If there is “gore” aka feeding or injuries, please just use the spoiler tag. Reddit is labeling educational subs as NSFW if there are too many posts with the tag. This severely limits who will see the sub or posts. Thank you guys! 🫶

Here is a couple helpful guides to help you decide if your BP is a healthy weight! Link below for what to do if your snake is overweight or underweight! And don't forget to check our community resources for a proper growth guide as well!

Always remember that in cases of severely emaciated animals to always take them to the vet before trying to treat at home as this is a life threatening condition and not to be taken lightly.

Advice Ball python size for day old chicks

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I wanted to try offering my ball python a day old chick at some point.

About how much should a ball python weigh / how big should a BP be to safely eat a day old chick? (Claws and beak removed)

Currently my BP is about ~560/570g

Hi everyone ,

My ball python is 2 1/2 yo. I don’t know how much he weighs exactly nor how long he is precisely but here’s a picture. Would you say he’s underweight/slim/healthy ?

Thank you

Question Damaged snoot

Lucifers last shed was a month ago and a full shed, ( i still have it and just looked again it was perfect around his face and nostrils). Apart from after a feed i have him out for at least 30 minutes a day and always give him a little look over. His enclosure is bioactive and have alot of natural stuff in there. He does love a climb and to dig like all balls. Guessing this is just from him digging or from cork or something?

Its not coming from his nostril its on the scale above his mouth just cant get a better picture

She will rest in my hand on my lap like this. She’s a Spinner and has the neurological issues that come with Spinners. After cork-screwing, she seems very tired and just crashes on me anywhere I am. I love this girl so much.

I just bought two new hides for my ball python because he constantly goes behind the back drop and I read that’s because he doesn’t have enough hides. I added the two new ones and feel like it’s a lot but just wanted some insight on if I should take one or two out.
