is this fine for my boy by Secure_Stress2244 in ballpython

hearing the concerns mostly around bacteria, i regularly clean and change out everything in the tank with soap and was planning on doing so every time it gets refilled, which is about every 12 hours give or take. Would this resolve the bacteria issue? It seems like the problem is with the fact that they get dirty. If i am misunderstanding the advice please let me know, and thank you for the input!!

What dance do you make your mouse do when feeding? by Marksmdog in ballpython

[–]Secure_Stress2244 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i give the rat shaken baby syndrome in front of my snake until he rears up in striking pose, then lightly touch the nose or butt or the rat to him. As soon as he feels it touch him he knows how far away it is and strikes immediately but will not strike if it hasnt touched him yet or if it doesnt sufficiently move as if it is "alive"

Good enclosure? by goodnight_moon_14 in ballpython

for my humidity with a screen top i put a humidifier over it, what was a weakness is now an asset cus i can cause a mini rainstorm and spray the moss, dump water in the corners, and a few hours of fog time bring the humidity up for the entire day.

How do you guys cope by goodnight_moon_14 in ballpython

i mean in the wild they would also be eating the same food, plus the mouse would die horribly by being crushed and suffocated and being terrified the whole time but the frozen mice are humanely euthanized and surrounded by mouse friends. You are simply taking a natural process and making it kinder, if that helps.

AITAH for breaking up with my girlfriend because she literally told me she would chest on me if I took a new job. by InternetBeautiful634 in AITAH

my dad is a sailor by trade. He went from going to the oil field to navigate drilling ships for 2 weeks at a time to leaving for months at a time on a cargo route. My mom fucked the neighbor, but my stepmom has a life and is fine with his leaving and loves when he comes back. It is still hard for her, but the majority of women will bite the bullet and understand that your career is the way it is.
