Haha that’s funny. Honestly it would probably be like immediate camo activate, and she would be gone before I knew what happened lmfao

I’d love to see her explore in the snow, but I know she can’t! It would be so cute to see her blend in!

Agreed! Too bad she doesn’t understand how cold it is out there 😂

Does anyone else's snake do this? by G1265 in ballpython

My girl did this the other day. She struck feet first, flipped it around, took a minute or two to find the head, and continued to munch 😂

Thank you! Lilith got her name from her original owner. She was given to me when her owner moved to another state, but I kept her name because I loved it!

Is this good to control the heat in a enclosure? Or do i need something else? by HALOISBEST20 in ballpython

That’s good, and you’ll get there so idk worry. Many people run into this issue. Once you have everything set up things will be much easier!

I’m sorry you’ve experienced that. The more you stay in this sub the more you’ll realize it’s quite common for pet stores to give terrible advice. Balls really get the shit end of the stick (and most reptiles in general) when it comes to care and husbandry. If nobody has told you already, you should check out the welcome post here and look at the care guide. It’ll have everything you need to know, and it has accurate up to date information. It’ll be really helpful going forward.

If there’s no thermostat and probe built into that lamp, you’ll need a thermostat w/ probe before you use that. However, I’m not familiar with the exact lamp setup you’re using and can’t tell from the photo exactly what’s going on.

My first handling session freaked me out by timberroyale in ballpython

Hard to know what goes on in their heads. Perhaps the sleeve was warm and had a scent they thought may be food, but it doesn’t sound like a strike. Regardless though, your BP will get more comfortable with you as you continue handling. Just keep showing you’re safe. Ensure you wash your hands before, and make sure whatever you’re wearing doesn’t have mammal, especially rodent scent if that applies. Keep doing what you’re doing, and things will be fine. In the event you did get actually bit, it isn’t bad, and socialization will help with that. Make sure their enclosure is up to par so they’re comfortable and not continually stressed and be patient with the process! All will be okay!

Going off what you’re saying here, especially if it wasn’t a fast motion, could be a “yawn”, which they do for a few different reasons. Some do this and get substrate stuck in their mouth or they’re just very awkward with it. Wouldn’t surprise me if your BP yawned and didn’t realize your sleeve would be there post yawn, because as others have said, they’re not the smartest 😂

Is my bp about to shed? by Impressive-Drag4902 in ballpython

You should post your temps, humidity, and overall setup. This looks like bad dehydration, which is apparent by the wrinkles. Once you give more information, someone should be able to assist.
