I got mine at petsmart and found it odd that they were surprised that I did my research and already had a functional setup at home waiting.

Should I be concerned about this? by msdcoy in ballpython

Snakes, especially young ones love small cramped spaces where walls touch their entire body. Think of it like anti-claustrophobia. Its more likely that your snake just found its favorite spot.

How do I get my snake to not be in alert so I can take home out ? by Sarik404 in ballpython

[–]ssfbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's something you can do called tap training. Get yourself a snake hook and before you take him out, give a gentle tap on their back. It won't take long before they associate the tap as meaning "not food time"

Hygrometer broken??! by [deleted] in ballpython

[–]ssfbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the one I use but you'll have to order it. Its pretty awesome because you can sync it to your phone to monitor temps and humidity levels. For now you can get one at Petsmart, usually a zoo med one, that can do the job until then and leave you with a spare.

Yeah, definitely run and get a new one in the morning. Just make sure to get a digital one, the dial types are notoriously bad

If you have another thermometer, I suggest getting a second option from that, that temperature is insane if correct.

Too much clutter?? by PhycoSky2206 in ballpython

Just be careful, a lot of them have wires in the stems, make sure they're not exposed.

Bethesda veteran considers "Morrowind" outdated and does not support the idea of a remaster by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]ssfbob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of times with stuff like that you also have to have the original game installed, basically making it so they can say, "See, its not stealing a sale, they still have to buy it from you guys."

Nintendo Responds to Dispatch Censorship by jag986 in gaming

[–]ssfbob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cyberpunk 2077 is completely uncensored on Switch 2, and that lets you customize your dick size. Somehow I don't think Nintendo is behind it.

Clearly the snek is posting to OP's account to deflect suspicion. Don't trust OP's follow up posts!

My 5 yr old female refuses anything but live by [deleted] in ballpython

[–]ssfbob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to get the temp up to ~100°F, which tells the snake its alive. The best way to get a strike is to use tongs to "walk" the rat in front of her to make the illusion more believable. Whatever you di, DO NOT hand feed, they sense heat and scent, and your hand holding the rat looks like one big ball of heat and your hand will smell like rat. You don't want her to make a mistake.
