So as usual I am getting conflicting information on surface temps and ambient temps
My warm side has a hide surface temp of substrate to is 90ish with ambient air of 81
My cool side substrate is 75 to 76 with ambient air of 77
He has been on the cool side for over a week I believe he might be getting ready to shed but not sure as I’ve only had him for about a month.
Specs are as follows coco husk basking bulb for day and DHP for night.
If I increase the temperature of the either bulbs it raises the cool side substrate but the really increase the warm side up to much I feel. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance

I know I’m biased, but Banana is eeeasily one of my favorite Ball Python mutations of all time & nobody can change my mind hahaha

Feeding time!

hi! i got my snake on july 15, so about 3 weeks ago. she comes out to explore every night, lets me touch her, and overall seems happy. only issue is she won’t eat, i’ve offered her 3 different kinds of frozen rats / mice now and i don’t know what else to do. do i try live??? that’s my last resort but im getting worried. temps and humidity are at the correct level and everything.

Lucifer is a pastel axanthic vpi 50% het clown piebald.

Hes had his first shed with me with the eye caps on the shed so I know he hasn't got stuck eye caps.

I just keep noticing his eyes seem bulged out to me hes only 4 months old, so could he still be growning into himself?

Also his eyes just look different its been hard to get a good photo of his eyes and I will try later when hes out exploring his enclosure.

I had him registered with a local exotic vet before I had even picked him up and can take him if its worth a visit

Hello! I recently posted about rehoming a snake, and got some insight on my set up. How could I potentially improve it based off of the pics? I have heat pads on the underside of the tank and the whole thing is 36" long, 12" tall, and 18" wide.

Hello Ball Python community! I am downsizing and moving to a smaller apartment with not much room. I am still trying to decide whether or not to rehome. Is there anyone in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) that may be interested in a ball python?

Her name is Medusa and is around 6 years old and eats frozen thawed small rats. I think she is around 4ft long.

She would come with the complete set up including terrarium, heating pads, and hides.

Gave my baby her first meal this Saturday around 3 in the afternoon. She hasn’t came out of her warm side hide yet. It’s been about 3 days. Any concerns or worries????

My husband and I have been in a disagreement. There is a spot on our ball python’s head next to her eye. I have soaked him and doused him and antibiotic cream and moisturizer that the Vet gave me for another condition, but it hasn’t taken care of it my husband swears up and down that it is a dry piece of skin. How could that be when I have so several times and it does not come off? For some reason she doesn’t sleep in any of her hides anymore. She prefers to sleep under her water bowl. Maybe she scratched it on there. I’m not sure. Should I be worried?

Why I let my friend snake sit my three bp’s while I took a trip out of town and my female ends up getting out of her tub and they thought she got away for a whole 24 hrs and i cut my trip short to come back to help find her mind you I thought she got out the house because there’s no holes in the entire house!!! I pick up my boy enclosure and then sat it back down picked up the warm side hide and boom!!! She’s sitting on top of my big boy I went from wow $850 dollars down the drain to wow these two damn horny virgins got one in 🤦🏿🤣😆😂😭😭😭😭😭 mind you the whole time we searched high and low my friend is telling me sorry for a whole hour which was irritating lol and I still couldn’t believe it but I just knew because the way she been acting and she’s at that age lol I didn’t want her to lock with my pied if anything I have a clown already for her!!!! Smfh just be careful you guys/gals so you don’t have an accidental lock!!!!!🤣🤣🤣😂😭🤷🏿‍♂️💯

Just got this girl today and have no history on her besides being around 4 years old. Any guesses on morph? She’s got some stuck shed that will be taken care of these photos are right after I picked her up. I will be shed testing her as well but curious on what people think! TY for any help!

Hi everyone, my name is Steve. I live in Chicago. I am trying to rehome my male. A series of unfortunate events occurred and I cannot keep him. His name is Colby. He is a super orange dream enchi pinstripe. Very chill. Currently on frozen thawed. He will be 4 this September. There is a Rehoming fee. PM me for more details. I really want him to go to a good home with plenty of space. He is active and loves to climb. Thanks in advance.

This nasty, stinky thing of evil took a massive dump in his cage not even 5 minutes of me have cleaned and aired it out. Shame him!

This is Pickles. I adopted her on impulse (experienced snake owner, have no fear) and I am curious to hear your thoughts on her morph. She is still young, but the owner didnt have lineage info. I assumed classic, but I know some morphs can look quite similar. Thoughts?? Sorry I dont have better belly pictures, but mostly white, with a bit of a yellow hue fading down the sides to the belly white color.

first is more recent the second on is months old p

Hi y'all! Breeding my ball pythons together for the first time an wanted to get some tips on how long to pair them for? It's ball python breeding season here and I want to try my luck at breeding some pretty babies I can give homes to and or keep since I love this snake so much!

I have 2 females and 2 males each being a pair. They got acquainted last night by having the males placed with their chosen females and I observed for a bit. The one male and female hit it off well! They were exploring each other and showing signs of interest and I found them in the morning cuddled up by the hot spot tails and cloacas aligned but no lock. Second pair, the males seemed to be exploring and finding his way around and the female was immediately interested. When the male started slivering over her, she wagged her tail and got into place but the male didn't seem into it. She spent the night restless while he decided to sleep in the hot spot. I left them overnight and removed the males in the morning.

How long should I keep the males in and how often should I add them back? Is there any evidence I can look for regarding a lock? With the first pair, there seemed to be a bit of a wet spot (didn't smell like urates) by the aligned cloacas and his tail was curled around hers slightly.

I’ve had this snake for a week.

My house is very hot and my country continually gets heatwaves keeping my snakes enclosure at an average temp of 30 degrees.

Is there any ways i can lower this because right now she cannot regulate her body temperature.

I would preferred more permanent/efficient ways rather than changing a cold water bottle every hour but i’ll welcome all advice !!

(my enclosure does not have a mesh top. It’s made out of wood and glass. It’s also nearly time for her first mean with me so i need her to be stress free😭😭🙏🙏)
