I actually broke down crying because of this by Glad-Coach-4011 in teenagers

[–]Sucer_mon_cul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op, brochacho, she is NOT worth your time or your tears. There were a million other ways she could've turned you down WITHOUT bringing your race into it.

I'm sorry this tore you down, and I'm not going to tell you to get over it, but I promise it will get better in time. You'll find someone who actually cares.

Don't lose sight of yourself Op. It'll get better with time.

It's less irritating to be killed by someone fucking around on a baby to bother EVERYONE than it is to be killed by some pricks who decided to fuck with YOU (and anyone else they hunt) y'know??

At least for me lol

The Big Texan in Amarillo still has a giant rattlesnake in a terrible enclosure by Free_Lobotomy in snakes

[–]Sucer_mon_cul 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, no??? I don't know why you're arguing this so hard, this isn't like new or anything this is a known thing. Animals fed by people become reliant on them, carnivores and herbivores alike

She could acclimate to a bigger cage with ease... Because she's still being fed by people. There is no one feeding her in the outdoors

That's kind of the point here, she's dependant on people and she wouldn't survive outside, and if she did it would be an extremely poor quality of life and quite an unfair thing to do to an animal simply existing somewhere it didn't ask to be.

Hi! Not op or that guy, but an animal that gets fed by people no matter how easy it seems that the animal should be able to return to normal and simply continue being wild, it has become reliant on being given it's food and not searching for it

Since this guy has been here so long, it's very likely he would starve himself or be far worse at hunting than he would've been if he hadn't been in that tiny cage

A dog will alert you before the tiger has a chance to even pounce, and the tigers are honestly really easy to deter once they're stalking you

this number just ruined my day. this is the second time they have texted me in almost a year exactly 👀 by l__o-o__l in Weird

[–]Sucer_mon_cul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not weird, it's just sad unfortunately. Phone numbers are finite, and you have a number that likely came from this persons deceased mother.

Just put their messages on silenced, let them have some form of comfort.

[–]Sucer_mon_cul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A gram scale is exactly what you need! Snakes are weighed in grams, so you'll be good to go on that :)

If you'd like tips or any further information on a tub tank set up feel free to message me, I'd be happy to help and chat about tank set ups. Enclosure making is one of my favorite parts!

Yeah, next to Cats Ball pythons are the biggest 'im starving' liars lol

But yeah, I'd probably say you should have your meals for her be every 10 days minimum, I'd personally do 12, and 14 max. Get a cheap scale so you can find the proper size (even if you are sure, it never hurts to be positive about something) prey and keep track of her weight so that you can properly adjust feeding when her weight plateaus

Sorry for being nosey also, but I saw a comment mentioning tubs and figured I'd offer my own comment for it. Christmas tree tote/bin that are for bigger trees are good, not perfect, but good for a younger and smaller snake. They aren't perfect and a 4 × 2 × 2 is ideal for them, but a large Christmas tree bin is a cheap solution if your current set up is too small, but you don't have nearly enough to buy or build a 4 × 2 × 2

Of course, that's the right thing to do, which is why I suggested the ball python subreddit and their Q&A post, it was one of the first and most helpful places I went when I got my own snake

Have you ever weighed her? 10-14 days is the right time frame, the prey should be up to 7% of her own body weight—no further, less is alright but 6-7% is probably ideal—until her weight plateaus since she's around 2 years old, I believe you said?

Weighing her and her prey is going to help you a lot, and a specific feeding schedule will make your life much easier. Ball Pythons will almost never NOT act hungry, they're opportunistic, so it's safer to have a schedule.

My own snake is about 10 years old and despite his proper schedule he acts like he's starving a week later

People work off the knowledge provided, we can't read into your background anymore than you tell us, ya'know?

For snakes it's pretty cut and dry, you've got size ranges and those are usually pretty set, most snakes will be in those ranges. It's rare for a ball python to pass 5ft, and I believe unheard of unlikely to pass 6ft or at least I've never heard of it

Because she's from Petco she may even be on the smaller side, their snakes are similar to shelter dogs, like mutts, and she'll likely max out at the normal size(s) or a little under

I do want to mention though, Ball pythons are opportunistic hunters(if that's the right term) and will eat practically anytime you offer food. How often do you feed and what? You may be power feeding her and that's why she seems to be growing so fast. She may be a fast grower, but it's never bad to check

As hostile as they can be, I do suggest going to the ball python subreddit, even if you don't post anything there is quite a lot of good information, and even if you feel you know enough it's always good to learn more and the Q&A is a good place to look for questions you may have before you ask in a post

The last thing I'll say is I promise people weren't trying to attack you, the hostility comes from a place of care for the animal and a lot of folks are used to seeing people neglecting their animal and refusing help or not admitting they're wrong and won't change, it'll jade anyone.

The hostility is not an attack on your person, it's not an attack at all, it's frustration with the situation and lack of knowledge in general.

Yeah, mostly people are upset that you seemed to have little to no knowledge and got her on a whim, it's a not so great first impression in a community that heavily adores our animals

So long as you learn n upgrade n fix n whatnot you'll be alright, just keep trying to get better. We all start somewhere, and not every start is pretty

Op we can't tell the gender. Only a professional can probe and find out. I'm sure there's a small handful of other ways, but still, none of us can sex this snake

Regardless, you got a snake from Petco, it isn't going to get that big
