			<description><![CDATA[I noticed one of my snakes has a pink under belly. 
<br />

<br />
Last time this happened I rushed to the vet and ended up being that he was getting ready to shed and I ended up spending a fortune in vet bills.
<br />

<br />
So I was wondering, what are other signs of potential stomatitis? He not showing signs of distress. So how do I know if he's just getting ready to shed or if its something else.]]></description>

			<description>I just bought a new baby Bumble Bee  Ball, since i have gotten her home, after I left her alone for about a week, she has been a little aggresive and nippy. I was talking to someone else I know who has Bumble Bee a bit older, and he said that his is the same way. He thinks that this type of morph is just like that, a bit more nippy then other Balls. Has anyone else come across this, or is this just a freak coincidence?</description>

			<description>Hey... I'm probably just being a worry-wart but I have a couple concerns. Please help.



My eldest ball python, a male I would assume about 2 yrs (not sure because I rescued him), he has been in excellent health since I got him  feeding him on a regular schedule (he was really skinny). But...



I've recently noticed, however, that he makes a noise thats not wheezing or coughing but it's not a hiss either, its more something in the middle. He does it randomly; I've notice more when I've  ...</description>

			<description>Hey everybody! I just got my first Ball Python about a week and half ago, and I try to handle him for about a half an hour everyday. When I go to put him back in the tank he seems like he doesn't want to go back in there, I think he likes sittin on my lap watchin tv. I was just curious about holding him this much, it won't cause any stress for him, will it? Thanks.</description>

			<description>A few months ago, my bf and I purchased two baby ball pythons, a male mojave and a female cinnamon. At first, my male was shy and not very active and was constantly hiding, while the female was active and friendly. I have them housed together at the moment until I can find a spot for more tanks. They are currently in a 10 gallon tank and seem to love it in there. I have noticed that if I take one out, the other will come out and look for the one missing. I hope that this is alright to keep them  ...</description>

			<description>I've been told to feed my ~3 ft girl a small rat every 4 days to get her to breeding weight for next season.  I know that over feeding can be very bad and i don't want to hurt her just to get more eggs.  I have been feeding her every 7 days.  Should i leave her at that, or move her to 4 days to put weight on her?</description>

			<description>Hello everyone, I have been getting emails about ball pythons. I will answer them through email but will also post replies here.



How long do Ball Pythons Live? Typically a Ball python will live for around 20yrs. There are a few examples which have lived for about 30+.



How big do Ball Pythons Get? The average size of a ball python is 4-6 feet. With six feet not so common. Males are smaller than females, with males at about 4 feet and females 5+ feet.



How big of a tank do I need?  ...</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi I've had ball pythons for almost 5 years. None of my balls have ever gone in the water more then maybe a hour and that was while trying tp shedd. My 3 year old ball has made a home in the water pool for almost 3 days now. Her colors are normal so I don't see her trying to shed. If I pull her out and refill the water she will go right back in it. I have put the heat lamp directly above it now to keep the water warm.

Anyone have a idea why?]]></description>

			<description>I tried breeding my ball python, and since we separated them both she has been rubbing her head off of her belly and her head off her tank and her log, but she has never done this before.She has also been lying in an oval shape in the same corner with her head on her belly. She has been acting a little strange aswell. Could you tell me if it is possible that she is pregnant?  

Thank you </description>

			<description>Today I am going to talk to you about what you should do if you get bit by a Ball Python, and what you should do after.



I have owned snakes for about 10 years now and have been bit on a number of occasions. There are a few guidelines you should follow in order to not hurt the snake.



One of the biggest mistakes people do when they get bit is to pull their hand or arm away as quick as possible, bad idea. Not only does this hurt your snake by pulling their teeth out it also will shred  ...</description>
