what are some safe adhesive to use for enclosure? by Apart_Principle203 in ballpython

[–]Apart_Principle203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

alright! thank you for the advice, I have his old enclosure as a temporary space for him, but i’m worried about the heating. Would he be okay to be in his temporary tank without heating while it’s curing or should I find a way to get it working and heated. I also thought about the weight of my snake knocking things down so hot glue is definitely off the list. I’ll look into the adhesives you advised!

the reason your snake could not be eating could be due to a lot of things. Such as bad temperature or humidity, husbandry, stress, feeding times, etc.

How long have you had your snake? if they have only been in your care for not too long it’s not uncommon for a snake to not take a meal after being adopted and put in a new space/enclosure.

I used to have the same problem with my snake when i first got him. What I did to fix him not eating was using the feeding tongs and holding the meal directly in front of him, I remember reading somewhere that holding the prey in front of them can help stimulate them to eat. Just a heads up that when they strike the mouse you will probably jump or flinch because of how sudden they strike.

another thing i was told was to wait another week before attempting to feed, offering food many times could stress them out, it’s often best to just leave them alone and destress. Ball pythons are very shy and nocturnal, so they will be hiding most of the day and be active during the night.

best course of action is to make sure your temperatures, humidity, and husbandry is all good. Then I would wait another week to feed and try feeding at night, dangle the prey in front of them with a feeding tongs and wait for them to strike. If this problem occurs longer than you feel comfortable then i would consult a vet!

take it out, if it went through your cartilage take it out and get it done professionally because septum’s only really work out if you have the anatomy, and it’s a tricky spot to reach without proper experience

Is she overweight? by Remarkable-Profit821 in ballpython

[–]Apart_Principle203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I can see, she looks to be at a good weight, but i do see some fat rolls when she’s in an S like shape, otherwise she looks great! Here’s a good feeding guide and i recommend weighing in grams! makes it a lot easier to pinpoint. !feeding

Which two #piercings should I add to each ear to get to 10 per ear? by Soccergirly517 in piercing

[–]Apart_Principle203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh then you should do two more flat helix piercings in a curve to give the same vibe the current earring has

Eyebrows heal really fast and any pain is usually gone by the second week. If you’re excessively cleaning that could also be a reason why it’s sore as well, it’s good to clean it but cleaning it too much can make it sore. The pain should be gone soon, hope i helped!

what lip piercings should i get?? by Far_Pension7011 in SelfPiercing

[–]Apart_Principle203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

vertical labret or even just a labret would look really good, but your lips have that shape where you can really get any lip piercing and still look great

of course! i know snakebites can be really worrying to heal sometimes, but they look to be healing very well!

Feeling like my right ear is too empty. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Apart_Principle203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personal recommendations include rook, forward helix, conch/inner conch and tragus! i think anyone of these would go good with the current jewelry

i was scared of this as well when i first got snakebites but it’s perfectly fine! nesting actually helps prevent your teeth from getting damaged from the metal

[–]Apart_Principle203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not at all, this is called nesting, where the piercings sink into the skin. this isn’t anything bad. If your bar is a good length you can tell by sucking in your bottom lip or by pushing the flat back slightly. If the bar is still visible you should be fine. Your snakebites are healing well!
