i just noticed this on her. it seemed to be getting stuck on things. it’s the pink spot. sorry for bad video

Hey, back with another question. Our thermostat is in, but we can't figure out to mount the probe. Genuinely, how do people get their Probes in? We're using a pvc enclosure with 2 mesh squares for heat and our Probes don't fit through the vents.

Vogue ate another meal last night on the first try. Ive decided to feed him every 6 days as everything Ive read recommends feeding youngins every 5-7 days. When can I start trying to handle him? He's eaten 2 meals back to back without refusing, should I wait a little longer until he's more established? I've had him for almost 3 weeks now. I got him on the 1st.

he’s a happy snek :)

This is my first time posting in here but I am so confused on if this is regurgitation or poop? The picture is kind of bad but it just look sort of like poop with fur I just noticed today and she got fed monday. Is there anything specific I should do or does this look okay?

Worried my new ball python might be getting scale rot, Substrate is typically dry everytime I touch it and I’m honestly just a new owner, want the best for her so please lmk

I’ve done quite a bit of research but ofc there is a ton of conflicting info so I require y’all’s opinions.

I just brought my new noodle home yesterday and she’s my first snake. She is roughly a year old and weighs 323 grams
The thing is, I was told she is fed every 7 days. And was last fed on Wednesday the 7th. But they have only been giving her fuzzies?!

I thought she needed a feeder 10% of her weight which is 32.3 grams, and fuzzies are definitely not enough.

But I also heard she is fussy and they have to brain the mouse to make sure she eats.
So I want to increase the prey size and eventually switch her to rats, but I don’t want her to turn away her meal after having to wait an extra 5 days to settle.

So should I feed her a fuzzy first, and then increase the size of the mouse, and then switch to rats over time? Or should I just go straight to rats of appropriate size and hope?

Idk I’m just worried for my noodle

They're attached by suction cups since I refuse to use any adhesive in the tank, and I was always wondering why sometimes I'd check in the morning and the one side would be off, well I think I found the reason, I'm gonna take the hint and add more climbing opportunities to this side of the tank (the warm side already has a branch up)

My baby is a 5 years old male, weighing now 1605 gramms, he eats one 90-110gramm, F/T rat every 14-21 days. He is approximately 110-120 cms long. He is a great eater! He roams around in his enclosure and he " hunts" nearly every night.

He would eat anything anytime, really:D

I got him in May when he weighed around 1300 gramms.

How is his condition based on pics? I really cannot tell based on the guides 🫣 Should I let him move more, outside of his enclosure? - I could not brother him while he was shedding and when he is out he is in my hands/on me for approximately 30mins.

Thank you in advance 🥰

Just wanted to share some pics of my chill baby boy😎. I love how his colors almost perfectly match his enclosure in a weird way.

Hi I recently upgraded my balls enclosure and wanted to show yall :3

Her name is puddin she’s my sassy lil noodle

My bf and I just recently got a snake, almost a week ago now, and I have been trying to learn as much as I can to make sure he has the right tank conditions. I read a lot on scale rot and what to look out for, I’m afraid I may have accidentally made the tank too moist in efforts to raise the humidity.

So maybe silly question maybe not, but can anyone tell me if this looks like scale rot or if he’s just dirty from pooping the other day? He naturally has a slightly orange-pinkish tone to his belly, so it’s making it a little harder for me to tell. Any help is appreciated!!

Very proud to be a first time BP owner!!

Bought a snake from someone who bought a large stock of reptiles from a man who owned a reptile shop but sadly passed away.

He is a ball python born in June- weighed 68grams - shed 18th June - was eating fluffs weekly and then last feed he had was 18th July which was a medium mouse- has had one bowel movement the day he came home, ever since he has not shed or eaten anything, no bowel movements, escaped his tank and was found after 5 days unharmed, offering defrosted fluffs, have tried making it warm with the hair dryer, poured hot water over the head, left in warm water for a few minutes to warm the body etc.

Tried leaving it there in the dark but come morning it’s there still, tried with tongs, he will come over to it sniff it and is uninterested, he weighed 104grams 13th September but this past two weeks he’s starting to look thinner. He has a cool and hot side, he’s active will slither around, I don’t want him to die.

Hi there, snake dad of one week here. First feeding is today :)

This is my enclosure. Fandango was hatched in June, so he is pretty young. He is always in his cool or warm hide, I have not yet seen him out. I have not handled him yet, and I plan to wait until the weekend where I will have had him for 10 days. ​​

​​​​I have a DHP keeping the warm side at 32c, and cool side at 25c. The substrate is moss and "snake bedding" from ExoTerra, and I added springtails and isopods. All wood in the enclosure I collected in the forest and baked it, all of it is snake-safe. My humidity falls to almost 55 even though I pour water in there and on the warm rock every day, about a cups worth. ​I just poured like a whole liter in there and now I got it up to 70 but god damn that's a lot of water. Any tips? The enclosure is closed off except for two holes of about 5cm in diameter on the low cool side and two similar holes high up on the warm side. ​The enclosure is 120L*60D*80H.

I'm also kinda curious as to whether I can encourage him to climb more - with that said, I'm aware that a hidden ball python is a happy ball python. ​​​​

Any tips are appreciated, I'm just interested in him being as happy as he can be :) although I would like to see him some more. ​

It’s a 4x2x2 for anyone wondering…there’s 6 hides in here, and my snake can move from one end to the other while being completely under cover if he wants. It’s for my (tiny) 6 year old male banana x black pastel, Lemon. Hence the lemons 🍋💕

How am I doing?? Any tips greatly appreciated. “Wallpaper” was temporary but blocks light way better than I expected so I may keep it. I’m saving up for one of the front door ones before she gets any bigger but right now she’s a baby

My sweet boy Leo❤️

Noodle getting long she's a year and 3 months old now

Say hello to Elsa again.

She is very happy and pleased to see you all 💖💖💖
