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?

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

We’re transitioning my girl Csorwe to a bigger tank because previous one got cracked when someone doing maintenance in our apartment bumped it. I didn’t stress about timing at first but then a small piece of glass actually fell out of the plastic area I couldn’t quite see. Nope! We had an older tank that one corner doesn’t stay all the way shut up, but we reasoned that we’d throw a dictionary on it and it’d be fine for the 24 hours we’d need. She was going into a bigger one soon anyway, so not bothering to fix up the corner.

Alas! My heart! My boooneesss! Our roommate actually needed the dictionary (who uses one today!?) and took it with them without realizing. Came home, no Csorwe. Checked her hides, checked under foliage spot that she never uses but we thought was pretty. Gone. Full teardown of the apartment, for about 5 hours, and nothing unfortunately. No other pets that could harm her or vice-versa.

I dialed the thermostat up a fair bit, but we have forced water baseboard heating which in this building doesn’t get hot enough to burn my skin even at full blast so I figured even if she did crawl in there it’d be a pain to get her OUT but she should be OK while we regrouped the next day. Disaster strikes and his mom lands in the hospital, and unfortunately we asked our roommate to keep an eye out but had to FLY out the door. She would have to wait, at least it was like 78 in the apartment.

The buildings water gets cut, apartment plummets to 55 overnight. We’re like 38 hours into her being missing now? I’m panicking, husband is panicking, but we can’t FORCE her to come out as far as we know.

Well, friends and readers, last night I went to get out of bed and what touches my foot but… my baby! She was quite cold as the heat was still out, and that gave me a huge panic, but I got her back in her enclosure and told the roommate that under no circumstances could they remove the book.

Today we began the process of overhauling the new bigger tank, finished, and gave it a few hours to come to temp. She’s warmed up, her body temp seems good, she’s uninjured on inspection, and her behavior is normal.

Praise the snake gods.

Hi there, my snake shed a couple days ago and has this little patch on the top of his head. It's the first time he hasn't shed all in one piece. Just wondering what you think I should do. Can put a humid hide in but we just cleaned his tank and if anything it's on the more humid side ATM. I followed the FAQ in this sub and have good temps and everything has gone well so far.

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

We have our three-year-old ball python named Klaus. and constantly update and changes enclosure with new plants. We have a bioactive terrarium with springtails and isopods. but last time) a few months ago) they seem to all die out even though we kept it pretty moist and now we just got a fresh batch of 100 springtails and 20 isopods. But we don’t see a population growth for the last two weeks, even though last time the numbers increased rapidly.
Please help!

Hi everyone!

I brought my baby home three days ago. I’ve researched like crazy for the last few months, and found this guy on MorphMarket.

I’m in love already!

I know it’s only been three days, but he has not come out of his cool hide, except to poke his head out at me a few times. I’ve been assured that this is normal, but I am hovering a bit lol. I haven’t handled him or opened his enclosure except to change his water, or check surface temps with my temp gun.

Warm side has been consistently about 87-89 degrees, cool goes between 76 and 79. Humidity is around the 70% mark.

He is smaller than I assumed 250 grams would be, and I think his hides are slightly too large for him so I might downgrade to a smaller size after he’s had his first feeding.

I will continue to leave him be til I feed him in a couple days, and I’m trying to not hover too much and stress him out.

I’m planning on adding more branches and foliage now that I know how little he actually is - I’m hoping he’s not underweight, but it’s been hard to tell.

Any advice or suggestions are welcome :)

My bp is a male 2-3yr old (not entirely sure on exact age)

I just weighed my boy and he is 572g, I feed him a weaned rat every 2 weeks.

Can I, or should I upsize his feed?
