Dude, please do research on what they need for their enclosure. Ball pythons don’t like open spaces at all, and that glass tank does exactly that-makes it feel like a completely open space. I recommend using cardboard or something and sticking it to all sides of the enclosure, except the front, to make it feel more ‘enclosed’ or ‘safe.’ They need at least two hides-one on the cool side and one on the hot side. Make sure there is plenty of foliage or plants to make the space less open. They love clutter! They’re also terrified of anything coming down on them from above, so when they see your hand going to grab them, it freaks them out, and they think you’re a predator. If you’re gonna grab your snake, hold a paper towel over their head and then grab them so they don’t get freaked out when you reach in from above. PLEASE MAKE SURE HUMIDITY IS 60-70% AND HEAT IS 88-93°F. You need a heat gun to properly monitor the temperature and a humidity gauge to see what the humidity is. Your enclosure is also way too small for your snake! Also, you have to use different bedding for your snake! They hate that bedding. PLEASE use something like ‘Repti-chip’ on Amazon. It’s like coconut husk bedding-they much prefer that, and it’s also really good at keeping in humidity! And another thing-never "pet" a snake, especially with feeding tongs. They’re not dogs! This kind of handling can stress them out or even make them associate your hand with food, which is dangerous. If you aren’t willing to make these basic changes, then you should seriously consider rehoming the snake to someone who knows what they’re doing and can give them the proper care they need. Please do more research. There are plenty of RUclips videos that show proper enclosure necessities!
Hey dude thanks for your comment. Very long & detail . I am aware of most but it is time for upgrade. So she is comfortable in new surroundings and has eaten.
Maybe she is pregnant. Snakes have been known to go for more than a month without eating. Maybe she is just sleepy. Either take her to a vet or leave her alone for a while.
Feed her in a darker area dog theyre nocturnal hunters... all that light and clear glass is not helping i have a ball too... check ur humidity levels she might have parasites from shitty rat breeders
I almost cried seeing how dry she is
She was in shed. Don’t cry she’s better now!
