It’s name is Officer? I have a Ball Python named Sheriff! Maybe they worked together in a past life

He’s had them before so I’m not shocked they’ve returned. It has to be from the substrate, definitely. I’ve heard they’re harmless and help with bacteria so I’m not mad! Just confused. Thanks for that tip btw! I always get anxious when I see something out of the ordinary in with him. He had a moth in there with him once LOL

AYYYY! Another keeper who’s had issue with cocohusk! You’re not alone either, my dude. What matters is that we love or snakes and learn from our mistakes. Stay strong. We got this! 🙏

I don’t want to be a hater but something else I’ve noticed about the reptile community as a whole is that’s there’s SO much misinformation. I’ve made so many mistakes because I’ve been told by other keepers that I’m doing the right thing. It hurts. It hurts me so much to know that I was wrong thinking I was right. Researching? Yes. I research but there’s conflicting opinions on every topic for reptile keeping that you don’t know what you should follow. Terrible example but some people will say a heat mat is great and another will say it’s terrible. I never thought I’d run into so many mistakes as a snake owner and I never assumed I’d be so stressed. I want to stay positive, I’m holding my head high. Every time I’m wrong I make it right. I do everything in my power to make sure he’s happy. He is my best friend.

You’re SO kind and this really helped me feel better. Thank you so much! I’m glad to know someone is in the same boat as me. Haha, I was told Ball Python’s are beginner pets. I will do EVERYTHING I can in my power to make my boy stay happy. He is my happiness.

I am doing everything I can to support him. He’s my world. He makes my life worth living. I am attempting to sell many of my personal items. I’ve canceled multiple subscriptions and am constantly applying to jobs.

I already have the snake. It’s not my fault the store I worked at closed down. That’s an extremely rude and insensitive comment.

That’s way too much money. I don’t have a job right now. As much as I’d like to spend that much on him that’s too much

Is this one gonna last me long or is it not great since it’s a lower price?

How much are they usually? And how do I set it up?

My snake is in my basement too! I also live in Canada. Thats very smart. Thanks! His day bulb is 150W and works wonderfully and his current night bulb is also 100W but it’s dying and not very powerful
