Mt pet snake "Bubbles" Thanksgiving Dinner

[Suentous PO]

Heya back off! If he shed 3 times in one month your doing something right. Don't worry too much if he goes off a Reg scedual feeding. I've got a couple decades familiarity with exotics, & ball pythons are notorious for going on "hunger strikes", with little harm ( usually feeding again on their own terms if well provided for). Looks like you're a caring owner, good job!
Random non-sequiters: 20-30somthing foot burmeese pythons (African) are now native invader inhabitants of Florida, & I was once mauled by a 9 foot monitor lizard. Can't make this stuff up

Hey thanks. I have had all sorts of pets before & this is my 2nd second snake I've owned. As far as pets go Ball Pythons are very low maintenance to take care of & very fun to handle. When he does go on a wierd shed cycle like that it usually only offsets his eating cycle by a week or so. I like to know as much as possible about the animal I am caring for so I research as often as I can. Just this month I came up with a handy method to help with shedding. Living in Alaska it can get quite dry & very cold! So Keeping a close eye on Temperature & humidity is a must. From what I have read, ball pythons like the humidity raised while they are in shedding. To help with this I place a damp washcloth on top of his tank & keep damp. Also learned that from reading.
What I did different this time was place a damp washcloth on top of his house as well. I could not believe how healthy the shed was. He never shed all in one piece of skin until I started doing this. I was so proud of him lol.

I have been keeping a close eye on the burmese pythons in Florida. Watched a BBC documentary about it not too long ago. From what I understand they are thriving like no other there having a huge impact on the environment. Burmese pythons can grow to the size of a telephone pole. There is close study on what they are eating & what they have been eating since the outbreak. Just about every animal in the habitat are on the menu including a few endangered birds & alligators. Yes alligators! It is a very long fight & either side is liable to win, the gator or the snake. I have even seen instances where a burmese python starting fights with alligators & chasing them off just fighting for the hunting grounds. This topic really intrigued me! There is a lot going on when it comes to wildlife in Florida atm. Be safe my friend.
