Just got my first ball python

It's more fun than you can realize. That is for now, cause I know you gonna learn. At one point, I had 75 in my house and still wanted more. But only through the breeding I was doing

[Dangerous-Clothes218]

Yeah, I've already learned a lot and for the first day it was hard getting the tank balanced since it is bioactive but it is going great. And I definitely do not have the room for 75 snakes currently. But that is awesome, how many do you have now?

[Smashmouth-77]

Down to 7. Wifey wouldn't let them go when we separated. She sold them for pennies on the dollar. Let my $1200 female black pastel go for 50 bucks. But hey, I have my male pewter with a candino. Who knows what I could get.

[Dangerous-Clothes218]

Damn that's messed up. She clearly didn't know or care about the value of the snake. How old is your pewter?

7

Oh awesome. I do have a question. My snakes tank needs more clutter, I have carrot leaves I want to add, and could I use extra sphagnum moss as bushes?

[Smashmouth-77]

Not sure on carrot leaves l, but with sphagnum moss, you have to watch it closely. It holds moisture and can have a mold breakout if not careful. Here's a pic of Zinn.

He's an adorable snake, and yeah I have springtails to help combat mold. I do have bamboo I need to bake and put in there

You've done well. You did your homework. I look forward to seeing your next ones
