It's great when you get one like that! Thanks for watching 🙂

Normally I would agree but she was gripping my arm REALLY tight - much tighter than she needs to just to hang on. Sometimes she will relax, but not very often, it's just how she is. Obviously I wouldn't be able to say if she's comfortable or not without knowing her and other Ball Pythons for a long time. Thank you for commenting - you have a great channel! 👍

Yes I would say that is correct. Scary thought!

Hi - I'm so sorry I wasn't able to reply sooner! I've been on vacation and just catching up now. Have you checked behind the heaviest pieces of furniture? Are there any vents she could have gotten into?

@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ thank you for your reply I luckily found her early hours off the morning. I made my flat really hot. And dark but I believe she was making her way to the fish tank

Great news! I wonder if she was getting thirsty? Whatever the case, I'm glad you've got her back 🙂

I hope you are right, it's a nice thought! 🙂

Thank you! Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was on vacation! I do appreciate you taking the time to watch 🙂

Sorry for the late reply - I've been away for a while! I love Chris Hardwick's channel, it is one of my favourites too. When it comes to the Spider gene there is fresh information coming out about it regularly now, particularly when it comes to the actual brain deformities that in engenders. So, I definitely would like to do a video on it! I just need to find the time to do it in an in-depth, balanced way to shed light on both the facts and myths surrounding it. I will check my email now and see what's wrong with it 🙂

Is there any way for her to get out of the house, or do you think she is still inside? Also, have you gone room to room and looked behind all heavy furniture? Maybe try putting down some flour near doorways and other areas to see if she makes tracks at night

I tried it all and waited 4 days with the flour even left out live mice I live on the second floor and is unlucky she went outside but still no signs of her I’ve lost hope it’s been 9 days now and stayed up multiple nights trying to hear her but nothing and she sully is very active and makes slot of noise but I’m lost at what to do next even bight a skinny snake camera and searched she areas that are unlikely would go

*unlikely *

Hi - I'm really sorry I couldn't reply sooner, I was on vacation! Is it at all possible she got into a vent?

Thank you! It sounds like the store is a good spot with the animals' welfare at heart. Personally, I always try to stick roughly to the 15 minute rule, but mainly because of temperature. Some snakes - like the one you are adopting - probably would enjoy hanging out longer, but I never feel comfortable keeping them away from a heat source for that long. I hope that makes sense! It sounds like you are doing your research and I get the feeling you will do great with his care. Thanks for subscribing and please don't hesitate to get in touch 🙂

That's a good point - most animals will fall somewhere in the middle. In fact, if I encounter either an extremely shy or extremely defensive Ball Python my first move is usually a thourough health check! Thank you for watching!

You're welcome - let me know how it goes!

Yes! Spotnose and something else 🙂

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! Yes there's definitely a few of my snakes that simply aren't interested. I still try to get them out but not as often as the others. That sounds like the perfect time to observe them!

Thank you, I appreciate you watching! 😁

What's it's name? This one's dad is called Spot - I couldn't think of anything better 😅

@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ Bertie, like the late queen's father. So he's a royal python lol. I was stumped for names too.

Thank you! Glad to hear it - I think a lot of us have been through that frustrating cycle 😅

You're welcome, and thank you for watching! 🙂

Sounds like you are keeping a good eye on them so fingers crossed 🤞. Has she gone back to them?

@@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ thank you, no she has not gone back. I candled the eggs and they are good. I have the temp at 88 and humidity is 90 or a little higher. I check them constantly because there are 5 other snakes in the enclosure. Idk if the mother would get mad if she came back and the other snakes were incubating her eggs

If she doesn't go back to them at all you will need to keep a real close eye on humidity. Maybe put some moss around them to make sure. 90 humidity sounds ok but watch for a lot of dimpling and put the moss around if they look like they are drying up. I hope it goes well for you! 🤞

@@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ Thank you. I have bedding around them now with the temp & humidity gauges in the hide with the eggs. I spray a mist of water on the bedding every couple hours so the humidity stays at 90 or above and the temp is 88. I also have a humidifier plumbed into the enclose i turn that on an hour or 2 a day. Thanks for the advice. I'll take all i can get. I really want a successful birth.

You're welcome. Sounds like you are doing everything you can, I really hope it goes well!

Thank you - I really appreciate you taking the time to watch! 😁

@@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ I will watch as many as you put out for a LOL I appreciate you taking the time 😁 I also love hearing you talk your accent is awesome

Thanks 🙏

My thoughts exactly

Thank you! I really appreciate it 😁

That's a fair point - it is harder to find the poo in darker substrates. It's usually the urates you spot first, or you smell it 😅 You're welcome 🙂

Thanks! I want to get into tarantulas and mantids next

Thanks for watching! Here it is: ruclips.net/video/gR3nlpwRTRA/видео.htmlsi=tyq2VrDXjt-ESwLh

@@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ Thank you so much! Adorable snakes btw, I forgot to say earlier <3

You're welcome!

Thanks 🙏

It's always a bummer when one gets you! But on a positive note, at least you got the satisfaction of your snake starting to feed again. Sometimes with BPs that go off food you almost start to feel like taking a bite would be worth it. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! If I had room for more snakes that a boa would be one of my first choices! I guess their bite is definitely a bit more powerful than one from a Ball Python, but like you say - they release so quickly when they realise they've made a mistake. I had a red tail years ago that did similar behaviours when she was around my neck. Thanks for sharing - it made me think about how bad I need to get another one at some point!

Seems like your comment is public? Nothing removed?

That makes sense. Being too cold would make them worried about being able to defend themselves and get preemptively defensive. Now that you mention it, I had a corn snake once that got a serious temper going into brumation. Thanks for commenting!

Hey thank you for watching and commenting! I totally agree, pythons are great pets, but when it comes to affection we can get it from dogs/cats/birds instead

Whoa!

Good size!

@@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ Thanks so much for the wonderful reply! It's been a really big help watching your videos and I feel a lot more confident now that I've got a better idea what to do to improve my young ball python's living enclosure. Had him for a little over 2 weeks at this point and he now seems comfortable but more can always be done! Thank you again for the help x

You are very welcome - I'm glad you found those videos useful! Thanks again for watching and subscribing 🙂

Nice - sounds like a good deal to me! I'm guessing it was already set up and ready to go?

Hi there and thanks for watching! The snake in the thumbnail is a Pastel Spotnose Clown. You can probably find one on Morphmarket - there are usually a fair few available

That's a shame! I knew it was state-by-state over there in terms of laws, but I didn't know any state was that strict. On the one hand, I guess these laws could be enforced because of the possibility of dead animals spreading disease if they get dug up by other animals. On the other hand, the financial burden must make it harder for people to get animals put down humanely. I've had it easy in comparison, but I'm sure similar laws will appear over here too eventually. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I’m also in the US, but I live out in the country. As far as I know, we are allowed to bury our animals that have passed away. I’ve had one dog cremated, but we have built wooden boxes to bury other animals that have passed away in. I’ve never had to take one of my animals to the vet to be euthanized though.

It is NOT hundreds of dollars, that is a lie. If you have an animal, you should have the money to provide him or her with proper treatment. If you are short on funds, you can almost always go to the municipal shelter to have it euthanized humanely. Granted, not every municipality is equipped to treat reptiles and in some Red states, they are horribly backwards and primitive in euthanizing even cats or dogs. Why it's important to know where all the good reptile vets in your area are. As far as burying it, there is reasons counties do not want to have people burying numerous animals like cats or dogs in your yard, but no one is coming to arrest you if you bury a baby ball python or a hamster, so that's somewhat misleading.

@@OG_Beckie_Leigh i live in michigan my county doesnt allow it

Thank you! Yes Bobby is pretty chilled-out, I always introduce him to people who are new to snakes because of his laid-back attitude

That does sound pretty normal - I am always available to help though, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you're worried!

@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ Thanks I might if my next move doesn't work . I've had one of them about three months now . Only thing I have not tried is a chick or leaving the prey in overnight . She once looked very interested in a mouse . I don't like leaving things in overnight due to bad memories from years ago .I can't stand that corpse smell 🤮

Awesome!! Thanks for watching 😊

That sounds awesome! I definitely feel like we've only seen the tip of the iceberg with Bongo 🧐

Hi there and thank you for subscribing! That is definitely a long time to go without shedding, but I have heard of it before. To help you out, I first need to ask some questions: 1. Have you been weighing the snake? 2. How much has the snake been eating? And how much does the food weigh? 3. Is the snake doing any part of the shed cycle? Or literally not at all? 4. Has the snake done anything weird like regurgitate?

I honestly don't know. I can't get him to sit still long enough to measure 😂

@@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ what I do is measure the most recent shed and add a little to it

Sorry for the late reply! Yes that's probably about the easiest way. The only truly accurate way is to measure along the spine, from tailtip to snout. It means you need to restrain the snake a lot and it's something I don't like doing. Getting an accurate size is always a pain!

Good guess! It is super pastel but also two other genes

That is some really interesting information. I know insomnia sucks - but at least you're getting a rare insight into what these animals are doing when most of us are asleep. Thanks for commenting!

Don't panic yet, it takes a long time for one to die! Keep looking, and maybe put down some trails of flour or talc to see if any tracks show up in them tomorrow night (don't use talc if you have pet birds in the house). She will come out when the house is quiet, and she won't be far. If you really think she is in a vent, it might be worth contacting a heating and air conditioning company for advice (it happens more often than you might think). Definitely don't give up though - she's probably found a really good hiding place but will definitely come out sooner or later. Keep me posted!
