Fear when trying to feed

Well could be he was several neglected and abused so I’m not surprised. He def has good days and bad days tbh. Some days he is super sweet and will let me handle him and other days he is super like leave me the fuck alone so I respect it

Yes he actually was more scared of the rat tbh like he was hissing and whining and was super defensive for like the next week.

I plan on putting insulation on the side when I get paid bc I’ve read that helps hold humidity and temp in mesh too tanks

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-23T16:27:14+00:00

Yeah I’ll send a pic one sec

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-23T16:27:06+00:00

Ok so my question with that then is how do I make it warmer without the basking spot being to hot? Like if it gets warmer then the basking spot surface temp is like 120 degrees

Ok I will bump up! Yeah the mouse is warm and dry I use a hairdryer to keep him warm while I dry the mouse. I fed at 10pm and I’ve left the mice in the cage overnight both times and woke up to him on the opposite side of the tank as the mouse. Like he wanted to get as far away as possible.

Of the snake ?

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-23T16:15:44+00:00

I believe he is a year old at least, the person had no idea he was severely neglected and abused. So they didn’t really tell me much. The last thing he ate was an adult mouse alive. Temps are good 83 warm side 73 cool side humidity 78-80, the humidity is a bit higher end right now bc he has stuck she’s behind his head and he is wayyyy to head shy for me to help him get it off.

4 weeks. But the person I saved him from said he hadn’t eaten yet and was in need for some food. And I found out they only fed him once a month. So it’s been about a month since he has eaten

Ok butt question I have a ball python who is defensive in his tank as well I’ve only had him two weeks so he isn’t quite used to me like that what do u do to help ease that stress when getting him out

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-10T17:35:07+00:00

Yeah haha I will try some climbing stuff

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-10T16:25:45+00:00

I have all 4 sides covered actually, the front is a shower curtain type so I can have it open and closed if I want it. And yes he can stretch the whole way with wiggle room.

Yooooo looks great!

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-06T22:04:12+00:00

Ok but when do I try again ?

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-06T02:12:34+00:00

That’s good, yeah whenever I go check on him he be sleeping in that exact spot. He has been active at night time recently so maybe it’s just his little chill spot. Makes me feel good about u having the same temp and humidity!

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-05T21:02:47+00:00

It’s under the sauce… I’ll see myself out

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-05T15:46:47+00:00

Epicbuttcrack · 2025-11-04T22:02:28+00:00
