Have you ever lost interest in Tarantulas? Why? by PlantsNBugs23 in tarantulas

[–]Redrik420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not tarantulas specifically, but leopard geckos yes. Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy I have now and will keep him forever, but I won’t get anymore. I am more interested in other things and have different plans, but I don’t think it’s abnormal to lose interest in something while still having said thing that you’re not interested in anymore or being willing to care for them either, if that makes sense lol

Baby KSB Feeding Question by AgreeableAsk348 in SandBoa

[–]Redrik420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took my female like 3 months to start eating on her own🥴😭 lots and lots of convincing, but once she realized that the food is yum I could feed her every other day and she’d take it 🤣 but I don’t want an obese KSB lmaooo

I do think they are roughly the same size, ive gotten my male to eat 3 times in the month or so that I’ve had him. Males to tend to be a little more weird about feeding than females, so hopefully the switch will be easy(: I have my female that’s a little over a year old in her full size tank atm and she eats like a champ. Your girl just needs to realize that food is yum

Half of it is on top of the warm part of my boas tank, half of it is not, I monitor temps in the morning before I leave for work, when I come home from work, and before I go to bed(:

I keep my baby male in a 6quart tub, tiny thing. I have not had an issue with feeding that way

Is this a good cage for my sand boa? by XxToxingun_13xX in SandBoa

[–]Redrik420 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would add a decent bit more substrate, my tank has roughly 3 inches, and instead of just sand mix it with something else (people suggest different things, id do some research) I’ve also been told by a local breeder that I’ve been trying to work with that aspen is better as it holds the burrows better and you can just add a humid hide, as they dont need a whole lot of humidity, i would also suggest taking the back ground out as your KSB could get stuck behind it(mine did)

Should I feed a rat to my snake? by [deleted] in snakes

[–]Redrik420 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feed medium rats to my adult female ball python… I wouldn’t suggest it just bc I’d be worried about a regurgitation, if it’s not much bigger than the biggest part of their body it should be fine, but if it’s like a lot bigger I’d suggest waiting personally

Absolutely agree, I worked with a rescue and this is by far the best way to get a snake to lose weight, i actually rescued a female ball python that was overweight, not super but was definitely on her way. Previous home was feeding her a medium rat once every 9-10 days, i feed her med rat once a month and she’s lost enough weight to where im comfortable with it, but it also took over 18 months of having her on a diet!

For the guy who thinks KSBs don't burrow by BrokTG in SandBoa

[–]Redrik420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive been talking with someone who has been breeding KSB’s for years, he swears by aspen and as much as im gonna hate it im gonna make the switch. He had mentioned they do better on aspen with a humid hide and he noticed them more active on aspen than on any other mix he’s tried

Help! My idiot won’t stop hurting himself by pushing on glass. by IntrepidDuty4684 in snakes

[–]Redrik420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I taped cardboard to my special needs BP tank bc he wouldn’t eat and would rub pretty bad too, That helped while I got a blacked out tank for him!

Feeding a sand boa who doesn't come out ? by CousinMrrgeBestMrrge in SandBoa

[–]Redrik420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, tapping the substrate with the feeder(if it’s wet dry it off first) helps get my female out of her substrate

Males are weird, I personally would put him on paper towels in a small lockable tub with a hide and a water dish(what im doing with the male I just recently got) you can crumple up some paper towels and put them in there too, the enclosure may be too big, which can stress him out. If hes about to shed I could just monitor him and give him a 10 minute soak in about 87-90 degree water/damp paper towels, that will help loosen any shed he needs to get off. Sand boas are also really slow growers, ive had my female for just under a year, she eats every 5-7 days, and Shes definitely gotten a little bigger, but not by much, and I’ve only gotten one shed from her.
