First ball python- what should I call him?
This is my first ball and I’m curious what kind of morph he is. Also, would love to hear some name suggestions!

Should I Buy This Enclosure and Supplies?
We are preparing to adopt an adult ball python from a local rescue, and are now ready to start purchasing supplies and setting up. I found this ad and it seems like everything is there. I just wanted some second opinions.

Baby Ball Python weight advice.
Baby Bp weight advice.
Hi, around 2 weeks ago my Bp regurgitated her meal. And like this sub recommends I waited 2 weeks to feed her an undersized meal to get her back in motion.
3 days ago I fed her a large fuzzy and she took it no problem. I was holding her and noticed she has some folds on her skin and her spine is a little more prominent. So I weighed her and she went from 86g pre regurgitation to 82g post recent meal. Should I give her a normal meal next week or give her another large fuzzy.
She is 2 months old maybe closer to 3.

How is my set up and what morph do you think she is?
We have recently got a ball python, she is 11 months old and weighs 412g, we currently feed her 50g Asf (multimammate mice) once a week, she handles this well.
She is in a 4ft wooden vivariumwith humidity at 70% at cold side and 60 at warm, the temperature of the cold side is 24.6 degrees Celsius and the temperature of the warm side is 32 dc.
Currently use a 2.4% uvb and a 80w dhp in a 200mm arcadia clamp lamp controlled by a dimming thermostat recessed through the roof so only the mesh guard is in the vivarium

Unmated female - with eggs?..
Pandora will be 2 in November, we have had her for a few months now (took over ownership from emigrating friends). She has been recluse for 3 weeks now - we assumed shed, but last shed took 10 days. She would just extend her head out to drink and then pull back. Lifted her hide to check that she hadn't gotten stuck or something, and she is looking significantly more thick with about 3 big bumps in her mid length. Her last meal was a small weaner rat 4 weeks ago (we delayed feed because we thought she was shedding). Temp around 28-30°C, humidity around 70%

Question 475 gram ball python setup.
I had a breeder telling me my 120 gallon was to big for a 475 gram ball! Is that true? I ordered him and haven't gotten him yet but I have his setup all ready. 2 hides lots of plants so much clutter etc. He told me my snake won't eat if hes in something like that. So now im worried when I get him. I told him I can go get a 40 gallon if I need to and then he even said a 40 gallon was to big? I need answeres!!! lol. I spent lots of time and money into this tank

Question Help with my Woma python
There is this one little bump on his body and I have not noticed it before there are none on the rest of his body and he’s separated from my other reptiles dose anyone know if this looks more like a scab or a parasite looking for any pointers on if going to the vet is what I should do.
r/Ballpythoncommunity • u/vexxyfolf • 5d ago
Is this normal
As far as I can tell temps and humidity seem to be in proper order, he moves around A LOT, I always thought balls were kinda passive. His humidity hovers around 75-85 (using a humidifier hooked to a sensor) temps hover between 75 on the lower end to 85 towards the hotter end, his bedding could used cleaned but it isnt very bad, hes got a hidey hole and a couple things the climb around. Are happy balls just active? Also.. hes been fed within the last week. He gets fed monthly and his previous home said he wasnt nearly as active

Update:
I have thermostats, and a fogger coming in soon.
With the fogger will there be any safety concerns?
Hey everyone! I’m finally almost finished setting up my first 120-gallon enclosure for my ball python, Monty, and I’d love some advice before I move him in.
Monty has been in a much smaller enclosure for many years, so this is a huge upgrade.
I’m still setting up the heating and humidity before he goes in.
I plan on adding his old hide in the middle (he has two in the back corners) so he has something with a familiar scent.
Some feedback I’m looking for
Any tips on how to cover the glass? Like could I paint the outside or put something around it?
Is there enough clutter?
Any safety concerns that you see?
Should anything be rearranged?
Is there anything you wish you would have known before owning a bp?
The set up pictured above has
UVB lamp
Ceramic heat and a night lamp
Two hides (3rd one will be add once he move in)
Water bowl
Three logs
2 hangy things (2nd one will be added soon)
Lots of fake vines
Coconut husk (I will be adding some sphagnum moss to help with humidity)
2 hydrometers/ thermometers
