If I ever have the money again. Those creatures can be pretty expensive to take care of. Especially knowing me. I like to spoil my pets... Ball pythons also need huge tanks. Not at first but I've seen my friends' grow and she already needs a bigger tank. . . she also keeps a toad she got in there too. Are ball pythons willing to eat those things? they just leave each other alone.
I found out by a snake specialist. To keep them very healthy you need a lamp that gives out the important rays the sun does. I dunno if it was ultraviolet rays though... I forget. But they need it for at least 8 hours a day. My friend got a ball python and had to take him to the snake guy because he had large bumps on his back. the other owners said it was because he was dropped but apparently it was calcium deficiancy. He's gotten much bigger now so it's not as noticable. The other owners couldn't feed it.
aww :3
I used to have a baby corn snake.
He died after two years.
Just this year I learned that they need an ultraviolet ray lamp so they can get the vitamins they need from it...
I only had a heater for the tank crying
D:
Not cool. I'll try to ensure they aren't before hand
Get the info. about where they were before the store.
Or o you have another suggestion on where to get one? >>
Awe. :3
So you do feed them frozen?
-nods-
I heard that was best, since live ones can fight back and hurt the snake.
I might get one sometime this year.. The pet store near where I live is selling them for 100$/ea.
And they're all babies. :3
o.o
Dang, hun.
So then albino is costly.. Alright. Good to know. :3
I'm thinking about getting a normal one, though I really do want an albino.
As for age, I'd get one as a youngin'.. I'd wanna watch it grow up.
And she is gorgeous..
And then the tank you keep them in.. that'd cost another grand-ish?
