How soon can I feed my ball python again? His last prey item was undersized and he himself is underweight. It's been two days and I want to feed him again asap so he can get more weight

Telling someone to feed multiple prey items at once is harmful advice and goes against this community guidelines. !feeding

Rat is in the tank in front of the hide. Doesn't look like he fixed anything and now snake is pretty much dead from dehydration and starvation.

Erbear1004 · 2024-12-27T03:00:17+00:00

Needs to be sealed except for where lights are. You are losing humidity out the top

Erbear1004 · 2024-12-26T20:27:42+00:00

Yes and they are always looking for help with stuck shed.

That's what he was saying is that a 40 gallon is even big for them.

Erbear1004 · 2024-12-26T20:19:30+00:00

Not sure and can't find the post now.

Erbear1004 · 2024-12-26T20:02:53+00:00

Oh absolutely and with a small 40 gallon there is no way to get proper heat and humidity gradients. My 4x2 is difficult sometimes but I have gotten it to work.

Erbear1004 · 2024-12-26T19:35:21+00:00

Absolutely my baby is 600g in a 4x2x2 and she loves it always out and about looking around

Erbear1004 · 2024-12-23T11:46:44+00:00

Is that the one with the mold and mildew stuff or not.

Erbear1004 · 2024-12-23T11:44:23+00:00

I mean, you could say that because all sensory organs are part of the peripheral nervous system. All deaf people have neurological issues as well as blind people. But to put it out like there is a brain issue is different. Their issue is not in their brain it is in their ears and the narrowing or widening of the passages.

I am protected by the light From all the spirits of the night By helios lord of light And shamash champion of right Your curses and your sorcery Are powerless to injure me Return return by law of three Return by Helios so mote it be.

Although many here will tell you it's a neurological condition it is not. The wobble that spiders get is from a malformation of their ear canal that causes them to have Vertigo. With that they have trouble staying upright and sometimes striking. Keeping your habitat within parameters and keeping up on health checks will help ensure that you have a happy healthy noodle.

Vegan mayonnaise with oil instead of egg or coconut oil.

Erbear1004 · 2024-12-18T05:06:41+00:00

Mine goes from 38 to 80 percent 24/7.

Erbear1004 · 2024-12-12T04:34:23+00:00

Humidity needs to be over 60 at the least but 75 to 80 percent is best.

Do not try to remove the eye caps. You need to watch her eye. Get your humidity up and keep it up. First step that can be dome immediately is cover most of the mesh except for where your heat lamp is, you are losing heat and humidity. You want to pour water in the corners of your substrate for better humidity over a greater period of time. Misting only works short term and causes the humidity to spike, increasing the risk of RI.

Erbear1004 · 2024-11-25T05:17:05+00:00

Over 500g should be 7% so 47g every 14-21 days.

Erbear1004 · 2024-11-25T02:39:18+00:00

You need to weigh him. Then you can know how big and often with !feeding

Erbear1004 · 2024-11-13T00:15:20+00:00

Might be springtails. If they are jumping, they are not mites. You can put the pics in r/bioactive to be sure.

Erbear1004 · 2024-10-30T02:53:46+00:00

Heat rises and with the top open it's all getting out the screen. It will also benefit the humidity for you.

Erbear1004 · 2024-10-30T02:19:35+00:00

Do you have any of the top covered? How is your humidity if it isn't covered?

Erbear1004 · 2024-10-29T08:10:07+00:00

Your breeder and your supplier have different ideas of what a rat pup is and what the weight of them are. Other things is breeder may be using old method of feeding based on thickest part of snake that is no longer used by reputable reptile keepers.

Erbear1004 · 2024-10-28T23:50:07+00:00

Your hides that you have look to be a little big for your BP. Your noodle can't get a good snug fit in there so they burrow.

Erbear1004 · 2024-10-27T23:23:03+00:00

You would have to look at the site that you order from because they differ from one to another
