When you're new to snake keeping, there are a lot of things out there you could fall for, or mistakes that might seem like a good idea at the time. I'm going to go over common mistakes that snake keepers make so you can hopefully avoid some of these... Also, I'm going to show off some cool snakes!

Another great video! When people tell me they are horribly afraid of snakes I do like to say, "Well that's really pretty normal, a lot of people are, but I promise not to show you pics unless you say you want to see them. If you come over to my house both snakes are in locked enclosures and they hide all day so you'd never know they were there. I only bring them out if people *want* to see them, but I respect that not everybody does." People with a real fear often just need reassuring that you respect their boundaries and won't pull some horrible trick on them or use their fear to amuse yourself. For example, my own Mom just isn't a big fan of snakes, so I don't show her videos or ask if she wants to hold them. She'll watch my nieces and nephews hold my ball python, and I am really proud of the bravery that takes from her. If she changes her mind about it she'll let me know. Edit: Also PIP!! Is adorable!!

Thanks for this. I had to get off a Reddit board for this reason. It was a toxic environment with no room for discussion. They were so hard set on their "rules" of what is best for Ball Python that they alienate those asking for real help. I got scolded for saying I took a very gentle soaking wet warm wash cloth to my BP for thick stuck shed. It went against their code of conduct. - and the fact I use a heating pad with a thermostat cause it's the only way I found to keep proper humidity in my Sahara desert dry house. All perfect sheds since I switched and they are eating better too. Heading for the discord server - I miss the comradery of other keepers sharing their fun with their pets.

My subadult female BP just broke her fast last night since November. No noticeable loss of size or weight, shedding normally, just showed no interest in any food item (but still kept trying regularly), until she did. She ate this small rat that I simply warmed-up and set in the entrance to her hide and left overnight (after trying all kind of different tricks these past months). So relieved. But writing specifically b/c Bob once said that a fasting BP probably won't allow itself to starve (assuming it is otherwise healthy/well-kept). That "advice" was what got me through this otherwise incredibly stressful (on me) period of frustration. So thanks.

the point of not letting your feelings get hurt is important. I once had to talk to a phyciatrist because my anxiety was bad and she freaked out when she found out that I loved reptiles and would fall asleep watching videos about them. my anxiety is better and I was able to get past it but it was a real surprise for sure.

Every purchase I've had on Morph market has been incredible but make sure you check reviews and make sure they have a little bit of a history at least. Also cold-blooded shop down in Florida does pre-treat their animals before they sell them when speaking about imports or wild caught they do great work.

My ball python got into one of the gaps in my office chair while I was cleaning her enclosure. I had to take the chair apart to get her out. I was so worried that she hurt herself, but she was perfectly fine and actually seemed pretty content afterwards. Needless to say, all the holes in the chair are now filled with washcloths to prevent further incidents 😅

Can confirm my ball python is an idiot and has tried to squeeze through holes he's far too big to fit through. Then it's a careful task of seeing if he can back out of it or if I end up having to disassemble/cut the thing. I don't keep anything in his enclosure like that anymore for that reason.

Heat rocks were considered a really bad idea back in the early 90's when I got my first snake. I have no idea why they are still available for purchase given their reputation. Being an older guy with a long history of keeping snakes and using the really terrible husbandry we used back then, and improving as we learned more, I will say I still have a 'functioning" red heat bulb. That 'function' is pretty air-quotey... I use it to test dimmer switches on new light fixtures before putting Ceramic Heat Emitters (CHE) in them.😁

This is a really great video! Although I will say that I give the ball python I'm fostering a little night drop to the high 60s F to low 70s F . I do this because I feel it is more natural and I have heard from channels like reptiles and research that it can be good for them. However, if it is winter I will change out the heat bulb for the ceramic heat emitter (both on a dimming thermostat) so that at night temperatures don't drop so low. But really I am open to hearing other perspectives and have actually considered joining the green room pythons discord server to ask the occasional question (as in many ways I am still new to Ball Pythons and lack experience). Thanks for the great videos, I try to watch and read stuff from many sources to get multiple perspectives!
@GreenRoomPythons
@GreenRoomPythons 5 месяцев назад
Night drops can definitely be done if you know what you're doing but I don't recommend them because a lot of people get confused.

What I dont like is when people calling my pet snake cruel for eating a frozen thawed mice. 😑😑😑 Ill just say, "Ill feed my snake a tomato/carrot next time then. Thanks for the suggestion." 😏😏 Also, I managed to keep people from opening my freezer and raid my ice-creams supplies. I love my ice-creams amd would stock up a lot of them in my freezer.

My advice giving is a little odd. See I've had two snakes, but technically I had one for a very short period of time. I say I've had two because technically one belongs to my son, our current pet. The first was mine but was taken from me in a breakup a few months after we got him. So I really am not a super experienced potent owner... That said: I've been obsessed with having a snake my entire life. I've loved them since the first one fell asleep in my hands the literal first time I held one. It was a black and white king snake and he was so tiny. I held him at a pet store and he fell asleep with his little tiny tail wrapped around my finger. Since then, I've revealed in any information I learned about snakes. I got really into snake RU-vid when I first started watching Brian Barch... Yeah I don't know how to spell his name... Back even before the controversies he was in. I'm disabled and my condition got worse and because I thought I'd never be well enough to interact with, let alone care for a snake, I stopped watching. It made me sad. Then he started being considered controversial and all the other big RU-vidrs started points up and I found Snake Discovery. I LOVED that channel and started finding more. There are some I enjoyed more than others and so I started watching snake content again. After a few years, my kids fish had all passed away. He was only 8 but he was a better fish owner than I ever had. He expressed an interest in a pretty that he could interact with more. I talked to him about all kinds of rodents, and then brought up lizards. He knew I loved snakes and asked my favorite. Four years went by and he got, with his own money, his first Blue Eyed Lucy Ball Python. We got his enclosure and because of my knowledge and extensive research, we got a healthy, amazing, beautiful snake that could double as jewelry for royalty, with Sapphire Blue eyes. Now I give people advice. I've mostly kept up with snake husbandry since I was 8 ish, and learned despite thinking I would ever put that knowledge to use until I had a kid of the same age. I studied like crazy then, knowing my knowledge would not only affect an actual living beings, but would decelerate my child if I got it wrong and his new friend passed away. Now that we have him, and have for 2 years as of a few days ago, I'm actually most likely his closest friend. I spend literally every day he isn't shedding, eating, and/out popping, socializing him. He even now my in the lips when I make kissey noises, and will press his neck into my lips when he wants me to kiss his favorite kissey spot❤. My point is, I haven't really been a super experienced snake owner, but because I've been into snakes for the greater part of the 40 years I've been on this planet, I feel like I have a bit of an edge on people who have had a snake the same amount of time, but aren't as meticulous about their research. Heck, I even still watch these kinds of videos so I don't forget how to do it right and as reminders of how to change things when our little Sans (named after a skeleton with a blue eye and jacket) hits his adorable little milestones.

I don't know if it ever happens to you but I run into a surprising number of people who, when they find out I keep snakes, feel the need to tell me all about the gruesome way they killed a snake or saw one die one time and honestly that bums me out so much. I usually just walk away when it happens because I know anything I say is probably just going to make them accuse me of being too sensitive but it usually kind of ruins my day.

hey! loved this video however snakes need lighted heat (basking bulbs or halogen bulb etc) as it best replicates the sun. studies show that CHE and DHP dont properly penetrate all 7 layers of skin with means the the snake cant absorb nutrients correctly. over time this can cause vitamin deficiency and you have start seeing deformities in clutches. halogen bulbs produce irc, ira and irb heat where as CHE only produce irc and irb. dhp are reached for as they produce all three but unfortunately they only emit small amounts of irb and ira.
@GreenRoomPythons
@GreenRoomPythons 5 месяцев назад
I've heard this debate before but haven't seen any actual science on it - other than claims from a bulb manufacturer. Snakes have been produced for many years at breeder facilities with no light at all. They've been able to live full healthy lives and have healthy clutches every year. I do think it's important to give a snake a day night cycle, though, and I do think there are benefits to halogen and UV bulbs - and even though it's hotly debated in some forms, it's just not necessary for the basic long-term care of a snake. I may do a video at some point, though, that outlines the potential benefits of those different light sources.
@noctae_alkyone
@noctae_alkyone 4 месяца назад
Agreed! I recently switched my ball python over to a huge enclosure with a heat lamp and uvb heating setup, with a heatmat only for nighttime heat. Not only did she not become "stressed and refusing food and not shedding properly" like how a lot of rack breeders love to tout, but she's become more active, she's got a much better muscle tone, has a stronger feeding response and her colors have gotten more vibrant. She wasn't unhealthy before per se, like she did eat and do all the normal snake things and she wasn't sick at all, but the difference between before and after is like night and day.

So I've had a ball python for about 2 months now... For the most part, everything is going great. I was worried that she wouldn't eat thawed rats since the breeder had raised he exclusively on live rats, but she's only skipped one meal in that time (first time I tried to feed she ignored it, three days later she ate). But here's the weird thing; she seems to be a shy eater, she doesn't strike at the rat in tongs, in fact she'll slowly back away if I put it too close... So I've just been leaving the thawed rat in her enclosure then coming back about a half hour later and by that time she's always eaten it... Is this anything I should be concerned about? I mean, she's eating so it must not be a huge deal, but is this an indication that something might be slightly off? Thanks for all the great advice that has gotten me this far!

It's not the recommended way to do it but I have said in other videos that snakes who have been doing it for years are used to it and it is very unlikely to cause them any extra stress. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody who is bringing a snake home for the first time though. There's really no reason to do it and a snake that isn't used to it could regurgitate because it puts some extra stress on them. I doubt your snake is stressed about it at all at this point though.

I have done it with my baby BP from the first moment I got her home. She is a well socialized snake and never has shown any stress being fed like this. Her breeder also does it with his snakes (he is a breeder out of passion and has only got about 15 snakes) When she has eaten I put her back to her enclosure while she is still in her box and let her crawl back into the enclosure at her own speed.So I don´t need to touch her. No stress at all. I do the same with my corn snakes. Their feeding boxes are so small (and their enclosures so big) that I can just put the feeding boxes into the enclosures and they crawl out when they are in the mood to do so. Most times they spend quite a while in the boxes sniffing around for another mouse. So if you have done that for YEARS you really really don´t need to worry! Everything is perfectly o.k.!

Most of the people who talk to me about hating snakes are friends or acquaintances and usually they are afraid but open to hearing about them. After explaining that outside of Africa and South Asian areas with poor medical care, snakes are rarely harmful and generally not inclined to bite. Some people just don't understand the nature of snakes. They don't see them as sentient creatures that think, feel, and learn. They don't understand they are a single rung below the bottom of the food chain. Ball Pythons are the best ambassadors for that I think because their faces look so non threatening and doofy.

You don't need to do a night drop for ball pythons. Their temperatures are pretty steady in West Africa. It's best to use a non lighted heat source so you can provide heat 24 hours

I've talked about it in a number of videos. Many snakes will just take a frozen thawed, so there's nothing to do other than warm it up and offer. To have the best success, use a hair dryer to blow the scent into the enclosure and wait until your snake comes out of the hide before you offer the frozen thawed

Did I hear right? I thought I heard that you don't feed your snakes in a separate bin in this video? Now I am a little confused because in my research, I have heard others suggest using that so that the snake does not associate your hand with food when reaching into the enclosure. So should I just be feeding the snake in the enclosure? BTW, I love watching these videos because of Kent. He cracks me up.
@GreenRoomPythons
@GreenRoomPythons 16 дней назад
Yes, feeding in a separate bin is outdated information. Oftentimes you'll still hear pet stores suggesting that because the employee doesn't know any better. Ball pythons don't really get "cage aggressive", but for any individual who does, regardless of the species, tap training is the better way to solve that. The problem with moving a snake to feed is that you risk regurgitation, which is a fairly significant medical issue for a snake.

@GreenRoomPythons
@GreenRoomPythons 21 день назад
In nature, these snakes spend most of their time in burrows underground. Their temperature and humidity in those boroughs doesn't change much over a 24-hour period of time. Those boroughs allow them to escape the heat of the day, and at night there's not much of a change... I believe in providing my snakes with a day/night light cycle, but again, in the wild they are spending the day in a dark burrow. They're usually only coming out at dusk and dawn where there might still be a little bit of light, but they're just not using the sun very often in the wild. I think they can definitely tell day from night, though, and I think that's important for their sleep cycle. It's great to try to do a bioactive enclosure if you can keep them healthy that way, but the reality is that we are still keeping them in a box on the other side of the world so it's going to be very difficult to accurately replicate their environment in West Africa.

And especially for a thinner bodied snake like a corn, large mice are much easier to digest than a small rat. Screw the know it alls on the internet, I dont know any corn keepers that recommend rats as a major part of a full grown corn's diet.

Biggest thing to me to NOT do as a new keeper is, DO NOT IGNORE THE LAWS! Yes, many are unfair and stupid and poorly written. But knowing the law and not knowing the law is the difference between heartache and being ok. Remember it doesn't stop at state laws, but also county and city laws. Where I live there are different laws for each jurisdiction, and yes, they contradict each other. Just remember if you don't know the law, there is a chance you have a "friend", neighbor, or relative that does and will feel just fine promoting their civic duty turning you in. FYI - Just because it's for sale near where you live doesn't mean it's legal where you live. This goes double if you are buying at a show. And often the breeder that has traveled for that show isn't up to date on your city and county laws. Sorry about the rant but living in a weird location is odd. Heck where I live promotes catching your snakes from the wild and those aren't subject to local laws as they are superseded by the state. In my state there are 8 or 10 species you can take 4 per species year or 6 in aggregate per year. Two species I would love to have can only be obtained this way. It's just sad and confusing.

Yes! I live in south Florida and there’s nothing I’d like to get more than a SD Retic. But even if I could convince Garrett to send me one (he won’t), I’d be too nervous I’d get caught. Especially if I needed to take it to the Vet. It’s just better to stay within the law.

I wouldn't. That tends to stress out the snake. One time a day, a few times a week for a new snake is best
