Great interview! Honored to have two of our snakes in Lori's program, love watching her updates on them.

I wish this video was required for everybody looking to buy their first pet royal python. It needs to be shared far and wide! I was also wondering if Lori could post this on her RU-vid channel so it would reach her audience as well.

This is a wonderful and insightful video and offers science based, concrete information on what we can do to upgrade captive management of captive ball pythons to make their lives better. Kudos to Liam, Lori and Ellie. ❤

I wish that what you guys discussed in this podcast episode was the sole focus of the pet trade, and less on collecting as many reptiles as possible.

I gave my royal a 10sq foot enclosure and he uses all of it. Also he comes out around an hour or two a day to explore (supervised). And he definitely learns and has a bold attitude. Always eats never strikes, great video as usual

I live in Europe and I don't keep reptiles. Seeing these animals in racks and loveless terrariums is terrible. And then to hear these fates is heartbreaking! That snakes don't come out of the boxes for months because they don't know anything else and don't know that they could go out.... sad 😢. When I was little I only saw large snakes in large terrarium rooms in Europe. If someone didn't have the space, then he just didn't keep one. So easy. But now you can see racks and sparse enclosures even with our breeders and "collectors". Unfortunately, that spills over to us. I also don't understand why you keep 6 or 7, or even more snakes in such enclosures instead of just one snake, and allocate enough space for it. This collection frenzy among reptile keepers strikes me as negative! I feel terribly sorry for the royal python. Because the owners make the excuse that they don't move much anyway. Then they stuff these animals into racks where they do nothing more than just exist.... I'm actually against prohibitions of any kind, but reptile keepers have lost such a sense of the needs of these creatures that I'm not sure about prohibitions are not the only solution!?

I'm considering buying my first ball python, and I'm glad I found this. So many breeders and even an exotics specialist veterinarian told me that a dark tub is what's best for them but after doing some research I found this video which seems to be one of the most educated opinions on the matter that I can find. I'm now looking into a 120 gallon enclosure before I bring a snake home.

@jordanh6760 Год назад

I was new to reptiles and I had just about given up on believing that they could be ethically kept as pets based on the keeping styles of most “experts” when I found Lori’s videos. It changed my whole perspective on how snakes could be kept and I love following her advice my snakes are capable of amazing things!

@kountesskorvinae666 Год назад

I'm really stoked Lori gave Bob a shoutout!

@shalinaedge9928 Год назад

I would love to see video examples of the food seeking behaviours and how Lori distinguishes them from other behaviours.

Bravo you guys 👏🏼 this was such an informative interview that should help change some minds. Both of my royals live in 120 gallon vivariums with lots of climbing opportunities and enrichment and they are doing great at transitioning from the small tubs they were kept in at their previous homes. I am finding exactly what Lori mentioned happening with both of them. They were both at least a year and a half when we brought them home and they are learning to climb, explore more confidently, and aren’t as food driven as before. We give them choices as when to eat and have completely abandoned the “schedule” of feed them on Sunday with the lights down low, after sundown. They tell us when they are hungry and they have gotten more muscular and lean. So happy with their progress. Lori’s channel has been such a factor, as well as yours and Bob Bledsoe, the person Lori mentioned. Great information done in a very playful manner.

I lost my beautiful bumblebee boy this week, he was 11 years old I got him at 18 months old, he became poorly in October 23 and I tried everything to get him well I spent a small fortune at the vets but unfortunately I had to take him to be euthanised on 17/05/24 I am devastated.

I took Lori's advice to ask the breeder about personality and it absolutely paid off I couldn't be happier with him

@livingoutsidethebubble Год назад

My sand boas climb quite well, however I have given them very gentle and supportive climbing opportunities. I can imagine that they might fall otherwise.

@luwildy Год назад

I love that you had Lori on I've been watching her for a while now and she inspired how I care for my royal. I've been target training and he's progressing quickly, she gave me an excellent tip to get my snake eating frozen thawed and it worked the first time. My snake is happy and active I'm so glad I watched her before getting my ball python(Salazar.)

@AhatiMaat Год назад

A lot of snake knowledge between the both of you, keep up the great work.

My royal comes out a lot. He'll come out for a few hours in the middle of the day and a few hours in the middle of the night I see him all the time. Just the other day he was out from 2pm to 6pm and that's pretty normal for him. He'll go back to sleep for a while and hide and then again in the middle of the night like 10pm-2am. I think part of the reason he's out during the day is because he's been in a large vivarium since he was super little. He's very resilient and curious

@bittersilverantelope8638 Год назад

This changed my whole approach I was about to go full rack systems but now I wanna keep my collection small 💪🏻. Great work everyone needs to watch this
