So my ball python really sucks at climbing and while he was on my arm he fell onto the floor (3ft). While he had no external injuries, his jaw was misaligned for a few minutes until going back into place. I tried to feed him a mouse and instead of taking it he tried to strike but missed, on the second strike I left him alone. I checked on him 10 minutes later and he spit out the mouse and was ignoring it. I am really scared for him and I don’t know what to do. Should I try to feed him again tomorrow and did I just waste a mouse???

Do her eyes look too cloudy? Could she possibly be blind?

I’ve had her for three months. At first, I thought it was because she was going into blue, but she hasn’t shed and it looks different to me. She eats great, and it gaining weight, but can be a little jumping when handling.

I’m calling a vet tomorrow, but I don’t know what they would be able to do to tell.

Edit: I did it

Hello 👋

I recently moved to Florida and I'm having no luck finding any ASF anywhere. None of the pet stores have any live or frozen and all the websites I've checked are all sold out. My gal will not eat anything else and they have to be large or she won't want anything to do with it, so I'm struggling at this point and she hasn't eaten in a while.

Do you guys know of any websites that have the large frozen in stock or any pet stores near Jacksonville FL? I'm willing to drive a ways if I have to.

I also plan on going back to breeding them myself very soon if anyone knows where I can get a breeding pair or two.

I know someone who was too depressed to take care of herself, it was harder with a snake on top of that. I offered to take the snake off her hands. I have always loved animals but I will admit I don’t know much about reptile care. I have already ordered a bigger enclosure for her. My friend who owns a corn snake is coming next weekend to help me setup a great enclosure. What are some necessities I should get? I want her to have the best life possible. The previous owner said she was somewhere between 4-6 years old. She looks a little underweight to me, but she’s very friendly.

Unfortunately I have to rehome my 11month old ball python because of family issues,everybody suddenly dislikes him and I dont feel like he is safe here,could just be me but id rather be safe than sorry.He is Orange Dream, taking small rats eagerly, he is 375g and 2.5ft long. Rehoming fee of $35 dollars.He is super docile,could be a little skittish at times,has only bitten me once,and it was out of fear and my fault.

I brought my new son home yesterday and I can already tell this journey is going to be a test of my patience. He was pretty active exploring his new (temporary) enclosure yesterday, but today he’s been sleppin in one of his hides all day. All I want to do is touch!!! And hold!!! But I will leave the lil fella alone so he can adjust :(

He’s got a much bigger and fancier pvc enclosure getting here next weekend that I can’t wait to set up for him! Excited to spoil the bebe with all the enrichment and crawly spaces.

Also, I’m undecided on a name yet, so any suggestions are appreciated! Top contenders right now are Cheeseburger, Goose, and Subway

10 months old. Good feeding last week. This week started to notice “I fits I sits” behavior in the water dish. Could this be a pre-shed activity?

Hi guys, I’m back! So I took yalls advice, added a second hide, more cover and deeper substrate. He also has a 24 hr heat lamp. He has had a successful feed and due this friday (based off the schedule his previous owner gave me; every other friday). I open his tank from about 4pm when I’m home to 9:30/later on weekends. Last night he was roaming around until 4 am when he slithered his way BACK TO HIS TANK. I was excited, I think thats a good thing. I hope. But I believe he’s adjusting pretty well? Also I decided to build him a pvc enclosure so that his next move is his last. Any build tips would be greatly appreciated. I’ve already sketched out the design, done measurements and began buying the things I need. I’m pretty excited yall 🙂‍↔️

So the rats have been in the deep freeze, i thaw them in the fridge, ive noticed they take a while to thaw and idk how safe it is for them to be thawing out, ive been around this snake for 6 years tho my mom took care of it the entire time until now, idk how long to thaw it for or how long is safe, usually it takes about 24 hours to fully thaw, is that ok? Is it safe? Will it hurt my snake? Any and all advice is appreciated!

Hello! I recently started having issues with my enclosure not getting past 80 degrees. I’ve had the same enclosure for 2 years now but this just became an issue this year. I thought maybe it was an issue with my cheap thermostats which were the reptizoo brand. I read that the herpstat was the best and safest option so I just bought one. It’s the herpstat 2. For my heat sources I use a 50 watt halogen and a 80 watt DHP. I’m not sure if I set up my herpstat wrong or if there’s another issue, but my enclosure still isn’t warming up. Currently it’s 77 Fahrenheit on the cold side and 80 Fahrenheit on the warm side. I set my halogen to 95 and my dhp to 85 on the herpstat. I included photos of what my herpstat is reading and my probe placement. I also have most of the screen top covered in Hvac tape and acrylic sheets. Any advice is helpful!

Overweight?

Going to pick up a 5ft x 2ft x 2ft viv tomorrow and trying to think of my best options for a stand/cabinet that’s not hideous or super expensive. where the hell are you guys putting these huge vivs???

My boy is shedding and since the humidity was low i gave him a humid hide, but i messed up and put too much water in the moss and now he has some mild scale rot but I don't wanna stress him with an iodine bath, will the scale rot go away after he sheds or do i still need to treat him?

​

Seems he is finally comfortable enough in his new enclosure to chill in the open even when the lights are still on

I was stupid and bought an Ecoflex Mojave enclosure , sealed the corners after finding out that they leaked and now dealing with the repercussions. Should I just eat the charge and get a new enclosure this one is still leaking even after I sealed it ; waited 5-7 days and put everything back in

Almost 100 grams at 5 months he’s finally growing 🥹

is this wood okay to use in a bioactive enclosure? I do plan on baking them to disinfect them.

Just picked up this beautiful girl yesterday from a friend of mine! She’s my first ever BP and I am SO excited!

I’m having a bit of trouble with one of my wooden vivs for my ball python. I found a tiny crack in the panel and the edge of 2 of the panels have misaligned.

The joints are all sealed correctly and I’ve now sealed the outside of the panels since noticing the gap. (He kept dragging water into that corner and I’ve moved his dish back to help dry out the area)

I only got the viv 3 months ago from swell reptiles and all the other tanks are doing just fine - this particular one is giving me a headache and I’m worried of potential collapse.

Any advice on how to resolve these or if they’re of any serious danger to my snake?

All advice appreciated!

So I am apartment sitting for a friend and their family and they have a little ball python, and a little dog smaller then my fore arm I was to watch for them for 2 of the four days (Started on Friday) I would change the water and send a picture of in there in closure once a day but the third night I couldn’t stay over so I walked their dog for like over 30 min its a little one so it should be tuckered out, and checked on the snake. the next morning I came in and the inclosure was opened and some stuff fell on the floor. My friends room and really tidy but they have a a lot of knick knacks on their shelves that are up high but non of them have been misplaced besides what’s next to the in closure. The snake has their next feed tomorrow ( Tuesday). I feel horrible I called them as soon as I saw the door opened and after I checked the in closure. I need help!
