    EVERYBODY needs a ball python (or two) especially one that eats At 20" I'd guess 2-3 months maybe? Who'd you get her from? I've met a lot of the vendors that were at that show.

    Yes, Ball's are beautiful snakes. And she ate too, this is a sign of good health. Has she bathed herself in her water bowl? Thats a good sign, my Ball Python ate, then went straight for his water.
    Sorry i wont be on for awhile. Yang died and i'm in a low morale state. PM if you want more info, but be patient for me to anwser you. In case you didnt know, Yang was my young jackson chameleon, i wish he was still here.

    That's great news, congratulations!

    We need pics!!! If you need a hand on how to attach them, just ask.

    Has she bathed herself in her water bowl? Thats a good sign, my Ball Python ate, then went straight for his water.
    Although ball pythons need fairly high humidity, and they may like to soak, constant soaking is not a good sign and can indicate many problems. You should provide a bowl large enough to soak in if it wants to but if you see it soaking quite often you need to check for various things, including correct temps and humidity levels, mites, and signs of shedding.

    Very nice looking Ball Python! However I would disagree with feeding twice a week. There are a lot of BPs out there that have become obese and it isn't any healthier for them than it is for us. Also feeding too often will keep their digestive system constantly going full tilt and that isn't good for them either. Your best bet is one prey item about the size of the snake's body at the largest point once a week. This gives you a bit more handling time as well since you shouldn't bother them for 2 days after eating.
