    thx i been going through a potencial next pet and i seen spiders and legged reptiles and am now wondering if a snake isnt a good option to get. at first i wanted to get a spider but it seems there not good pets to take out often all people say they prefur to be left along and have no interest in beeing takin out so there not a good option for a pet for me. a last question how often is it good or oke to take a snake out for some interaction time?

    Holding a snake is a weird mix of moving like water and being gentle while also being rigid enough for them to have confidence to move over you. I love my python and I've only had him a couple days, new enclosure had him nervous and he tagged me. I hope people don't treat them like a dog where they might boop them back. Snakes don't operate like that. Please be patient with them they are noodles with heads put yourself in their shoes! They deserve as much respect as other animals

    Are Blackbox cages nice and flat inside? Trying to find something with recessed doors so there is nothing for my retic to push on. I'm looking to upgrade my retic, because i really hate the cheap plastic track for my sliding front window :-( There are so many brands, and it seems there is just 1 or more things I don't like about every enclosure I come across, and am having bad luck :-( Any help from anyone would be helpful. Thanks!

    We've had our SD retic for about 18 months, he is almost 3 years old though, and as someone who also has a carpet python, they definitely follow similar personalities to what you described. That being said, our retic has made a habit of using the bathroom outside of his enclosure, but I can usually tell when he has to go now and either put him in the bath tub or take him outside. He is also VERY food motivated and has on occasion struck the glass thinking our heat signatures are food. Hook and target training him has helped prevent accidental bites, but he is still a hungry idiot that has to be brought out of "food mode" before handling.

    I have a very unusual ball python female 1,5 years old. In the beginning she bit at everything, but confident Grab solved that. What it didn’t solve was that she still was stressed in a way and when I took her out, she bit at light and heat sources. So I started hook training and she immediately changed. So she doesn’t strike anymore, only when to much is going on in front of her enclosure. Now she’s alert and sometimes curious when I take her out. But after she gets comfortable, she always moves away from me. I don’t know really how to solve that. Is this a trait of her personality and I should accept that? When I take her out her muscles are totally relaxed to the point she would fall if I drop her. I think that’s a good sign. What also helped is reducing handling time to every four days.

  • @silly.and-goofy

    I know not all reptiles like people but the ones that do like meeting new reptile friendly people. They look and smell different. My friend brought over a bunch of year old Boas. Just about every kid on my street wanted to pet or hold them. The snakes had just as much fun as the kids did. My young Boa is shy if she don't know you but these older ones just kept going from person to person. I made friends with his 7 yr old Boa. I must have been petting her just right, she didn't even want to go back to her dad when it was time to leave.

    Great video! I have been keeping reptiles'for 50+ years, many different spieces. I have settled on keeping two spieces. One that I currently have my super sweet male anaconda morph hognose and one I plan to get soon, a Hog Island boa. I also keep crested and gargoyle geckos. I do plan on obtaining a pink tongue or fire skink sometime in the near future. What completes my collection of pets are two trantulas (Mexican red knee and Brazilian black) and my tailless whip scorpion. Plus some tropical fish and two cats.

    Hi Summer, I'm in Arizona. I adopted my 1st Ball Python. Rosie is 5 yrs old & 4ft long. I've had her 2 full days & i transported her in her enclosure so she didn't know the difference. She spends most of her time in her black hide box. I'm having a difficult time gaining the confidence to lift up her hide box not knowing her location and then lifting her out. I don't have a hook. She & I were totally at ease when i held her at her previous owner's house. She's big & I'm unfortunately scared 😱....

    What size Ultratherm heat pads did you use? I read they can often be used WITHOUT a thermostat due to their low wattage density. Did you forego the use of a thermostat for the heat pads? Did you find they provided enough ambient heat for those nights it got chilly enough to use them since they are on the outside of the enclosure? Sorry about all the questions, but I want to upgrade my SD to something similar. Thanks so much!
