I took my 12 year old daughter to a reptile convention and somehow ended up with 3 snakes. She has done a lot of research but I know next to nothing. Thank you so much for the crash course, this is exactly what I needed. I feel much more confident now, wish me luck!
@KH-tt3wv
Just wanted to drop in and say how much I appreciate your voice in the reptile community advocating for reasonableness and civility. You home in on what matters (temps, thermostats, humidity, etc.), without getting lost in the weeds (are glass enclosures abuse???? LOL). Thank you for helping to keep this hobby exciting and accessible for keepers, new and old alike!

No exotic animal is a beginner species. No animal is disposable. Always agree with your point of view, and this time is no exception! Also, thanks for the laugh. Going back to snoop through your videos and always learning something from them. 🐍💚
@Maniimonsterr
Me: aggressively taking notes before even visiting a pet store to look at ball pythons Also Me: I’m doing it wrong, I know it 😭😂 Thank you for all of the valuable information! The breakdown in explanation was very understandable for a novice. I’m excited to watch more videos of yours, the way that you explain things is fantastic!
@carlosvelez4188
Rewatching this after I have had my BP for over a week now. So solid. The point you made about the different size hides— and the snakes preferences and effects in regards to thermo-regulation— is golden. I had two different hides in the enclosure and I noticed he was choosing the smaller one on the cool side. I rearranged to get him warmed up. Again expert advice I haven’t seen anywhere else!
@KnorrAquatics
A good friend of mine gave me a ball python, and a corn snake today to make room for a BURMESE PYTHON!! Anyway thank you for the extra knowledge!
@maddyfox33
im not even getting a snake, yet ive spent hours watching vids like this bc i want one so bad
@pastelonpapi
I hate when people call ball pythons beginner species. They're entry level/gateway species. They usually introduce people into the snake keeping hobby. That doesn't mean they're low maintenance. Very good video bro!
@aguyinahoodie890
Landed on this channel back in November or so when I got my first Ball Python. Half a year later I'm circling back around to check up on the basics. Your content holds up so well! If I had to compare you to one other channel it would be Snake Discovery. Everyone goes on and on about how genuine they seem and you've got that same energy. Please keep at it, I've learned so much from you and you're such a positive advocate for these animals!
@murdererrrrrr
I was 13 minutes into this video and had to pause and come comment. This is the MOST thorough and helpful video I have seen after doing WEEKS of solid research every single day. I can’t thank you enough. I liked and subscribed immediately and will continue to watch more videos and follow on all platforms. I really appreciate the way you explain everything. THANK YOU!!
@Lucidesmond
I’ve had my ball python for 4 years now and she has never given me any issues (eats great, sheds great, handles great) but I always like to watch different care videos because there is no way you can ever “know it all” or even if you think you do there is always new updated information coming out, changing and/or evolving! Love this video and am now subscribed!
@trinitysommar4141
I've been wanting a ball Python for quite a few years now and have done a lot of research on how to keep them. You have by far been the most reassuring and helpful of all the videos/articles I've read. It feels good not hearing that "everything has to be a certain way" or "ball pythons need a HUGE and EXPENSIVE enclosure to be happy". I really value your opinion on everything! Its SUCH a refreshing vibe that you give off. Thank you for your videos! :))
@SpaceEndeavour
I have been waiting for 6 years to be able to finally get a ball python, and it looks like next year I should be able to get one. I am so excited I am watching a care guide a year out.
@krykey8066
About to get a new baby tomorrow. I loved the advice to only handle them 15 minutes as a new owner. I am so excited I probably would have over handled him and stressed him out thinking I was getting him use to me and my family of 3.
@Rae_Rae25
My ball python is 20 years old and I love watching your videos like this. When i got started, I read every book i could because YouTube wasn't a thing! Keep up the great work!
@careyk1715
This is a great video. I just rescued a BP that was left in an apartment when residents moved, poor sweet girl. Had one about 30yrs ago and reaquainting with care and best practices. Love everything about your presentation and personality. Lucille's markings are stunning!
@Noaddedfluff22
I love your videos so much honestly, it's pretty rare in the hobby to find people who are so down to earth and sympathetic to new keepers who make mistakes! That's the first time I've heard any snake owner mention how those Facebook groups can actually make an owner feel worse :') I don't have a ball python (yet!) but when I got my current snake he didn't eat for weeks initially, just hid and didn't come out. I was so worried, thought I'd set up everything wrong, I had Facebook 'experts' telling me it was all my fault until it turned out the little dude had just timed a shed the moment I bought him home - he was fine after that! :'D
@chellyblu7198
I have had my baby ball python for a month already, he loves his hides, but has upgraded to bring fine outside now and seeing out his enclosure. I love that he peaks out, shows that he's curious on what's happening outside.
@AweNature1
I just told my husband, "I need to find a video for the new, nervous, & neurotic." I've watched lots of videos, but yours included some of the nuances I was worried about.
