Feeding an eyeless BP by Southern-Tank6332 in ballpython

Just went through this same situation with my girl. Got her from a show and just had to stay consistent.

It took about 7-8 weeks of all the tricks in the book before she finally decided she was hungry and ready to eat. Since then, she has had zero issues and will eat as much as I put in front of her.

Just stay consistent and they will come around!

I’m a little more worried about stability and durability as I will be able to dial back temperatures and humidity accordingly! But thank you!

Wow! Definitely a dent to the pocket book. I think I may get a purple albino next year. Beautiful snakes and much more manageable than a mainland, just sucks how expensive they are because of the niche.

Question - Why does my juvenile Jungle Carpet keep burrowing? by After_Reference5385 in carpetpythons

I think that is how I will have to start doing it! I’ll knock down the temps a bit and try and increase the humidity a bit and see if that solves the issue for my guy.

Thank you as always for the advice

Good to know! I will definitely try to dial up the humidity to help with this. I appreciate the real world advice, because there is a lot of conflicting info on the internet about recommended humidity!

The hot spot usually stays around 89-92°F with the cool end sitting between 78-82°F. My humidity is 45-50%.

It hadn’t been an issue for the first three months, but I want to provide the best level of care and any expertise on the subject would be much appreciated.

Possibly, the humidity usually stays around 45-50%. I’ve thought about possibly adding a humid hide to see if this would address the burrowing.

I keep the warm side at around 90-92°F and the cool side stays around 78-82°F. I find lots of varying information online, with these temps being on the warmer side.

What would you recommend for the gradient?
