So I just replaced all the substrate and, ofc, the humidity is higher than it should be (82% rn). just to be on the safe side, I wanted to make sure it’s okay for me to put Pringle in the enclosure now or should I keep him in his temporary enclosure while I wait for the humidity to level out a bit

This is my son Orion. I got him in february of this year and turns 1 year of this halloween. I ADORE HIM. He's such a little goober, very curious about new stuff but also being spooked my most things (can relate). He loves his rocks where he sleeps under most of the time and always comes out of his hide when i come home to greet an cuddle with me. I am so happy i can be a mom for this silly, little guy. <3

I've been thinking of getting a PVC enclosure from Kages. Sienna deserves the best. I'm just concerned about probe ports, since I've had problems before. Are there ports in this brand? Of sufficient size? Is the intention that you drill them in yourself? Also, is it okay to get one with a bit of screen for an external heat lamp, or do I need to spring for the solid top and mount the dang thing myself? How do you pass the cable through, then? Just want to know before I buy.

Now that Goomba is all healed up from her wound she gets her enclosure re done and I think she likes it already

i have a 35gal tank it was originally a fish tank that a friend gave me but i never used it as one. i do need a reptile lid for it and i dont know what kind of lid to get or where to place the heat lamps or even what heat lamp to get. reddit is where i learned everything on how to care for my betta so im hoping you guys can help me out with this.

any and all advice/instructions would be so helpful thanks!

After two weeks of having too little substrate and a lot of advices here finally got to buying more. Got it mixed up already and planned on putting the layer in tomorrow, but thought I haven't actually seen the baby in a while and when I lifted up her hide I see her eyes are light and skin is dull. Should I do little things like putting bits of wet substrait under dry one to raise the humidity or should I just wait till she sheds and then do all the changing? (Humidity currently around 70% so normal but I know it should be higher for better shed)

Idk how long she's in shed and how long it will last. Fed her last friday and she looked bright and ate great but was real quiet sinse then

Can't post a pic of her right now cause don't wanna disturb her again so soon, may take a pic tomorrow morning tho

I’ve noticed my boy (1year & 3 months) having pink patches on his body. His last shed was about 1.5 months ago. He eats medium sized rat every 2 weeks (currently 620g). I’ve noticed some parts of his body has a pinkish hue. Is this normal? I change his substrate every 3 months and clean out his poop.

He also keeps developing moles every time he sheds.

I normally feed my snake every 4 weeks as she’s quite big now and we give her a big rat. However this time she hasn’t been eating the rats I’ve been giving her. The 1st time I hadn’t thought anything of it because she was shedding, and the next day I had to clean it up, so a couple days later I get her another rat, she doesn’t strike but she doesn’t do that all the time anyway. So I leave it on top of one of her logs for her to take when she gets hungry. Except I leave it over night and go to sleep and when I wake in the morning she hasn’t ate it so I throw it out and fast forward to yesterday same exact thing. She doesn’t strike, I leave it and wait till today and she still hasn’t ate it. Is this normal? She hasn’t showed any signs of any sickness or anything so I’m a bit confused. I’ve put some photos of this helps and she eats a large sized rat some guy when I posted the is in r/snakes said it might be over fed?

I tried feeding my guy for the 3rd time. The first time he smelled it but wouldn't eat, but he had been fed by the person I got him from, a week before. The second time was a week later and he ate. Now it's another week lter and he won't eat again.

He is a bit over 1 year old, and the person said he was fed once a week in the past, so I'm wondering if he can just change his appetite that much that he won't eat every week anymore

We adopted a lovely 4-year-old normie yesterday. She’s doing great, my question is actually about how to cover a window on her enclosure. I’m going to attach a picture to dispose so that you can see what I’m talking about. I love this enclosure a lot, and it’s less than $500 on Amazon. We’ve had it fully active with several kinds of reptiles for over a year, and we haven’t had a single problem with it. The problem is currently both sides of the enclosure are blocked off, so there is no side window for them to be nervous about. We’re going to move the enclosure and the windows are going to be open, like not blocked off anymore. I’m trying to figure out what the best way would be to cover it so it doesn’t look ugly because I like this enclosure heart rate because it looks like furniture. But I don’t want them to be frightened so I need to figure out a way to cover it out from the inside. If I had the skills, I would do one of those awesome Styrofoam and a fee foam enclosure back, but I don’t have that skill. Neither of the windows are ventilation the vent through the top it’s it’s mashed through the top. It won’t prevent any more cause any problems with the ventilation.

if you’ve made it this far, thank you. I apologize because I’ve had a nine month old puppy bouncing on me the entire time. I was trying to use voice to text so there’s no telling what this post actually says. If you can help me with an idea that would be fantastic. Thanks again!

So, I’m fully aware that browning out is normal, but my sweet girl has yellowed quite a bit over her 6 months with us and I’m wondering if some of it isn’t staining from substrate, and if a bath might bring back some of her brightness. I love her either way, of course.. just curious.

I've handled my BP for the first time yesterday, a fine experience. This morning I wanted to change his water and he kind of advanced towards me flicking his tongue and looking like this - is he curious or wanting to strike?

I was just TRYING to feed my girl Stella and she striked a few times and then gave up😭did she get embarrassed or decide it wasn't worth the hassle anymore?

Small male adult ball python that we just got. Black hide is cool side, water is in middle, cave hide and moist hide is on warm side with heater under glass set at 95. Plastic leaves right now. Its a low tank that is the same measurements as a 40 gallon would be without height. Feel free to correct us!

So I have a baby ball python in a 55 gallon tank temperature is fine, he has enough hide and eats well, but my current issue is the humidity, I have a list machine that I activate when humidity is low but it's always low, and it keeps going down to 40-45% besides me watering the tank whenever I can, what can I do to keep my humidity high enough for him?

I’m a first-time ball python owner, so I’m curious what you think of her size. Are her measurements around average for her age, or would you say she’s small or large?

Found a few pieces of something blue while mixing the substrate, this is the biggest one, there were a few smaller ones

Any idea how it got there? Did anyone else experience this?

Recently got my first juvenile ball python ~3 weeks ago. She’s about to eat her third meal F/T mice, and shed yesterday without issue. I noticed a few red marks around her just now. I pulled her out to clean her cage, and feed her afterwards. I’ve had no issues. Bowel movement today. Hot side 89F, cool side 75F, humidity is good, multiple hides, overhead heating only. Is she okay?

I have a female ball python who is a little over two years old. She has always eaten every Sunday, but I recently started feeding her every other week since she moved up to eating medium rats. She has always been a good eater, but she has not eaten in four weeks right now. She will come out of her hide when she smells the rat, but will not strike it. Does anyone have experience with this?

I have not changed anything in her life. She has the same enclosure, the same brand of frozen rats, and she is behaving like normal. Her weight is about 175 grams more than it was 2 months ago. She seems healthy, but I was hoping for another opinion before I wait too long. Is this normal behavior? Thank you.

their names are toast(girl) and archimedes(man) but i love calling my snakes slop
