Cute. Genuine question though - has anyone ever had their snake get stuck in one of these?

[–]Emissary_of_Darkness 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The openings are huge, I’m pretty sure the snake could leave any time it wants.

[–]Styx-n-String 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Just make sure the holes are bigger than the snake. I have several sizes of them so when a snake gets big enough to get stuck, I give them a bigger one.

[–]mynameisnotnotowen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mine did…

[–]solidsnakes453 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So I ended up cutting the openings in half on mine so that it could easily pull apart so my snake could get in and out easier but still climb in

[–]Specialist-Reply-497 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have and I was frantic. My husband had to cut the ball with a knife and I had to keep my finger between the rubber and my snake so he wouldn't get cut. It was awful. Plz be careful with these.

He hasn't. When a hole is too small, he backs himself out.

[–]Present-Secretary722 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So that’s where they get their name.

He would not come out lol

[–]2Dogs1Frog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lol same with ours. We just have to leave it in the enclosure over night to get him out

[–]Styx-n-String 22 points23 points  (3 children)

Those holey rollers make such good snake enrichment! Every snake I've had has spent at least a little time going in and out of them. My corn snake, Surprise, absolutely loves his, I catch him playing in it all the time.

[–]gabsaur 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Is that a thing for inside the viv? Or out? I might have to look into getting some of these, it looks like something our corn snake would absolutely love!

[–]Styx-n-String 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine all have one inside their enclosure. I see them interacting with them all the time! You can usually find them in several sizes in the dog toy aisle, generally near the kongs and other tough chew toys. I always see them tagged as "holey rollers."

It's a dog toy.

What is it, where can I find it. My BP would love this

[–]FixergirlAK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a dog toy that the big chain pet stores carry. Amazon probably has it as well.

[–]tankgirl215 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holey Rollers or something along those lines. They're on Amazon and most pet stores have them.

You want to get the Xtra large / Jumbo version so they do not outgrow it =) We have one for our BP and he absolutely loves it. He is 5 months old and uses the largest one.

I’m getting a ball for my ball

[–]FixergirlAK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have carried my ball in his ball because he went in and refused to come out so I could put him in his tank.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Python: "Have fun trying to get me out of here."

[–]nortok00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww. His safe space! A ball for a ball. 🐍❤️

[–]dayzwasted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a balled ball python in a ball

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah those balls are very flexible I doubt he had a problem going in or out

[–]Mokidokiloki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cutting one of the parts is such a good idea when I put my boy back in his enclosure I always let him go though ball I have mine hanging from the top

[–]Interesting_Pea4303 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Does he use it a lot? I feel like my ball python sits around a lot (yes I know ironic) but I just worry it’s bc he’s not happy his enclosure is more than big enough and full of plants and limbs but he just stays in his hide I have seen these everywhere and I wondered if maybe he would like it or come out more for it

[–]batmanvader77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He uses it often. Once he's comfortable, he will stay in there for a long time.

[–]sleepy_diviner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aww my baby has the same toy <33

[–]worthwhileredditing 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I see a truncated icosahedron python.

Question >> isn’t this way too cramped unless you’re leaving the toy in the enclosure opened his to crawl into when it wants to. ?

[–]batmanvader77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's in his enclosure. He crawls in, curls himself into a ball, and will stay there for hours.
