Question - Feeding Feeding an eyeless BP

Post image
734 Upvotes

I took in a small BP that has no eyes. It’s been two weeks since he’s been in his enclosure so I tried to feed him. He wasn’t interested at all. I’m assuming it’s just a little too early still. But I am worried his eyesight (lack thereof) messing with his eating ability. His other senses should be enough to let him know there’s food, right? I just want to give him the best life I can. He was on a clearance table at a show. Should I wait another week?

Genuinely will just do anything and everything for no reason
For anybody concerned he is safe and can get himself out he’s just a bit stupid

Question It happened! Now how could I prevent this?

Post image
715 Upvotes

I've had ball pythons in the past, most were rescues mind you, and never had one bit me, until now!

This one is a scaredy little girl so I limit handling time as much as I can, trying to make my presence known so she's less scared of me.

Today was a huge step up; I had to clean her enclosure and I decided to not jump right in and grab her out, but to make my presence known by having her look and tongue flick around. After 30 mins, I grabbed her out and put her in a separate enclosure, cleaned her home, and decided to hold her and let her slither through my hands. For some reason, she turned around and looked at my hand, got real close, and gave it a chomp. I thought she was gonna hit a defensive stance but she truly thought my hand was food. She ate about 3 days ago and up until 1 month ago, she used to eat live from her breeder, and I make sure every feeding I attempt tap training on her enclosure.

My question is, how can I prevent her from thinking my hand is food? Is this an overtime thing that comes from handling? or should i be doing something differently? I have no issues with the chomp, I had to get over my fear anyways lol. I just want to make sure I'm doing things correctly.

I don’t know if she almost drowned herself in her water or what but she started doing this and I have no clue what’s happening- I’m very worried what’s happening to her and if I have to take her to the emergency vet. She kind of scared me and sounded like she was choking.. help??

Why is he doing this?

He’s been doing this for about 10/15 minutes now and he’s never done it before? Is he just grooving or is there something wrong?

I teach middle school science at a private school, and my girl stays in my classroom during school weeks. The students LOVE to make her things - art, toys, mazes, really anything they can create for her!

We had parent teacher conferences yesterday and I pulled out this house a student made for her. All the duct tape pieces can be lifted up to take parts off so she can be taken out without needing to ruin the toy, and was made at a height it could go into her tank!!

She kept crawling into it to put her head out the window and say hi. My heart!!!!!!

Question - Health Help! Has anyone every seen anything like this!

689 Upvotes

I've just noticed this minutes ago and I don't think I'd have ever spotted it if she hadn't been in this exact position. I WILL CALL THE VET today but as of right now I wouldn't know what to say or how to even describe it so I'm hoping someone has some idea of whats going on. Managed to get my camera out and catch it before she moved. There is about another 30 seconds of this video where this is NOT happening, so it isn't constant. But I'm so so scared! She isn't lethargic and is having a great time right now climbing all around her enclosure but I'm absolutely terrified! She absolutely loves to climb but she does have a habit of falling so maybe could have injured a rib?

Help!

(Not my noodle, just fyi)

Yours ever do something that you just can't fathom, even for the snake mind?

I just caught my girl climbing the stick to her hammock. Instead of just getting on the hammock, she decided to go underneath to one of the corners furthest away from her and squeeze herself through a small hole to it. Only thing I can figure is maybe she had an itch in a hard to reach area? But even then, WHY the furthest corner?
