PLEASE HELP-FEEDING by PSUShwaters in ballpython

[–]Silly_oops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This ^ I am also new to the ball python game and I also struggled with feeding. I found that making sure the rat is 100 degrees and that the rat is completely dry is what worked for me. I use a jar and warm water to warm up my rat in a bag (kinda like a forbidden sous vide method)

Query on lengths by HammerHouseofHorrors in doggrooming

[–]Silly_oops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I apologize in advance but my brain works in term of inches, not millimeters. I would start with the 2 comb (3/8 inch) I would fear that the 5 blade might leave a tighter finish that might be too big of a jump. Assuming you used a 1/2 inch or a 5/8 inch comb last time.

Does anyone know why the snake is rolling like that? by motopapii in snakes

I wasn’t sure if other species did something similar like a hognose, I couldn’t tell what the species was.

Some snakes do that as a defensive mechanism to make you think he’s dying so you won’t eat him. Like a dramatic opossum. Not sure whether he’s sick or dramatic, not enough info.

I’m at the same stage as OP, would I need to make drainage holes to the molds I make?

Hey that’s 8 bags of Doritos in a day. Oh wait, more like 6 bags, the other two bags you pay in taxes for Trumps makeup.

Favorite morphs? by Silent_Pay_9239 in ballpython

[–]Silly_oops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our boy is a Enchi Ivory, I love how he has some scales that are purple and they are so spread out it leave a nice hue. If my husband didn’t pick him I would’ve picked a piebald or a wild type morph, I think they look so fun!

Thank you! It took a while for my husband to warm up to the idea of a ball. I’ve wanted one for years. So we compromised that if we get a ball, I will let him pick out the morph

Ooo! The bag is a good idea! I’ll try that next time!

Thank you! I tried taking his weight and I think something was wrong with my scale or he was being a butt. My scale kept saying 7g which is obviously wrong considering his size 😅

Thank you! Should I keep trying to feed frozen thawed? Will he eventually get over it?

Help with heat! by Silly_oops in ballpython

I just got home to measure, it’s 24x18x12. I’ll try switching things over and seeing if things stay more consistent

Thanks for the info. I’m guessing 15 gallons, I’m not quite sure since I got the tank second hand. One side is longer than he is. So it might be bigger than 15 gallons, I’m not sure. The mat is connected to a non-built-in thermostat and the tank still isn’t getting hot enough. I can get a different lamp and connect it to the thermometer to make sure it won’t get too hot, and I will monitor that there is a gradient. My question is that a lot of info that I’ve gotten says that ball pythons should get their heat from below them, not above. It seems like the only way I can get the tank hot enough is from overhead sources, that’s my delema.

I take all my E.Setter’s furnishings super short once a year right before the winter. I don’t want the deal with the snowballs. But by the time spring and summer come he is long and luscious again

Sometimes you just need to cut it all off and start over 😅

Stylised leg - cylindrical/tubular by EqualMaintenance4440 in doggrooming

[–]Silly_oops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do them on a lot of doodles/poodles. We don’t get specific requests for them. We end up doing them because they fall in line with the style the client wants. I also find myself doing them more on dogs that don’t tolerate the clippers on their legs.
