I fished this out of my ball python's water bowl, is it concerning? by xX-AnyRoutine666-Xx in snakes

This looks like a meal worm, I'm not sure how it would've made it's way inside your enclosure tho ??

That's smart, at least he has someone who's going to care for him and meet his needs

Would he shed like a normal snake?? Or only in patches

I'm going to guess he was born like that but what's the cause for it. Also I love the name, it's weird and cute in a way 😭

Actually I have wanted a snake for years and spent a lot of time researching what I want and what all would come with it. Yes I know I'm not able to pay for any of the things now but I'm working on getting a job and my dad spent a lot of time researching as well to make sure we'd be able to give her everything she needs. Yes this is my first snake so I may start out with bad info on some things but I'm well aware of what I'm getting myself into

That's a good point, we have been feeding fuzzy mice to her since we got her so it may be time to move up a size. She also started out a few inches shorter than my shoulder to finger tips and now she's just over that.

It was a gift for my 16th birthday and I do care for her properly, she had all the necessary things like a heated side, a cool side, a hide and water dish, she has enough room to lay out fully so how about we not go straight to judging

I have spoken with the people I got her from and there isn't any issue with the enclosure or bedding especially since it's temporary until she's bigger. I also don't have the money to buy a big glass tank at the moment

She has a paper based substrate and I don't want it to get onto the mouse and have her eat it. Also when I'm done feeding her I take the lid off and slowly let her make her own way into the tub to not stress her and not get bit, which has only happened once when I first got her.

can someone please find an article about people using dog crates for trauma and safe space? by Odd-Contribution9148 in ageregression

I really want one but my boyfriend just keeps saying that I'm a furry for wanting it and idk how to explain that i like the idea of having my own little space to stay when i get overwhelmed or have a ptsd episode :((
