1st Time Snake Mom, Scale Rot

[Aaron_S]

Congratulations on your first snake.

1. I'd be feeding the snake rat pups. Probably every 7 days instead of 5. I find when my snakes eat too small of meals that they don't poop as often because their bodies are using up all the energy they can from it.

2. No need for a bath.

3. What is the substrate you're using? Once you get to five posts you can post pictures and I'd like to see what these scales look like.

4. Snakes like to hide in secure spots. Ball pythons aren't super active unless it's at night so I'd be looking for movement at that time of day. I would just get more secure hiding spots so she isn't always in the humid hide. What is your current humidity in the enclosure?
