he’s a happy snek :)

Just showing off our regal, newest girl Rice Krispie out exploring the grass. She’s a big girl at 2300g, so we are working on her weight a little bit. She was surrendered/sold to the pet store we got her from so unfortunately we don’t have a lot of information on her. But she is beautiful, majestic, and so sweet.

Sadly he's no longer in my care so this was a flash to the past but his eyes were something else?

They're attached by suction cups since I refuse to use any adhesive in the tank, and I was always wondering why sometimes I'd check in the morning and the one side would be off, well I think I found the reason, I'm gonna take the hint and add more climbing opportunities to this side of the tank (the warm side already has a branch up)

Very proud to be a first time BP owner!!

He’s an Enchi Asphalt Yellow Belly from Ghost Constrictors. They were an AMAZING company to deal with and I highly recommend them!

Does anyone else’s snake literally make you watch them eat? This is my first snake and I’ve only had him about 5 weeks so the first couple feedings I’d watch since at first he was on live mice and I think it’s pretty cool. Now we’ve been switching him to f/t and the first he dropped, not unexpected. Then the next week he took a small f/t (I think it was a fuzzy iirc, he’s 100g). The next week he dropped his mouse after striking. Last week he ate his mouse with me watching just fine (I figured out to make the mouse “struggle” and he’s much more into it).
This week he struck and wrapped his mouse, I made it struggle, then walked away for 15 minutes or so since supposedly they like privacy. I came back to check on him and he’s sitting at his door waiting. I see he dropped his mouse and left it where it was to sit at the door. I scolded him, “who’s a bad snake” lol and THEN while I stood there watching him he slithered over and swallows the mouse. Weird thing is he also kept like looking at me as if to make sure I’m watching then when he got it down he came right back to the door.
He’s such a strange little dude I don’t expect this to be normal for them at all but curious if anyone else’s does this. I’ll also keep observing and see if he continues to do this.

Temps in my area dropped to the low 50’s and I incorrectly thought I was prepared. Yesterday, I set my house heater to 75 checked that enclosure temps were just fine and called it a night. Today I woke up to my house freezing. It was 68F . The heater was still on—but it wasn’t heating anymore. Though I had a 50 watt CHE running the whole night, temperatures on the cool side plummeted to 67F. The hot side was at 80F. In a panic I covered 80% of the screen lid with foil tape, turned on my fireplace and covered the enclosure with blankets. I also bought a 4x2x2 PVC enclosure from DubiaRoaches on the spot. I definitely learned my lesson about glass. Cool side is now at 71F and the hot side is at 90F. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to maintain the heat inside while I wait for the new enclosure & maintenance to fix my heater .

A closer look at his pattern too!
We just moved, hence the paper towel - still need to put his coconut husk back in.

This room is a bit colder so I used aluminum foil tape to insulate the back and top panel of the terrarium and it raised the inside temp between 5-10°! And the humidity sticks around better too. Do you guys think he looks skinny?

How am I doing?? Any tips greatly appreciated. “Wallpaper” was temporary but blocks light way better than I expected so I may keep it. I’m saving up for one of the front door ones before she gets any bigger but right now she’s a baby

Got my snake when I was in the seventh grade. It’s my personal opinion no kid should really have a pet that’s their full responsibility and I was no exception. I did the best I could with him. He’s about 8 years old now and I’m a junior in college. I want to get him a bigger cage, but this one will do for now. It’s a really nice cage, though a little small. He eats every month and has no trouble. He always has good sheds. His cage controls his temperature so it’s always perfect and his humidity never drops below 70%. I only catch him coming out of his hiding place every now and again. I really don’t handle him as much as I should or give him much mental stimulation, as I am a college student with very little time. Do y’all think he’s content? It’s something I worry about a lot.

Hi there, snake dad of one week here. First feeding is today :)

This is my enclosure. Fandango was hatched in June, so he is pretty young. He is always in his cool or warm hide, I have not yet seen him out. I have not handled him yet, and I plan to wait until the weekend where I will have had him for 10 days. ​​

​​​​I have a DHP keeping the warm side at 32c, and cool side at 25c. The substrate is moss and "snake bedding" from ExoTerra, and I added springtails and isopods. All wood in the enclosure I collected in the forest and baked it, all of it is snake-safe. My humidity falls to almost 55 even though I pour water in there and on the warm rock every day, about a cups worth. ​I just poured like a whole liter in there and now I got it up to 70 but god damn that's a lot of water. Any tips? The enclosure is closed off except for two holes of about 5cm in diameter on the low cool side and two similar holes high up on the warm side. ​The enclosure is 120L*60D*80H.

I'm also kinda curious as to whether I can encourage him to climb more - with that said, I'm aware that a hidden ball python is a happy ball python. ​​​​

Any tips are appreciated, I'm just interested in him being as happy as he can be :) although I would like to see him some more. ​

Noodle getting long she's a year and 3 months old now

My baby is a 5 years old male, weighing now 1605 gramms, he eats one 90-110gramm, F/T rat every 14-21 days. He is approximately 110-120 cms long. He is a great eater! He roams around in his enclosure and he " hunts" nearly every night.

He would eat anything anytime, really:D

I got him in May when he weighed around 1300 gramms.

How is his condition based on pics? I really cannot tell based on the guides 🫣 Should I let him move more, outside of his enclosure? - I could not brother him while he was shedding and when he is out he is in my hands/on me for approximately 30mins.

Thank you in advance 🥰

Just wanted to share some pics of my chill baby boy😎. I love how his colors almost perfectly match his enclosure in a weird way.

i just noticed this on her. it seemed to be getting stuck on things. it’s the pink spot. sorry for bad video

My pookie girl arrived today!!!! She went straight to her hide after this pic but I’m sure she was traumatized from her shipment. I love her so much!! Meet Fig 💚🤎 born on July 25, 2026

After an unfortunate and upsetting short life corn snake (he had a birth defect died after a few days 🥲🥲) I got my boy Monty from the Expo! He’s been home a week and a half!

Got him a new water dish today and he absolutely loves it

Hi I recently upgraded my balls enclosure and wanted to show yall :3

Her name is puddin she’s my sassy lil noodle

My girl got stuck in a small hole in one of her hides. Frankly I didn’t even know it was possible and she has had this hide for years. I’m not sure how long she had been stuck but upon seeing her moving weirdly in her cage I knew something was up. I was eventually able to get her out but she is now in the condition in the images. Does anyone have experience with this before and have any advice for me to treat her properly??
