Re: Wanting a ball python, but having a bad experiences
I love the BPs. My brother has one and she is such a nice girl. I saw one at Petsmart, a pied and it sure was pretty. But the price was $400. So I wasn't tempted lol. I agree, I would love to get one too Sylphie, but the going off food scares me.

Re: Wanting a ball python, but having a bad experiences
Well I guess I'll finally end with a ball soon. There is that breeder in my country who's having a lot of nice 2015 babies in great prices. I'm still waiting for the list of which of them are eating f/t but let my say you that there are bumblee bees and cinnamons for 75$, or pastels for 25$... There is nothing wrong with the babies, the owner just wants them to go to new homes, and she has really good opinions.

Re: Wanting a ball python, but having a bad experiences
Take pics of the new addition. Their faces are so cute, even if they are pet rocks a lot of the time. I'd have a hard time saying no to more myself.

Re: Wanting a ball python, but having a bad experiences
That's my biggest problem too, they are just soo cute! And one calm snake would be a nice variety after all our active colubrids

That's why I bought a BP, I didn't like the constant escape mode of the corn I held. While BPs just chill out or roam around you. I've watch a movie for 1.5hrs with my BP around my neck. He just hung out in one spot. In your hands they just move around and look at things.

Re: Wanting a ball python, but having a bad experiences
Sylphie, try and make sure you find out from the breeder what f/t prey the snake is taking and also find out what type of enclosure they housed the reptile in. Try to duplicate both but just stick with cypress mulch as your substrate. Ball pythons refuse food for different reasons but the main reason is husbandry related. So keep on point with that to minimize refusals. All my hatchlings get 3 live feedings then are switched to f/t crawler rats. They all eat f/t now. The first three feedings are live hopper mice. It also depends on how you present the f/t as well. The heat signature needs to be high and you can't wiggle the prey too much for hatchlings otherwise you can intimidate them and cause a refusal.

Re: Wanting a ball python, but having a bad experiences
Thank you Albert! I'll definitely ask about all of this if I decide to buy from her. At the moment we need to take our blizzard corn to the vet, so I need to wait and see how much money will the treatment take.

Re: Wanting a ball python, but having a bad experiences
Well, here is the thread of my little one: http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/pytho...balls-too.html
Fingers crossed that he will eat without bigger problems! And if not then at least I'm having more experience now.
