That ball python is wayyyyyy too small for being 2-3 years old. My female is 4 feet at 3 years. My male is the same age and 3 feet long and 5-6 inches around.
hello i got aloot of my ball python things from u......I just got a ababy ball python i fed him and he hissed twice i have a 10 gallon tank hot and cold side large water dish i dnt kno the sex im using aspen as a bedding what am i doing wrong
I have a 15 gallon tank with a hot side hide and cool side hide, a heat pad under the warm side hide, locks, a water bowl, a fake tree and leaves, and eco earth as substrate with a 75 watt infrared bulb. Is this good for a baby ball python?
@lolatmyfoot Yeah but I heard they need belly heat in the form of a UTH. I already got my Ball Python, he has everything I described, has already completely shed with no retained eye caps, and has eaten three times for me. I think he's fine.
my uncle breeds ball pythons. if you dont have alot of space ball pythons can live in 40 quart tubs. in the wild they live in abandoned gopher holes so they can live in a smaller enclosure. bigger cages are fine however you need lots of plants and cover like he has in this video for them to be comfortable.
imo the perfrct temperaures are such bull. all my snakers have lived perfectly in room temperature. its nto liek in the wild they only live if the temperature is constant everyday
@slyrez where they're from the temperature during the day is well above room temperature. without the right temperatures they get sick and dont digest their food properly.
Hey dude, great video - very informative and mature. By the way, I'm getting into making some reptile products, and if you're interested I could possibly send some test stuff your way to get a good opinion on - stuff like dishes, hides, and rocks. Fire me a message some time if you're interested. I could use the mind of someone who loves their reptiles to make a better product.
@DasPenguin85 I have many snake and could help out with testing products. I would mainly like to try out hides but whatever you could send would be fine.
I'm only 11, my brother lives with my dad and he has a snake, everytime I go over there I care for the snake, she's the exact same breed as yours I help feed it properly and we have a normal habitat for it, I'm trying to convince my mom to let me have one, but she hates reptiles and rodents and all that. Can you give me advice, she doesn't like me trying to ask her about it?
@reptileboy10 yeah you do fucking retard they are cold blooded without heat lamps then they will most likely die dont waste your time commenting or spending the money on a reptile because obviously u cant take care of them your a piece of shit
@IRONGOOSE69r eh dude, you're obviously one of those internet assholes so you don't have act like a big man, These particular snakes don't need UVB or any other heat source other than a heat pad, but whatever, it's personal preference, so don't be an asshole
i got a baby ball python yesterday,he is incredibly active, and its hard to stop admirring him, hes already made a burrow, but he hasnt gone into his hide, suprisingly, unfortunatley, both my grandma, and my cat, dont like the idea of him living here,oh well, im never getting rid of him
@Ravenite1 i wouldn't feed a snake live when i get mine coz 1 in the UK it's iligal and 2 i don't like to buy animals to instantly kill it, i don't mind if other people do it it's just i don't think i would like to feed it live + they don't like killing it, they just constrict it coz they don't think it's dead
@ImEatingACookie90 I feed my snake live rats cause it kind of became a habit ever since I got him however one thing is that everytime I put my hand in his cage he thinks I'm giving him a mouse and he bit my hand. So nowadays when I give him the rat I take him out of the cage and then put the rat in, then him. it has worked and he hasn't bit me for 3 years only that one time.
i have a reverse albino cornsnake. great pet, and its probably a begginer choice,ball pythons are more second reptile kinda pet (about 2 0r3 years after your first) im getting a ball python for christmas. i knew most of this stuff,but for people who arent, reptile finatics.(people who are crazy about reptiles, and know almost everything)its an amazing informational video
@beardieboy13 actually they grow a foot a year for 4 years then over time they can get up to 5-6 feet if well fed. they can also live up to 60 years not 40 like this guy said. ( I do my research before buying a new pet, that's how I know)
@TheTurkeyhunter13 what 3-5 feet, usually 4,5lbs at most, live for 20-30 years, record is 47 years, where did you get 60 years, 0r 6ft, the only one close to 6ft(5ft 10 was well fed and 27 yrs old. where did you get this research
@SuperPensfan8771 from online at dif websites and from the 7 pet stores I went to when i was looking for a snake a year ago. no matter were i went i was told all that info. plus a lot of websites say it too so i think they're right. and its the femals that get 6 feet. males get 4 feet usually. and yes there has been studies on their lifespan (I looked into it) and the average age on a well fed and in perfect conditions python lives 60 years.
@TheTurkeyhunter13 yes females can get up to 6ft, and males get 4ft,but dude, dont trust dif, ive searched dif sites before,one time they said,, the yellow anaconda gets up to 4ft, i talkedto a person who has them, and their over 2m long
@SuperPensfan8771 I meant online at like real herpetologists websites where they do research on animals like snakes and lizards then give us the info. I'm not saying your wrong or I'm wrong but they major in this field so I think I'll trust them on what they say
a juvenile is anything over about a month therefore your saying a snake barley 1 foot long would need a 20 gal long my juvenile carpet (coastal) witch is about twice the size of a juvenile ball python is in a 20 gal long. Maybe you meant a sub adult female or adult male.
hey i got a snake today i put her under a shelter in her cage and she doesnt move whatd do i do is she stressed does she need time to get use to the enviroment please answer me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@theGuywhocamps1000 ball pythons are nocturnal, and 70 percent of the time they spend in their hides not moving around. Sometimes when i stay up late at night i will see my snake moving around, but certainly not everyday
hey im a new snake owner. I just got a ball python yesterday. I took a video and was wondering if you could take a look at it and just give me any advice that you could. Thank you!
@zodajc This could go either way. Frozen mice are probably a safer route but will make your snake lazy. If you want a more active snake then live mice are better. My friends have snakes and every one of them tell me this when I ask them about it.
is handaling a ball python jst like a corn snake or kinda different cause im getting a ball python 4 my b-day nov13 and i need 2 know hot 2 are4 one plz reply awsome vid by the way
hey, i just got a ball python, and i'm not gonna lie i'm still pretty nervous about reaching dwn in his cage and grabbing him and getting him out. He's still pretty young, should i be nervous?how often should i handle him? please help! thanks
@NoApologies1000 I just got my ball python too! You have to leave them alone for about 5 days before you start handling them. You shouldn't be nervous, they rarely bite! Just handle him gently for a few minutes a day until he's used to being handled. I hope that helped! :)
When I turn off the light during the night, the humidity in my ball python's cage goes up to about 70%. Is this okay? If not, do you what I can do to not make it go up so high?
Can your snake fit in the hide with the hole in the top? Also what heat lamp should i buy? One more thing what size is that hide with the hole in the top?
@jacobfare12 talk to a person who works at a reptile store or find a vets number online and ask them what you think you should do and the cost of treatment if even necessary. getting some professional info wont cost you anything and it shouldnt be too serious dont worry about it
hey just saying its a boy i can tell by its patteren and size u can flip him and an inch before the tail ends fell for bumps and if there is bumps it is a boy
Why buy a stick of wood .. ? i found mine outside put it in my pool " it had chlorine in the pool " soaked it / washed w/ water let it dry and my snake is all good w/ it " no mites " it took a day to prepare for my snake ..
curiosity. whith your live plants are you using a fals bottom? or are you using like rock as bottom layer then screen thn eco... im thinking about puting live plants in my new pythons tank but everyone says diff things. i have my own plan for mine but i was curious how you did yours. btw sorry if youv already answered this i dont feel like goin thru and reading all posts :)
@domiy27 You should feed it a mouse or rat that is as big as it's biggest part of it's body mines about 16 inches long pretty young and hes eating frozen thawed fuzzies the head looks to small for it but it goes down easy.But just upgrade to bigger food as it gets bigger.
@azmonkeyboy2 I have a video of my tank up on my account he's moving very soon though to a 29 gallon my setup's simple but you can check it out if you want.
that is a really pretty snake! and thats a really cool tank. if i can persuade my mom into geting me a ball python i gotta know where you got all the stuff for your cage
Im getting my first ball python in 2 days and I have a question about the temperatures. It gets really hot upstairs where my parent's and brothers's bedrooms are so my parents have the AC on. But when the AC is on it gets really really cold in my room to the point where Im shivering. Will a heat lamp keep the snake warm enough in below room temperatures or will I need more heat sources? Please reply ASAP
is a heat light needed if u have other reptiles in the same room because my room is really warm because i have my other reptiles in it so if i bought a ball python should i use a heat lamp or just heat mats and i would have the snake out i the sun a lot to so would a heat lamp be needed
My ball python just got out of her cage! What do I do? She's only about 2 1/2 feet but I have a cat that just had 5 kittens and a few chihuahua's. I'm so scared! Last time she got out she managed to get all the way across my house, from my room to the kitchen! My friend found her on a sack of potatoes...
Me and my fiancee are actually going to be getting a ball python within the month next week we are going to buy a teranium and make sure we know exactly how to regulate the temperature and humidity before we get the actual snake. Ive been doing all the research I can and this was very helpful! Thanks for uploading!
you dont have to have a heat bulb i use 2 heat mat's and my royal/ball python is fine she's always had them since a baby and she is now 2and half 3 yrs old no problems with feeding she is a nice heathy snake
@newportboyo123 The bigger the cage and the more heating you will need. Also heat bulbs are better about giving off more heat than under the cage heaters.
I just bought my python today and Im so happy with it i bought it from a bredder i had a cornsnake and it was to like skittish and it always struck at me whenever i put my hand in the tank
I'm not a snake or reptile specialist. But from what I heard Ball Pythons should not be recommenced to first time snake owners, because they are vicious and don't like to be touched or plated with often. Corn snakes are always recommend as first time snakes, because they get along with other snakes, people and are not sensitive to touch like most snakes. I WANT A CORNSNAKE!!
That ball python is wayyyyyy too small for being 2-3 years old. My female is 4 feet at 3 years. My male is the same age and 3 feet long and 5-6 inches around.

Im getting my first ball python in 2 days and I have a question about the temperatures. It gets really hot upstairs where my parent's and brothers's bedrooms are so my parents have the AC on. But when the AC is on it gets really really cold in my room to the point where Im shivering. Will a heat lamp keep the snake warm enough in below room temperatures or will I need more heat sources? Please reply ASAP

@XxDragonSlayerxX100 You can get an under tank heater and turn it on depending on your needs

is a heat light needed if u have other reptiles in the same room because my room is really warm because i have my other reptiles in it so if i bought a ball python should i use a heat lamp or just heat mats and i would have the snake out i the sun a lot to so would a heat lamp be needed

My ball python just got out of her cage! What do I do? She's only about 2 1/2 feet but I have a cat that just had 5 kittens and a few chihuahua's. I'm so scared! Last time she got out she managed to get all the way across my house, from my room to the kitchen! My friend found her on a sack of potatoes...

Me and my fiancee are actually going to be getting a ball python within the month next week we are going to buy a teranium and make sure we know exactly how to regulate the temperature and humidity before we get the actual snake. Ive been doing all the research I can and this was very helpful! Thanks for uploading!

you dont have to have a heat bulb i use 2 heat mat's and my royal/ball python is fine she's always had them since a baby and she is now 2and half 3 yrs old no problems with feeding she is a nice heathy snake
newportboyo123 8 months ago
@newportboyo123 The bigger the cage and the more heating you will need. Also heat bulbs are better about giving off more heat than under the cage heaters.

bw1819 8 months ago
@bw1819 make sure the thawed is a temperature of a average alive feeder. Also feed it with tongs or your hands making it look alive
XMattman 8 months ago
@bw1819 feed him live mice, his natural instincts will probably kick in and he'll start feeding, then switch him back over to prekilled

I'm not a snake or reptile specialist. But from what I heard Ball Pythons should not be recommenced to first time snake owners, because they are vicious and don't like to be touched or plated with often. Corn snakes are always recommend as first time snakes, because they get along with other snakes, people and are not sensitive to touch like most snakes. I WANT A CORNSNAKE!!
