And he spends almost all his time in his water bowl. Iv checked for mites and see none. His day temps are 90 to 95 in the day on hotside get as low as 80 on the cool side. And its about the same at night. Should I kknock the night time temps down? Iv heard some bps just like the water. Could this be the case? Or should I be conserned? He’s eats a small rat ever week and a half. Any help is muchly apprciated. I have about a 6 month old juvinile too and he almost never gets in his water bowl. But I keep him in a rack system with a uth and the big male is in a 30 gallon long aquarrium.
Sorry about all the time. Just worried about my little guy. :)

My Youngest snake eats Hoppers, Which are mice that are adolescents, my one year old eats Rat Pups (Which are about the same size as a full grown mouse) and my four year old eats Medium rats, The size of their food will change as they get older.

I use the http://www.worldofballpythons.com/wizard/
when i am not sure about what ill get when i breed two morphs togeather.

Youll notice what look like grains of sand walking on the walls and rim of the water dish, and your snake, and sometimes you can tell their there if you see Red spots underneath your snakes scales, Generally youll see them better toward the Belly if its a darker colored Ball Python.

Like I said, its Unlikely, but its better Safe than sorry, Mites can make your snake miserable, and quite unhealthy if they get to be too bad.

Easier to keep track of ya know. I Keep my Larger male in a terrarium, Just be sure you have three of the four tank sides covered outside by somthing like card board or Poster Board (I like to use the Environment posters that you can get for the back of fish tanks). Because The open space, and translucent glass of the tank could stress the Baby out (It stresses any Ball python out).

Both of my Younger Females eat twice a week, and my four year old male eats once every two or three weeks(only because he refuses to eat more often than that, Ive tried to get him to eat one a week, and he just refuses). I feed my females every week on Wednesday and Sunday, Its best to feed them on the same day every week.

It really depends on how large your snake is. The Tank does not have to be too large, because Ball pythons actually prefer to have smaller space, i think it makes them feel safe. You may want to try putting a Climbing branch or something like that into her tank, you can get one at most pet stores, but i wouldn’t suggest finding one outside and putting it in the tank unless you sterilize it first.
