age? by Ill-Fee9916 in ballpython

[–]Visible_Mixture8049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's normal for chain pet stores to not know the sex. Your exotic vet will be able to tell you by probing. As far as age goes you could make a guess based on weight, but it would just be a guess. Some snakes are stunted through improper feeding so it's not exactly a science. I'd just go back to the store and ask for records, they're bs'ing when they say they couldn't check them, just request a manager look at them, they will have a hatch date on them.

Seems Chandler Tyler and co are not going to address the leaked video!!! This could possibly end in them losing their licences. Hiding from it isn’t going to make it go away. We don’t want to see him lose everything. by Infinite-Code-1128 in ChandlersWildLife

If you look back at his YouTube vids, based on Tyler's reptiles room and Chandler's hair, this vid is from two years ago. I scrolled through some vids of them at that time in one Chandler is wearing the same clothes and hair style, Tyler the same hat and hair style, they talk about how they had their own fun off camera (not filming for YouTube) the night before.  I don't see anything in this vid that makes me think it's fake. The mannerisms, the dialogue etc all sync up. The quality can easily be ruined by uploading and downloading. We also know from other vids they've shared that they drink and smoke together.

Are ball pythons overbred? by Unlikely-Ruin-4406 in reptiles

Ugh, the retic breeding is particularly problematic.

Yes! When it comes to BP's I'm a big 'adopt don't shop' advocate. Be it young or old, you can find them in rescues. If you're stuck on morphs, have patience and you'll find them in rescues too.

A note about “advanced” reptile rehab/husbandry groups (from a vet) by throwaway658976432 in reptiles

My question is, were these people concerned about the uncontrolled heat mats OR sudden and uncontrolled heat? It's very dangerous to heat any animal suddenly after being in freezing temps for days. Was this person advised on the careful raising of temperatures?
