    Good Morning! I've had a few of you ask about me setting up a Patreon. I would love to do that, BUT I just don't have time to put out additional content. I would feel bad if you guys signed up for a monthly behind-the-scenes look at something... and then there's nothing there. 😅
    So instead, I've set up a BuyMeACoffee account - essentially a virtual tip jar. If you want to "tip", you certainly can, and it just goes to the animals. Please don't feel obligated to do this though! I just wanted to set it up for those who were interested. 🥰

    Thanks and I hope everyone has a wonderful week. ❤️

    One of the things that helped me prepare the most for my new snake was looking up youtube videos of people getting bit by ball pythons. It sounds weird, but it erased my fear of the snake completely because getting bit was the one thing I was scared of. After seeing that getting bit isn't a big deal and doesn't hurt that bad, I was a lot more comfortable handling him.

    This was very really helpful for those who are getting a new danger noodle soon! I can't stress enough about the feeders!! Before covid I would just go to the reptile shows and then suddenly there were NO reptile shows. It added a LOT of unnecessary stress and worry. Luckily there are a lot of nice feeder options online but they were more pricy than I was used to. I wish I had done the research before hand :P Anyway, as always this is such a good video

    So I have an adult and the cage now works but I can’t decorate how I want anymore and it’s a 36Lx12WX18H and I need a new one but I don’t know what to get I don’t wanna spend 100000000$ on a new tank but I can’t seem to find one that’s a good enough size for the snake and a good enough size for me to decorate

    Do your research! Yes! Sent this to my son because he wants a ball python and I've been making him do SO MUCH research and randomly quiz him lol but this is a lot of great info! Thanks! If he keeps passing pop quizzes, we'll be getting one soon. I did have a question, What do you recommend for substrate?

I've seen a bunch of your other Ball Python videos as well and I really really appreciate the information and advice! I've only got a uromastyx so getting ready for a snake is similar yet different. Love your videos! 💜

    Does anyone know why my leopard geckos just aren’t growing? They’re 2 years old and are just the size of juveniles, they don’t have mites or anything and they eat a lot I just don’t know what’s up. My vet said they’re perfectly healthy and they’re only 8 inches long.

  • @Roy_Camacho

    For Ball Pythons that are subadults and adults I believe the best enclosure for them is the
    Zen Habitats. That's what I have and it's PVC, heat mat compatible, but looks like Bamboo. It's beautiful, retains heat and humidity perfectly. I have a 2ft×4ft×16inch one and it's perfect. For my baby ball Python he's in a Sterilite tub from TARGET. He can stay in that until he's big enough to go into the Zen Habitat. On their website they can tell you more about them and have short videos too. Check it out guys. Good for Blue tongue skinks too.
