BALL PYTHON: SNAKE EXPERT, HELP?

A healthy ball python can eat quite a bit - they have a tendency to get chubby. For some reason, my ball python was more sensitive to correct humidity levels than any other snake I had. When the humidity got too low, it would get 'flaky' skin issues and lose appetite.

+1 on the suggestion for a ceramic heating element.

You should never leave your snake alone with live prey. I personally never had a snake strike at me and I always fed in the snake's primary tank.

Good luck - snakes are awesome pets and are easy to care for. I'd get another one if my wife wasn't so creeped out by the idea.

 

thanks!

yeah im thinking my issue has to be the humidity. im getting one after pay day
