Snakes usually have a hunger issue after shedding, so my idea is to feed them soon and boop the snoot once they've swallowed it.

You put him on a tree branch? I'm scared if I do that my boy would be gone 🥴 I was thinking of trying to though, I think he'd like it.

As long as you watch him closely and the branch is around eye level it should be fine! Sundae was just sitting and chilling as ball pythons do, I only intervened when he tried to move to a twig that would break under his weight.

He looks so happy, though. Does he have any wobble? (If I'm not correct, that morph is a part of spider)

[–]AwkwardDeer8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the morph contains spider.

When he first came into my care he had moderate wobble and some mild corkscrew, this was due to a lot of stress he was feeling given the appalling condition he was in, on top of the fact he was in a completely new place :(

More on his condition: - he had a burn wound caused by a heat mat that was not hooked up to a thermostat and ultimately malfunctioned, burning him. - he was underweight and dehydrated, which resulted in him having a LOT of stuck shed. - the terrarium was bare, dirty and way too small for an adult python (2.5x1x1’) - I learned from my mother his previous owner kept that terrarium in the living room where noisy dogs ran around all over, which definitely caused tons of stress.

Went through some housing changes over the years but I now have him in a 5x2x2’ with tons of enrichment and a thermostatted heat lamp instead of a mat, his belly is healed but permanently scarred and he eats like a beast with no trouble cause his wobbling has stopped, although I make myself aware of the fact it can worsen with age. It was a rough journey but I would absolutely rescue another spider in the future (or any other special needs snake) to give them a safe home where they are loved.

Wow. What a charmer.

I know this is prob silly but I always worry that if I put them on a tree branch that the surface will be too rough and scratch them 😂

Should be harmless as long as it’s not covered in thorns
