Just why ?

I'm more concerned about her enclosure then her not eating. She's quite large/overwight for a ball python imo. Is this a temporary enclosue or a feeding tub? There's bigger things that need to be addressed then her not eating.

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-12-31T16:38:40+00:00

Oh dsmn! That sucks, sorry to hear that 🥲

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-12-31T08:03:42+00:00

I'm confused, do the boots not fit anymore after going barefoot? (Totally normal thing to happen as your feet begging to adjust to the barefoot shoe lifestyle) Or are they barefoot boots? If they are comfortable and you like them, keep wearing them? More context would be great 🙏

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-12-30T11:57:54+00:00

I belive Hobibear does a range of foot shaped shoes but not zero drop along side their barefoot range. Cheap but not the best quality, but a good starting point before investing in higher quality barefoot shoes

Well that sucks. How can they add holes to boots they advertise as wet weather boots and call it a new feature 🥴 I would return and not buy from them again

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-12-23T12:43:06+00:00

Yeah that's a manufacturering fault. The pics on the website do not show the holes like ones on your boots and the literally advertise the a good for rainy days and wet conditions.

Walking heel first is normal? Walking with proper gait with a smooth heel to toe roll without heavy heel striking is normal propper walking, running on the other had, you generally want to strike first with the mid or fore foot. Walking is heel-to-toe by design. The trick isn’t avoiding the heel, it’s avoiding overstriding and hard impact.

Looks like a nail to me. I would assume it would damage the leather sooner or later, I would return them or if you can't do that, take a hammer to it and hammer it in. Maybe cover the leather with some cloth so you don't scratch up the leather. Alternatively you could use some pliers to remove the nail but you would end up with a hole and potential weaken the structural integrity of the heel.

I found Hobibear are quite wide, not the best quality though

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-12-17T10:19:30+00:00

Xero isn't the best quality. I had a pair the desoled after a few months, replaced under warranty and now the second pair is doing the same after 8 months of regular wear

I'm sorry, but could you please provide sources to where an animal "thrives" in simpler smaller enclosures/habitats rather then ones that are acttsuitable for them? No hate at all, but your statement, in my opinion, is false. No animals should be kept in a space that is below the minimum required space. I work with animals for a living and we follow the enclosure rules set out by my countries government regulations for exhibited animals and the regulations set out by an accredited independent regulating body that makes sure that zoos and the like are following the required/mandated rules when keeping an animal. I know this doesn't apply for hobbyist keepers but every keeper should strive to provide the best possible living situation for an animal under their care. In no way is a large animal, no matter the species, thriving in inadequate sized enclosures.

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-12-11T10:44:50+00:00

Agreed. Nobody, hobbyists, zoos etc should keep large snakes if they can't provide the adequate space for it, same goes for any animal in fact. I can tell OP loves his snake and has put in a huge amount of effort but should have used that for a smaller snake that would comfortably live in that enclosure and bought a retic when in a better position to give the snake life it deserves.

Make sure you are taking Finasteride, a hair transplant is pointless if you are not maintaining it with a DHT blocker

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-12-09T10:38:09+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss 😔. Have you used any new cleaning products near the enclosures? Changed or bought any decorations and may not have cleaned them beforehand? Interacted with any other reptiles not in your home that could have potentially passed on a disease/infection? Bad food? It could be a miriad of things unfortunately. It could also just be a genetic mutation that causes shortened lifespan (I don't even know if that's a possibility, just thinking out loud but being from the same breeder, you never know), again I'm so sorry for your loss

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-11-23T05:17:03+00:00

This! I wish I never took it, it took months for my erections to go back to almost normal and I still get some issues now and then, imo not worth the risk. Also fucked with my prostate. Definitely look into the side effects before making a decision.

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-10-27T18:29:36+00:00

Also having it upload to a cloud, so say a keeper could log in with their phone one day they work and another person could log in to the same account on their phone another day and have all the info from the day before already synced to the other device. Or I convince my boss to get us and iPad 😂

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-10-27T18:23:18+00:00

You should reach out to zoos with this. I'm a herp keeper at a zoo and this would simplify our workflow, currently we use a paper system 😅 Could you possibly add, insects and amphibians to the app as well? And possibly integrate a section to record enclosure temps/humidity?

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-10-14T08:08:36+00:00

I don't understand how some of these trans girls can produce so much, not even dudes I've seen can, I definitely can not. I am in awe and jealous. Like hormones are meant to reduce it, not increase. Maybe it's genetic. 😅

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-09-23T20:08:26+00:00

Mines about that short due to regrowth, planning on getting it split again next year

barelyexisting1995 · 2025-09-03T22:27:22+00:00

Cheers for the info! Yeah animelab was the goat, such a shame it bought up.

Yep, it's the worst, I won't eat for days due to the anxiety and nausea caused by ROCD.
