Thank you for rescuing!  My daughter and I run a ball python rescue in Laurel Mississippi.  We have taken in two large snakes this month that r pretty skinny.  The lady hit on hard times and could not afford to feed them .. I’m so glad she called me!  I started them off on mice just to make sure they could take a meal without throwing it back up.  I had to get a good bit of shed off of them, but they are doing great, eating larger meals twice a week right now.. I offer them food about every 4 to 5 days .. I let them eat if they r hungry.  So I commend you for taking those snakes in! 
And it’s super that you want to get them healthy before rehoming them! Thank you!  I subscribed to your channel because of this rescue! Keep up the good work

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.

@DsBallsandExotics

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.

@kcslreptiles3805

Great to see them first ones smash the food hopefully they carry on eating well for you dude.. thanks for update

@Theveteranhomesteader

How are the snakes doing? Still thinking of getting rid of the big girl?

@cesararevalo9032

Is your big normal up for grabs? I live in the Los Angeles area and would love to take her from you

@GoTrails

Nice. Thanks for uploading ...

@c1h2r3i4s56987

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.

@bittenofffleshhreptiles9736

Awesome feedings my dude❤🤘🤘

@cannedcrickets9932

I feel like the big ones aren't comfortable in those small racks..but i'm very glad that they are adopted!

@debbiekaufenberg1511

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

@oksanavictory9079

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

@sheilamcintosh320

They don't eat pinkies generally.  Try a mouse hopper for the little ones

@snakesneedus2

Try an ASF ( african soft fur mice)

@oksanavictory9079

ill take the adult female..i have a male for her

@EquitySolutionRayRaz

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

@tatebabyy5389

What state and country you in?
