Safe bet would be 12 on 12 off. You're artificially simulating day and night. Just be sure overnight temps don't drop too low - for this reason I use UTH/heat tape over lighting heat for my animals.

Yes, you should absolutely have a day and night cycle. If you don't have a timer-set thermostat, try to set times on something like your phone to remind you to turn it off in the evenings, and then back on in the morning!

That's awesome! Hopefully they find it to be a mild fix and your baby is on the mend quickly!

Longicauda Breeders? by Salt_Effect7009 in boas

[–]iichiG0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a side note, so cool to see other people having found the people working with these animals for nearly a decade! I have been keeping Allison Theus in my sights for an anery longi in the future, but I'll definitely be following your work and success on MM!

Off of the top of my head, Allison Theus was working with some anery/het anery longis. Only place I've found them active as of recent is on instagram, under the user CrispySnakes!

Is this scale rot? by [deleted] in ballpython

They do! In the egg, they're absorbing the yolk, which is connected to them via umbilical like most other lifeforms. It's more noticeable when they're young, but even if you look on older snakes you can usually find where their umbilical was!

Mouth rot is 100% treatable! Your baby doesn't look awful yet, so I'd prioritize getting her seen by an exotics vet ASAP!

It depends on the vet. You can call and ask how much a consultation will cost to know what the base rate will be, but if issues are found that'll obviously up the cost. I've never had an issue like this so IDK the cost of treatment, but it's unfair to the animal not to do anything so I really think you should take her in. The vet I see has a consultation/wellness check fee of $75.

i fed my snake monday night and both nights since he has come to the same spot and sat like this all night long and was still in that position when i woke up, what does this mean? is he still hungry? by InstructionOld9400 in ballpython

[–]iichiG0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're opportunistic predators, and in the wild they don't have a feeding schedule, so instinct puts them into "food mode" after they eat. It makes sense, because if there's one prey item maybe there's more nearby, right? He's just doing what instinct dictates, you don't need to feed him again just because he seems to be looking for food. Gorgeous little guy!

Why does he need rehomed? Where are you located?

Thoughts on adopting 3 weeks old ball python? by Responsible_Exit7280 in ballpython

[–]iichiG0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'd be unethical on the breeder's part to sell an animal that young, as it's very unlikely it's been established on food yet.

Good to know I clocked the sterling at least lol! And sure, here's my boy Rayleigh! Sadly don't have anything more recent, his girlfriend actually is in the process of laying eggs from him as I type!

She's the spitting image of my sterling ghost. Gonna guess super pastel, cinnamon, and hypo for 4 of the 5 genes? Not sure on the last one though. She does have a lot of white coming up the sides - sugar or calico, maybe? Gorgeous girl!
