so I removed the mouse and offered it to them again the next day Sat. and Sun. still wont eat. The mouse was a small/meduim mouse so I fed it to the first ball that ate on friday. She didnt waste no time at all
I try to handle them often so that they can relax. When I first take them out of thier racks thier alittle stiff but after a few minutes they relax and seem fine.
If Im doing something wrong let me nkow any advice would great appreciated thanks
