What snakes are the easiest to care for as a first-time owner?
I have a 5-month-old, female Burmese python. I noticed this lesion appear on the top of her head a few days ago. She eats frozen-thawed mice and her enclosure has a temp gradient from 73-90 degrees with humidity at 55%. Is this something very concerning?
Hi I was wondering y my bill python has blisters on her back. She was a rescue
Hello. I am already an owner of a snake but I have recently rescued a ball python. Approximately under a year old and his previous owner kept him in a small container with no heat mat or climate control. I have had him for three weeks and he will not feed. He goes from lethargic to energetic and is drinking but looks malnourished. I have no experienced this with my corn snake as she has always been kept in perfect conditions. He has used the bathroom a few times. One constipated and two “reg”
Snake demonstrating signs of Inclusion Body Disease
My ball python has a reddish wrinkly underbelly after shedding. I've never seen this before and it seems like a reason to worry.
My royal python has just gone into shed and dedicated, this is normal, however she has passed what looks like a solid green blob amongst the faeces, I am worried that this shows signs of an infection, she is one year old, female and eats weekly without problems.
I have a new Ball Python that eats allright, but it stays in it's hide all the time, day and night. I keep the temperature gradient consistant. The hide is the black square with a hole in one end. I feed him in a separate clear habitat. The substrate is aspen bedding wich, consists of perfectly square 3mm pieces that stick to every thing it comes in contact withincluding the snake wich is covered. I have to mist more than seven times a day to keep the humidity above 40%. One quart at a time.
