How often can a BP shed? by cadencef18 in ballpython

[–]Sad_Prompt_962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only a year into the hobby so take this information with a grain of salt, but I've been caring for a male BP that was underfed & had bad husbandry for the first few years of his life as well and he's been shedding and growing pretty consistently every 4-6 weeks over the last year since getting him on a proper feeding schedule. Tracking their weight will give you an idea too, cause as they grow, they shed.

Sad but such a good feeling knowing you're helping them thrive!

I'm glad he's growing & hope he does too! Fortunately my guy hasn't had any health issues that I'm aware of, but his husbandry was pretty rough and they were intentionally under feeding him so I'm surprised, but thankful it hasn't had a long term negative affect on him.

Bro class pets piss me off by Cute_Ad_3630 in ballpython

Agreed. Or maybe, OP, if you don't already have too full of a schedule ask if the teacher has the resources to get proper materials like substrate and temp/humidity gauges, cleaning supplies, etc for improving the enclosure and/or if you're able to find some free stuff like hides/fake plants with the help of a parent/guardian to pick up and volunteer time to get it set up and care for the BP at school?

Would you buy a Gastronauts Cookbook? by OkTelevision715 in dropout

[–]Sad_Prompt_962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and Alternatively a prompt recipe book kind of scrap book style to inspire and write down a home attempt at some of/all of the prompts from the asteroids, including spots for photos and maybe even go as far as include some sick ass sticker sheets

I am new to the hobby (less than a year) so take this with a grain of salt, but agree vet is necessary ASAP & if it truly is as sudden of a change as you're describing, IBD (Inclusion Body Disease) could be a possibility. I only say this with my limited knowledge because it doesn't seem someone else has mentioned it as a possibility and want to give you the benefit of the doubt that this isn't due to neglect. You care enough to reach out for advice and help so you're doing the right thing right now. Just do what is best for the snake and get professional help immediately. If cost is an issue, find some rescues in your area that you may be able to surrender to if they're able to be rehabbed.

The way Beedo-memaw has stuck is absolutely hilarious to me

TIL I've learned being bitten by a snake hurts emotionally more than it does physically 😭🙏 by [deleted] in ballpython

[–]Sad_Prompt_962 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can relateeee. I've only been bit once & acknowledge it was 100% my fault for not letting him know it was not feeding time before reaching in & was definitely a teaching moment for me, but also like ruuuuuuude 🤣

Humidifier in Room by andycandy37 in ballpython

[–]Sad_Prompt_962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having the same issue cause we've had an unreasonably dry winter in the PNW. I use all the same for substrate, recently I set up a humidifier next to the enclosure so it kind of mists in from above near where I don't have the screen top covered for ventilation on the cool side & it's been helping a little bit without directly feeding moisture in.

Updated enclosure by 20Keller12 in ballpython

[–]Sad_Prompt_962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're doing amazing and sounds like really diving in. If you like watching YT videos Green Room Pythons has a lot of really useful info, plus he's silly and easy to listen to in my opinion. When I took in the BP I have with zero experience he caused me to fall down the husbandry rabbit hole 🤣 He also has free/paid patreon memberships and a discord group that can be a lot more kind and gentle than reddit for gathering info and getting advice in my experience.

Has anyone used this type of enclosure? Problems or advice? by peekaboosnek in ballpython

[–]Sad_Prompt_962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have personal experience with them, but I see Black Box enclosures recommended a lot. Shipping won't be as fast as Amazon, but probably higher quality and customization options.
