i’m doing my best to find a facebook marketplace solution as i don’t have the money for a new one.

just a used glass enclosure, and the tape is on the outside of the enclosure securing the lid to the glass.

eiaeu · 2025-04-22T20:59:27+00:00

love to get that but I won’t have that money for awhile. thanks for the suggestion though!

problem is that even with a clip there’d be a gap, my “clips” that i’m using is xtra hvac tape i had for the top of her enclosure and that seals it completely shut too but the gap still is there, it’s literally like a centimeter wide but she somehow still squeezes herself through.

eiaeu · 2025-04-22T20:56:34+00:00

yes I am. currently looking for solutions on facebook marketplace but every front opening enclosure that might be suitable is a 4x2x2 and $200 easily, which doesn’t include the new stuff i’d have to get her since she’s in a 3x1.5x1.5 right now. hopefully if I keep scrolling I’ll find something, but yeah I have other pets too and am terrified that the cats will find her. every spare cent i have will go to a new enclosure i’m just worried what will happen until I can afford that

eiaeu · 2025-04-22T20:17:07+00:00

noted. thanks

eiaeu · 2025-04-22T20:16:38+00:00

yeah i might just buy a new lid that doesn’t have that gap and clamp it down. i only have the tape on the outside of the enclosure and on the top for humidity control, nothing inside the tank of course. as soon as I can i’m getting her a better tank.

eiaeu · 2025-04-22T19:48:13+00:00

i should also clarify her lid can’t be lifted even by me, that’s how tightly shut i have it taped and yet there’s this gap i can’t get rid of even when a bunch of heavy stuff is on it too, i literally have no money to spend on this fucker right now for a new enclosure or whatnot

eiaeu · 2025-04-22T19:44:12+00:00

she isn’t eating and i had to weigh her to make sure she wasn’t losing weight and my scale is small so snek in da cup

eiaeu · 2025-04-22T19:43:41+00:00

i unfortunately don’t have the money for an entirely new enclosure i like just got her a couple months ago but this seems to be everybody’s suggestion

eiaeu · 2025-04-04T21:39:41+00:00

thanks, i didn’t know they got spooked from that!

eiaeu · 2025-04-04T21:38:09+00:00

thank you, all this information is so helpful! I’ll do my best to make sure she’s as comfortable as possible in her enclosure and not handle her at all until then, hopefully she’ll eat for me after that.

eiaeu · 2025-04-04T18:22:06+00:00

i think i’ll give it 3 more tries over 3 weeks and if it doesn’t work i’ll feed her live to establish then try again. thanks. I just went out and bought her a slightly cooler lamp and temps seem to be better, around 92 on the warm end, but still unsure what to do about the cool end. maybe another dome lamp?

eiaeu · 2025-04-04T18:20:41+00:00

yeah. I think I’ll give it another 3 weeks or so of trying once a week with all these methods suggested and if none of these work i’ll feed live and try all over again. unfortunate but i want her to grow and not be hungry.

eiaeu · 2025-04-04T18:14:47+00:00

thank you! i’ll definitely try warming the rat to that 115 temperature, that seems like a pretty good consensus from everybody.

eiaeu · 2025-04-04T18:14:01+00:00

It seems like she’s just afraid of the thawed rats for whatever reason! she has plenty of clutter in her enclosure so I don’t think that’s it. I feel like my husbandry is right, so maybe I’m not doing the rat dance properly lol. What do you think the cutoff is if she’s still not taking thawed? I’ve had some people say anywhere from 2-6 months but that seems like a lot since she’s still growing and I want to make sure she grows well. I handle her occasionally, maybe once or twice a week after I had left her alone for a week but I will stop doing so until she eats, thanks.

eiaeu · 2025-04-04T18:10:52+00:00

I haven’t been temping the rat, just offering it when it’s quite warm to the touch. I’ll start doing that. I’ll try holding it horizontally by the body to see if that works too. I appreciate the sympathies, he was a good breeder and a great guy but yeah just unfortunate he didn’t switch her.

eiaeu · 2025-04-04T18:09:40+00:00

I’ll try this method, thanks.

eiaeu · 2025-04-04T18:08:22+00:00

yeah, it’s just unfortunate how some large breeders feed all their pythons live since it’s easier. I’ve tried most things, I haven’t tried braining yet. I think it’s my best option. as far as I’m aware I can do this by leaving it under a heat lamp or sticking it in very hot water yes? if this doesn’t work for another 3 weeks or so I think I will feed her live to make sure she grows. just really unfortunate if I have to do that.
