I took in a rescue snake that had bad burns on her belly. I agree with D's Balls and Exotics on lowering the temperature, I actually prefer 88 degrees on the hot spot with an ambient air temperature between 72 and 76 degrees. I keep my enclosures with sixty to eighty percent humidity. I took in another snake that I was told hadn't eaten for months, he ate for me the day after I took him in under these conditions. I would also not underestimate the importance of having normals in your breeding collection. I would keep two females and one male. Once your collection grows they will become important for proving out poly-morphs and providing genetics diversity. I would also be very diligent about quarantining new animals coming into your collection. I quarantine new animals for a minimum of six months before introducing them to my collection. There are several nidoviruses and inclusion body disease that could devastate or even completely eliminate your entire collection. I have heard of a local breeder that got IBD in his collection and he had to euthanize every animal that he had. As an Arenavirus IBD can be carried by a snake for years before showing any symptoms, this is why I recommend a quarantining new animals for a minimum of six months.
Looking good man, but I'd definitely lower your temps down to 90° they seem to all be avoiding the heat. Good thing they all took pretty fast though!
Great video and content... glad to see most of them eating thanks for saving them... I would love to have one of them to have as a pet but I live in Ohio :( ..... but would love it as family and wouldn't never be neglected again. I have a dog I rescued. The owners beat and starved her she didn't even know how to lick but now she's doing amazing and sleeps in my bed with us. Your an angel for saving them. Thanks again...
Pretty good feeding response. I think going with the live is better for getting a feeding response. Good idea using a little smaller prey item. Did you ever get the shed off? If not you may want to let her soak for 20 minutes in a tub, then rub off the stuck shed with a wash cloth. Nice job.
Great to see them first ones smash the food hopefully they carry on eating well for you dude.. thanks for update
How are the snakes doing? Still thinking of getting rid of the big girl?
Is your big normal up for grabs? I live in the Los Angeles area and would love to take her from you
Nice. Thanks for uploading ...
Great video
pinkies for ball pythons i dont think work as well as hopper mice even for (normal-sized) hatchlings something with fur and moves around alot more.
Awesome feedings my dude❤🤘🤘
I feel like the big ones aren't comfortable in those small racks..but i'm very glad that they are adopted!
Your awesome for rescuing those 5 pythons kudos to you we need more good hearted people in this world. One more comment I heard that pythons do not take pinkies so I was surprised to see that one take it mine did not he wouldn't eat anything smaller then a hopper or small mouse
the pinky I think was too small for the baby that didn't take. mine took one that was an adult mouse and mine is a baby too. thanks for the video
They don't eat pinkies generally. Try a mouse hopper for the little ones
Try an ASF ( african soft fur mice)
ill take the adult female..i have a male for her
I put a mouse hopper in with a rat pup for the smaller ones , just Incase they were mousers , then the rat pup smells like a mouse anyway , seems to help the conversion anyway
What state and country you in?
