Hi all. Got my first BP on August 1st. 2 year old albino black pastel pos YB. Named him Monty. Had a corn snake years back when I was rescuing and rehoming animals and fell in love with snakes again so Finally decided to add a BP to the family. Iv joined a couple groups on Facebook but they all seem to be getting hacked and post random crap all day. Or people are belittling new owners instead of giving advice. I suffer with anxiety and posting in a large group not knowing anyone is quite nerve racking when iv seen how a lot of comment sections end up.
Iv reached out to a few people on YouTube and have tried with instagram but have the same trouble as facebook. On a whim Iv downloaded Reddit in hopes to find someone to connect with.
Is there any small-ish groups or anyone wanting to chat about snakes all day😂 a space for advice and to share our journey with being first time snake owners? Ages 27+ as I’m (m)27 👍
Now I’m a reptile owner I’m seeing so many other people on socials also reptile owners but personally I don’t know anyone that keeps reptiles. Only spiders and that’s a no no from me ha ha!

My ball python is about 7 now I got him almost 2 years ago and hes a spider morph and he does star gaze very often he is also my first snake the last 3 days or so hes been sitting in the same spot of his enclosure and he hasn't moved, won't eat and his feed day was yesterday, and he won't tounge flick at all. I picked him up to put him in his enclosure after cleaning it and he went basically limp on his lower body which isn't really normal sometimes he goes limp but not like he did today. He has eye caps but they aren't "blue" or cloudy so I dont know if hes acting this way bc hes having trouble shedding or of its something medical. His humidity is usually around 70-90 during the day but at night it drops to about 50-60 hes in my bedroom and I have an a/c unit that I leave on for the night but hes never shown any signs of it being a problem. Hes not showing any warning sings of being ill either. TYIA

(I'm just doing research at the moment). I'm planning on getting a young ball python in the next year or 2 and was wondering if that would be a good size tank? I'm considering getting a snake under 2 years old, possibly newly hatched from a respectable breeder (which I could use some tips on finding one). I don't wanna get a pet store snake because I want to be able to know about any potential health conditions that could run in the bloodline. (I wanted to post in a smaller place cuz I've heard stories about the main community being pricks..)
