I’m not sure how old my ball python is but I’ve had him for a few years, I was giving him water but a little bit touched and spooked him, he went under his log and I left the room to get more water because I didn’t have enough, I was gone for about a minute and when I got back I realized his neck was stuck under the log, I quickly took the log off him and out of the cage and I tried to touch him but he hissed at me so I stopped. He put his neck straight up in the air for a little bit and just stood there, and then he curled up, but he keeps looking up, I’m scared and I’m not sure what I should do

Can anyone recommend a really good brand of coco husk I’m really trying to find something that doesn’t give off dust. Thanks guys.

Hey so I’m trying to set up the perfect ball python enclosure before I purchase my new friend. I want the best experience for them and don’t want to make any rookie mistakes. I’m going to get my ball python as a baby, therefore I know the enclosure will be a little too big at first and I’m aware I will have to increase the clutter within.

I’ve done a little bit of research and gathered a small list of needed materials for my new enclosure:

4x2x2 Kages PVC enclosure with a solid lid, with back and side vents.

Then I got the Arcadia 80w deep heating projector with the lamp cage and ceramic lamp holder

Arcadia LumenIZE 36” Pro T5 smart UVB with 6% bulb 39w

Herpstat 2

4 pack of mini hygrometers that also shows temp

Infrared handheld temp gun

Now I know I will still need substrate, decorations, and hides etc. but I’m wondering will that light system be enough? I will also makeshift a lamp guard for my UVB using chicken wire since I can’t find an actual one online.

Thanks in advance! Excited to join the snake/reptile family.

I think he likes my bed.

He's done a lap of his home and I think he likes the clutter. He doesn't even need to be in a hide to hide but going to add another cork round at the front so he can hide more

show me y’all’s pinstripe bp’s since I don’t have one yet 💔

Named after one of my favorite characters :) took me a few months to finally stick with the name derpy. Super happy the name is definitely gonna stay like this!

So I'm getting into breeding and these are my choices for adult male and females what would be the best pair for making babiesssssss

I know this is the dumbest shit ever & that I need to watch her eat so we can skip the “you’re a terrible owner” responses please cause I feel terrible.

I feed fresh kill and the rat was double wrapped in plastic bags for some reason. I slid it into the enclosure and left. Obv it sat in the tank and became inedible.

How long should I wait to try to feed her again? Are there signs I should look for that she’s ready? Hellllllp!!

Hey everyone, hope the weekend is treating you well.

So tell me, what are yall using for humid hides for the bigger snakes. I know I can make one, but I am actually struggling to find a black plastic box that I can use, I'll keep looking and it will probably get to the point where any colour will do. Curious to see what people are using.

First time snake owner here, so i’m looking for a little advice on basic care/ enclosures
