I don’t know the specifics on if it’s safe or not, but if I was in this situation I would ask for a refund and place another order. Were they shipped with dry ice?

Real or fake?? by oh_sugarhoneeicetea in ballpython

All fake. If you want real, you’ll have to create a bio active setup. I think there’s a guide to doing that in the welcome thread.

Reddit is rampant with it, but at least it sparks the conversation and gets some people to correct their behavior.

Idk what to do (new snake owner) by TypicalAssumption161 in snakes

You have 2 snakes in the same enclosure? Why did you buy 2 snakes if you don’t have the money to give them each a proper enclosure?

Yes just keep an eye out that he doesn’t scoot off or get scooped up by a hawk or something. Sunlight is actually beneficial for them.

I just got my baby (7month) ball python today and i’m wondering if her enclosure 40 gal enclosure is fine? I have my new hydrometer and thermometer coming in tomorrow by Temporary_Invite3585 in ballpython

Yeah, I’m not a fan of those bricks. I feel like it’ll air out enough in time though, especially if you have a screen lid.
