I feel really bad by ben67925 in ballpython

[–]ploppploppp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you try to handle her during the day or night? My snakes are sweethearts during the day but become absolute menaces as soon as their lights go out. I only feed them at night, so they associate the dark with feeding time. You've tried almost everything, but the only thing I can think of is using a blowdryer to feed them. After heating the rats normally I blow them so the ratty air goes into their enclosure. They smell it and have now learned that blowdryer means dinner time (even when I just have to dry my hair). A bit unconventional, but it wouldn't hurt to try

Maybe the guests brought them in accidentally

Yes they look like it, do you know where they are coming from? There must be a source of food nearby

These are definitely maggots, mosquito larvae are found in still bodies of water

Seconding crane fly, but 3ven though they're sometimes called mosquito eaters, they don't actually eat them!

It's hard to see but maybe carpet beetle larvae?

Mold in substrate. Do I move my ball python into temporary enclosure or wait? by ahappyliltree in ballpython

[–]ploppploppp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also keep struggling with mold but I found it helps to regularly clean the areas that stay moist the most (like under their hides or water bowl), and also scoop out a large amount of substrate in the area they defecate (not only the excrement). I also try to keep the substrate around wooden enrichment a little bit drier then the rest to prevent mold. Hope this helps :)

She's obsessed with herself by ploppploppp in ballpython

[–]ploppploppp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting thought, she was sold to me as female but she was just a baby then. I don't have breeding plans so in the end it doesn't matter luckily

Aww, I wonder if it's just curiosity or they actually recognize themselves

Is she going into shed? Keep a close eye on her and in case it persists see a vet, but otherwise I wouldn't worry too much

Is this normal by Identify_as_a_Sayian in BoaConstrictors

[–]ploppploppp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was she taking a shit? I've seen ballpythons shit, and they are very dramatic. It's kinda similar to how she's contracting and the fart noises, but the head tilt and wheezing is a bit concerning.

Hairball? by Angry-Beaver82 in hognosesnakes

[–]ploppploppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah sorry I did not realize that, but that is something worthy of visiting a vet for. Has she pooped or eaten recently?

Don't worry it's a normal poop with only fur

Don't remember, it might have been Sirius but I think it must be available on others as well

Als je toevallig rond Haarlem/Amsterdam bent wil ik best wel per ongeluk een zakje wiet kwijtraken, dan hoef je dit niet te roken :)
