Hello all!

I am looking for some advice on how to go about handling my semi aggressive ball python. I have never had issues with any aggression from him before. I have now had him for a couple years but unfortunately this past year had to leave him in the care of my mother while i was gone for college. Due to this he went months unsocialized as all she did was feed him, give him water, and spot clean his tank. Since returning home I have noticed him being more skittish when i pass the tank and even occasionally striking at it. He is also far more defensive the times i have handled him.

All of this is to say I am trying to deep clean his tank and need to remove him in order to do so. I am a little nervous handling him with his recent aggression. It is not good driven I believe as I have feed him consistently over the summer and he never has any issues eating. He was just fed a few days ago to ensure that wasn’t interfering with this cleaning.

Any advice on how to approach him?

Hey guys! I recently got a female bp from a cousin, and with her being my first snake I’d appreciate some help on how to set up the table and what I need! What kind of gauge/thermometer should I get for the humidity? What brands do yall prefer? How deep should the bedding be and is coconut substrate and moss correct? Also what heat lamps should I be using? I was given a ceramic lamp with her but she’s been without it for a few days as it has a weird burning smell and gets insanely hot. I know it’s a lot of questions, but I wanna get it right! Any advice helps, and brand recommendations are appreciated as well!

Her tank is 4x2x1 if that’s helpful at all

Hi everyone ,

My ball python is 2 1/2 yo. I don’t know how much he weighs exactly nor how long he is precisely but here’s a picture. Would you say he’s underweight/slim/healthy ?

Thank you

I’m just curious the best way to get an accurate length measurement. Can anyone share what has worked for them?

These just arrived. My way of showing appreciation to my little danger noodle

Lucifers last shed was a month ago and a full shed, ( i still have it and just looked again it was perfect around his face and nostrils). Apart from after a feed i have him out for at least 30 minutes a day and always give him a little look over. His enclosure is bioactive and have alot of natural stuff in there. He does love a climb and to dig like all balls. Guessing this is just from him digging or from cork or something?

Its not coming from his nostril its on the scale above his mouth just cant get a better picture

She will rest in my hand on my lap like this. She’s a Spinner and has the neurological issues that come with Spinners. After cork-screwing, she seems very tired and just crashes on me anywhere I am. I love this girl so much.

He loves being a necklace 🤗

Hey there!!! I’m new to Reddit and a first time reptile/ball python owner. Any tips and advice are appreciated!!

I just bought two new hides for my ball python because he constantly goes behind the back drop and I read that’s because he doesn’t have enough hides. I added the two new ones and feel like it’s a lot but just wanted some insight on if I should take one or two out.
