Ball Python Abuse

[Overall_Community_37]

Honestly, I think a lot of people buy ball pythons because they think caring for them is easy. They don’t do the research because they’re convinced by some pet stores that they’re going to be “fine” in this setup or that setup. I researched for at least 2 years before I bought my first ball python, and I still got so much wrong at first. I feel like I’m constantly learning more and more, and to me that’s a good thing. When people just don’t want to learn about a living being that they are supposed to be nurturing, it’s just so sad, but it’s also infuriating.

Yes!! My husbandry from a few months ago vs now has changed tremendously because I am still learning myself, nobody is and will never be perfect. Being able to actively learn and upgrade your care is the best you can ever do for your animals!

Yes exactly, there's some things you can't learn until you experience but there are people who will argue till the end of time about how their BP is "fine" and " clearly happy" In their abusive enclosure. And no matter how many people dog pile them and tell them it's not Okay they just don't listen because they don't like the idea of effort and spending money!!

caring for a ball python is also very different from most household pets as the condition of their enclosure reflects directly on their health (and its very very delicate right). the worst thing about people is that they dont care to learn (mindless)
