it bited my girlfriend and tried to bite me !! :O now he's in the temporary viv so he can adept to his new home. i hope he doesnt bite anymore!!

 

[airenlow]

Sure is a cute little guy! Does he have a regulated heat source?

 

[DarkSmoke]

yeah its heatmat felt warmr then the corns heatmat and i got alarmed, but on a ball pythons forum they told me that a ball pythons heat must be in 90s. thermometre marked it about 87 but it sure feels hot the heatmat. well they told me because the temporary container is made of plastic so it heats alot. but tomorrow hopefully first thing i'll got cut some glass and build him his viv on one of my empty shelfs

[DarkSmoke]

just wanted to update this thread about my ball.
the viv has been build and the snake was fed
i was amazed how quickly it killed the adult mouse in less then a minute, my corn takes like 15mins to kill its prey.

here's a pic eating:

here's a pic of the finished shelf vivarium:

well , almost finished, still didnt put the water bowl and the small handles to slide the glass more easily in that pic, now they are ready, i'll take more photos soon.

Good luck with him/her! Hopefully s/he'll be a healthy, good eater, since I can't imagine the stress of TWO snakes with regurges...

 

[DarkSmoke]

that would make me suicidal for sure lofl
but it seems a good eater so far, it already digested its meal, i handeled it for like an hour today she was so calm and relaxed.

 

[RosieReal]

Did you feed the same day you posted the pics? If thats the caseI would be careful handling a snake so soon after a meal...even if it looks like its already digested.
Lovely BP, hoepe she keeps on doing well for you.

Yeah lol, someone on this forum called them "stoner snakes" because they'll apparently just chill on your arm for hours if you let them. Maybe when I move out I'll get one. Gotta have a TV snake!
