Description
This is my lovely yet slightly difficult girl, I have only had her around 8 months however I believe her to be around 2-3 years old.
She is quite a big girl but I thinks she could get slightly larger, I believe she may be slightly blind in one of or both her eyes as she hasn’t got the best aim at dinner time.
She is absolutely wonderful to handle and is very happy to rest around your neck or climb if given the chance.
I have implemented some tap training with her hook (lightly tapping the snake a few times before picking her up to tell her she isn’t being fed) to make sure she is never in food mode while being handled and have never had any issues with it.
Important note:
when it comes to feeding she does not fit the standard ball python pickiness and is quite the opposite. she has an extremely high food drive and will strike at anything that moves or is warm (including the heat bulb). for this reason I will need to make sure you have either good experience with snakes or have done lots of research.
How I go about feeding her:
I feed her every two weeks one small rat and because it can be stressful to feed her my main tips are to turn the heat lamp off a couple hours before feeding and be very quiet. go from the left side of the vivarium and slide the door open gently and throw the rat in on top of the black hide.
then id recommend covering the glass so she doesn't mistake any movement from you as the food source (she has struck at the glass before and it’s best to avoid her doing that).
I have never tried using tongs but that is an option too as long as they are long enough and can hold the rats.
to help navigate between feeding time and handling time I use tap training with a hook. this is where you remove her hide and tap her gently with the hook a few times. this ensures she knows it isn't food time and works perfectly.
I have had multiple snakes and am only getting rid of her as I feel I do not have the same enthusiasm for snakes as I once had, im very busy so I end up not spending as much time with them as I wish.
they are very easy to keep and comes with full setup (vivarium, 2 hides, cork bark, thermostat, heat bulb and an extra heat mat)
The hook will also come with the snake :)
the price I think is fair considering what she comes and I need to be confident whoever looks after her will be able to meet her needs and afford food and anything she may need in the future, however I am open to sensible offers
She really needs a patient home with people who either have done Thor research and know what they are dealing with or experienced keepers. I will ask some questions to anyone enquiring about the snake.
