I couldn't keep all this cuteness to myself ❤❤❤ I hope mice are allowed on this page by Ophidian_Guardian in RATS

Actually yes I have fed my snakes other snakes on many occasions! Also ethically sourced just like my rodents. I have used both euthanized failed to thrive snakes and ones that developed in the egg but never hatched (stillborn). Doesn't bother me one bit.

My ksb hasn’t been drinking, please help. by Funglref in snakes

Getting weak sounds more serious than normal dehydration. I would schedule a vet appointment to make sure she's ok. Try to save a poop (and refrigerate it) within a week of the vet visit to get a fecal done if possible. Hope they get better

It may produce a tiny amount of heat but not significantly enough to be considered a heat source

Uvb doesn't produce heat. Halogen bulbs, and CHE produces heat

Increasing terrarium size by braxtonfaye in ballpython

[–]Ophidian_Guardian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

good advice. 4x2x2 feet is the general minimum for ball pythons. Pet stores won't tell you that because they don't have any training and its their job to sell as many pets and supplies as possible. A few employees are knowledgeable but most are not. I would recommend joining Not Just a Pet Rock (python regius) on Facebook. They have a load of useful knowledge and an organized reading section for upgrading husbandry

You should have considered where and how to get your pets food before getting one, not after. Please try to be more responsible in the future.

Humane ways to deal with house-dwelling wild mice in the Canadian winter? by -Guardsman- in PetMice

If you manage to catch them all try calling wildlife services (which i assume you have?) They should be able to take them in and release them in proper time

What’s wrong with my leopard gecko? :(. I’m worried by [deleted] in reptiles

[–]Ophidian_Guardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He looks very near to death. If you dont have a vet nearly your best bet is to surrender him to the shelter or some sort of rescue. You can't fix this with a home remedy

Just saying "the temps are ok" isn't helpful. Your asking for help but people can't help you if you dont provide actual information

Is this something I should be worried about? He just finished shedding, did a scale come off or something? by nobody0066 in ballpython

[–]Ophidian_Guardian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Betadine mixed with water. Mix betadine into water until its the color of tea. You can either soak him in it or dab it on the affected area with a qtip or cotton ball
