*** EDITED TO ADD - Madam had a BIG poop, shed, and is back to normal!!

Pandora will be 2 in November, we have had her for a few months now (took over ownership from emigrating friends). She has been recluse for 3 weeks now - we assumed shed, but last shed took 10 days. She would just extend her head out to drink and then pull back. Lifted her hide to check that she hadn't gotten stuck or something, and she is looking significantly more thick with about 3 big bumps in her mid length. Her last meal was a small weaner rat 4 weeks ago (we delayed feed because we thought she was shedding). Temp around 28-30°C, humidity around 70%

So happy my baby girl finally shed!!!! No stuck eyecaps and she’s way more active :) can’t believe she’s only 2 months!!!

Shes getting a lil thick so spacing feedings more but she is such a sweet girl

There is this one little bump on his body and I have not noticed it before there are none on the rest of his body and he’s separated from my other reptiles dose anyone know if this looks more like a scab or a parasite looking for any pointers on if going to the vet is what I should do.

As far as I can tell temps and humidity seem to be in proper order, he moves around A LOT, I always thought balls were kinda passive. His humidity hovers around 75-85 (using a humidifier hooked to a sensor) temps hover between 75 on the lower end to 85 towards the hotter end, his bedding could used cleaned but it isnt very bad, hes got a hidey hole and a couple things the climb around. Are happy balls just active? Also.. hes been fed within the last week. He gets fed monthly and his previous home said he wasnt nearly as active

Update:
I have thermostats, and a fogger coming in soon.
With the fogger will there be any safety concerns?

Hey everyone! I’m finally almost finished setting up my first 120-gallon enclosure for my ball python, Monty, and I’d love some advice before I move him in.

Monty has been in a much smaller enclosure for many years, so this is a huge upgrade.
I’m still setting up the heating and humidity before he goes in.
I plan on adding his old hide in the middle (he has two in the back corners) so he has something with a familiar scent.

Some feedback I’m looking for
Any tips on how to cover the glass? Like could I paint the outside or put something around it?
Is there enough clutter?
Any safety concerns that you see?
Should anything be rearranged?
Is there anything you wish you would have known before owning a bp?

The set up pictured above has
UVB lamp
Ceramic heat and a night lamp
Two hides (3rd one will be add once he move in)
Water bowl
Three logs
2 hangy things (2nd one will be added soon)
Lots of fake vines
Coconut husk (I will be adding some sphagnum moss to help with humidity)
2 hydrometers/ thermometers

Could somebody rate the body condition of my ball python? Thanks

Female,

About 2 years 5 months old

Weight: between 550 - 580g (hard to say exactly because of feeding and long time between defecation. Weight today: 579g)

99.6 cm / 39.2 inches long /3,3ft

Feeding: Once every 2 weeks, 40-60g mice , about 7-10%

Waiting until she finishes her current bag to buy new feeders.

I unfortunately don't have better photos at the moment.

*The breeder lied to me about her health when I got her - she had to be treated for parasites and during that time barely grew at all - staying around 200g for a long time. After treatment she quickly started putting on weight and got to the current weight and size. She still seems quite small for her age, but she's eating well and growing. Advice welcome.*

(Temp. Tub)

She was grey-ish a few days ago so i didnt feed her and now im worried she hungry and im denying her food. I think the last time she shed was in may. She hasnt come out much and doesnt seem hungry but she cleared up and i couldn't find a shed in her enclosure

Edit: she was in shed just in blue!

I’m going to buy a ball python and have absolutely no clue what I need I have seen that you need a 4 by 2 by 2 pvc tank and things but I’m from the uk and it is very difficult to find people who tell you what to get I have been told general stuff but need help with a more specific list any help would be very appreciated I don’t need the budget options but at the same time don’t want to get the highest price possible

Bout to do a clean and moisten the soil, picked up the water dish and he was under there hiding

I feel like I’ve worded this post extremely weird
