Re: Contribute to my Website!
Here's some shots of a few different balls. I wasn't too sure if you wanted any "feeding" pictures or not? I have quite a few so let me know if you want more...Might be helpful? :P
First: Male Spider BP
//3-4 Weeks Old//
//5 Months old//
//1 Year//
//Feeding//
Second: Female Pastel (1 Year)
Third: Male Normal Het Pied & Male Spider (comparison)
Fourth: Male Normal (2-3 months old)
I'm not sure what everyone else has already suggested for topics you could cover, but I'm sure talking about feeding, shedding, and substrate would be good ones to cover.
For example...when a BP is in shed, it first goes "into the blue". Some people may not know what that is or what it looks like, and how to treat the snake while it is in that stage of shed. Questions such as: Are you allowed to handle the snake when it is? Should I feed it when it is in shed/in the blue? Stuff like that might arise.
I find that substrate is a huge one. Personally I have been using paper towel the majority of time because its cheap, easy to clean up, and it contains humidity fairly well. But in the negative it can eventually cost you more because you have to change all of it rather than be able to spot clean it. Newspaper I've heard is basically the same but isn't as good for keeping humidity, although I have never tried it. It is important to state what NOT to use as well, to prevent serious injury to the snake.
Anyways, I hope this helps you out a little bit. If you want any more feeding photos, shed, or basic photos let me know. I can supply quite a bit haha and if you want higher quality versions I can give them to you no problem Best of luck! Can't wait to see this site up and running!!

Re: Contribute to my Website!
Should I feed Live or Frozen/Thawed?
When should I switch to larger meals?
My snake is only hanging out on the cold side of the tank, what does it mean?
Tanks vs. Tubberwares
:P

All done 
I've covered all the basics..... feeding (different methods, live/frozen, what, how, how much, how often, etc), setting up an enclosure, etc.
I'm looking for more commonly asked questions that won't be covered in those sections...
The site is looking real nice... I'm hoping to launch it sometime early next week if I stay on track

Re: Contribute to my Website!
Do you have a basic health section? What about "When to see the vet?"

Re: Contribute to my Website!
Does anyone have a photo of their ball python going through a bad shed? I remember someone on here once rescued a ball python that had a terrible shed that flaked everywhere. It's for the "health" section of the website.
