Quick tip: a thermostat with your heat mat is not optional is it ESSENTIAL. Ball pythons can get heat burns if temps are not controlled
What size tank did she use
30-40 is what is recommended for a adult, though smaller bins and what not for babies if peachy if you plan on changing it as they grow to their full size.
not when you have an inch of soil above it
Sobky El it’s still recommended, they can break etc.
Madison Baker late question but if I have a heat mat for a ball python do I need any other light source?
If you haven’t already, could you do a tank cleaning video? I’d really like to know how often you do a full tank cleaning and what you use to do it.
So many likes and no responses
Alt Runter lol
I know this is old, but what I do is spot clean any poop I see on the substrate and clean the water dish/ replace the water every single day. I completely replace my substrate one time a month, but some say you dont need to replace the substrate until 2 months. To clean my tank, I use a bleach/water dilution at a 1 to 30 mix (1 ounce bleach, 30 ounces water) and I spray the tank and her cave down and let it sit a few minutes, then I scrub and wash it all out with water. I am by no means an expert on this, but I've had my ball pythons for nearly 2 years now and havent had any problems
You should clean your enclosure once a month, but if you add isopod then they are no as frequent since isopods eat poop and shed skin, so if you add those then maybe every 6 months
What about overhead-basking heat? Is a lamp needed?
_prety snek_
Pxzzy Pj i has prety snek to
A person that exists i will upload video of prety snek and u will get see prety snek
I wanna have a prety snek
I have a snake who is much prety
i wont a prety snek but my mom scare
i covered the back of my snake's terrarium with an aquarium background, not realizing it, and he looked at me like he was offended by the aquarium back round lmao
i want a snake so much now 😭😭
@@shoutaaizawa7948 get one !
2:02
Did she just YAWN
Ya they do that sometimes
Yeah that’s true they do that
I watched it 3 times before i realized you meant the snake 🤦♂️
That's actually the snake realigning its jaws. Because its upper and lower jaw bones are not attached, they can sometimes slide out of place, especially after eating. The snake opens its mouth wide to put them back into place.
@@neilweaver2356 u smart
My husband found a baby eastern king snake in our yard 2 weeks ago. I really enjoyed handling it but we didnt keep it because neither of us have had a reptile before. I found your page. I love it! I am now planning a beautiful home for a ball python :))))))) im head over heels with with blue eyed lucys bc of you. Haha i just wanted to say thank you for these videos.
I want a ball python exactly like that... they are stunning ♥️
Same but my family doesn't like snakes :(
@@maclikescartoons my parents never hold mine or touch it either, they are scared but I convinced them to let me have one by telling them that they will never have to hold it or touch it for any reason, it's not like a dog lol.
@@ethanvera1031 I know, that's what I tell my fam, that even if I have a bp they won't see it unless they come in while I'm holding him, or look directly into the enclosure.
@@maclikescartoons and also if you gets the clips for the tank or get a terrarium with locks, it wont be able to escape. I've had both types and the only times my BP has escaped was my fault by leaving it unlocked or the clips off
Just found you channel, and you are SO helpful! I have my heart set on a Mexican Black King Snake😍🐍
Thank you! So glad to hear that! :-)
Jossers Jungle i want one to
I keep going back & forth from a MBK or a BP lol
Kay I love Mexican black kingsnakes also...but they are VERY FOOD AGGRESSIVE!
There such beautiful snakes 😍
I want a bp but my mom won't let me buy one I think she is scared. But she'll come to a reptile expo with me and i really hope I can convince her.. I mean she doesn't have to pay for anything, she doesn't have to see/touch it etc I'm so sad and I can't move out the next 2/3 years because it's too expensive so i'll have to live with her decision 😭
_.ohheybeauty._ xox just get it anyway
Same here! I even already bought some necessary items xD
Roos Kraaijeveld omg what did you buy? Maybe your mom/parents will let you have one now that they see that you're serious about it.. if they're not scared lol
_.ohheybeauty._ xox I saw a second hand 40 gallon terrarium WITH 2 hides and a waterbowl for 100 euro's! Score!
Roos Kraaijeveld yaaas that's awesome!! You're a lucky person haha good luck convincing your parents
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing all of your information! We are getting our first BP next week and I can't tell you how much your videos have helped me not only prepare for him, but calm down and not be terrified that I'm doing things completely wrong! You are a saint for being willing to post so much information for people. Thank you thank you thank you from USA!!
I'm so happy to hear that! Best of luck to you and your bp! Let me know if there is any subject you feel need a video! :-D
Thank you! I will definitely let you know, but so far you've got everything covered and Im so thankful for that!
Amazing video. Have a ball python myself and adore my boy more than anything!
Natalia McGinness I have one too there great pets
I’m so grateful for you.. sounds crazy but without your helpful videos i would have been completely lost with my first and (currently) only ball python, Pandora. she is a 5 month old pastel ball python. I got her alittle over a month ago and she is doing wonderful. ❤️ I thank you!
I'm so glad to hear that! Let me know if there is something else you would like to see a video of! :-)
After years of begging my mum, she's going to let me get a Royal Python. I'm so so excited, I'm a bit scared bc I've never had a reptile before, so I haven't had experience with them, but I'm going to do alot of reaserch and talk to local reptile expos. Wish me luck! 😊
Thank you so much for featuring my fanart at the beginning! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much for your videos! I have loved snakes my whole life and always wanted one but family and roomates were scared of them. I finally got a ball python for Christmas and I've watched so much on UA-cam so I can take care of him correctly. I love your way of giving information, it's obvious how you love them too. I can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos, and I have to say thank you and great job!
Your enthusiasm for animals, especially animals that some people are afraid of (snakes, spiders) is so refreshing!
I got my first ever ball python yesterday, this video helped so much thank you!
My first snake was a corn snake, however I am looking into getting a royal python soon, I am so excited:)
When I brought my snake home she yawned in the car it was hilarious
Sorry I keep rewatching and re-commenting, but you are the best reptile channel tied only with Brian, you both are very knowledgeable of snakes in particular. I love all reptiles (any animal really) but I've always had reptiles far more than anything, so my apologies, but I find you both extremely satisfying to observe and learn from. I quite appreciate accurate information.
Thank you so much for this! I'm fostering a blind ball python and I own a corn snake but I am learning they have very different needs
This is very helpful! ^^ I'm getting my very first snake tomorrow and it's a ball python. I'm so excited. :D
That is so exciting! :-)
so how have the past two years been for you and yer snek?
I got mine today, thank you so much for all of your advice you've really helped me over the last couple of weeks!
Amazing set up and I love ur BP one of my fav morphs. For substrate coconut fibers work but I work recommend mixing it with something else like bark or moss to prevent the fiber from getting dusty which can cause respiratory infections
Noel is beautiful! I just got my 1st ball python who is also a BEL, combo, female 6 mths almost and I love her already and only had her barely a week ! Your channel is so much help, hope you never stop them 😉
Clicked for the beautiful alfredo noodle in the thumbnail 😍🐍
Mothinajamjar I like your profile pic ||-//
Thank you so much! This was so helpful. I’m getting my first ball python this week, and I want to make sure it (they don’t know the gender quite yet) will be happy and healthy. This was extremely helpful! I can’t wait to welcome the new noodle home
I will add that sometimes BPs will soak during shedding time, so that's why I usually recommend a large water bowl. But if you don't want to have a large one, you can easily just amp up the humidity by 5%(too high can cause a URI) to help with that. :)
Whats a URI?
@@erinjohnson3325 I know this was 7 months ago but URI is upper respiratory infection
My ball python is sooo weird! 😂 he is up during the day, and at night almost like he is diurnal and he has such an adorable personality
you think that’s weird my snake will hide Day and night
TYLER SPROUSE my snake will stay in the same position 24/7 until feeding or I take her out its weird lmfao
@@allstr8peopledeservetodie10 me too!!
noell is def my favorite snake of yours! hes so beautiful.
I absolutely love you videos! You helped me, in a way, to adopt and raise my first snake! He's a corn snake named Salazar and I adopted him about five months ago. I absolutely love him and am planning to get a bumble bee BP pretty soon as well. Thank you so much
I have wanted a snake since I was 12 years old, and now that I have the means to take care of one, I bought an albino ball python hatchling from a breeder onine. Your videos have really helped me a lot in the process of learning how to care for my snake before getting one. After a lot of research, I got my beautiful baby boy today, and I am so in love. Thank you so much for your guidance, and for sharing your experience with me through your videos.
Oh my gosh, this is perfect, me and my dad (maybe sister, mom, and brother) are going to shop for a snake tamk and other supplies today! 😁Have a nice day/night :D
My mom is getting me a bp and I’m soooooo excited for it😀😀😀
Thanks for this video...just got my first ball python a little bit a go....this video was very helpful. Keep up the great work!
One of the best videos yet! Thank you for exposing it visual 😁
Your videos really calm me down! I started watching them in the beginning of this year when I just got my very first snake (corn snake)..
I really want to get a ball python one day and your videos are making me fall in love with them even more! 🐍🌼
I'm so happy to hear that! :-D
My cousin use to have four bull pythons. I love them very much especially Stubby. What he does when he feeds them is that he puts them in a separate tub for feeding them, that way they won’t mistake him for food when he handles them. He places a heating pad in their feeding box so they feel comfortable when eating.
they wont mistake you for food if you feed them in the tank either
Thats sweet of him!
You have helped me so much. I got my ball python in September, she is the best pet I have ever had (of course I love my others!) I have had hamsters, Guinea pigs and rabbits, but the reptile have definitely been my favourite. She gets on well with my dog which is great. Thank you so much!
that just means your great with animals
My daughter and I have just purchased a ball python and this video was very helpful. Thank you:)
Question
How often do you need to clean their terrarium? And like chance the bedding and all that jazz? As well as cleaning of the decision, hides ect?
I found this channel and I find this soooo helpful! Thanks to you I might get a snake!
I'm getting my little BP today. This was very helpful. I'll be watching more
Love your page! Just subscribed, you have great content and really go into great detail about your snakes! Thanks for the info
a breeder once said to me that coconut fiber gets too dusty and increases the risk of respiratory infection - don't know if true, but maybe something to consider
Absolutely! I'll keep an eye out for that. So far I haven't experienced anything. But better safe than sorry :-)
Coconut fiber is too muddy when wet and too dusty when dry. It also causes "peanut butter mouth". It also CAN get stuck in their heat pits. I would recommend switching to Reptichip or 100% Cypress multch 😁
This is the exact information i was searching for.. i heard this too, im soon to become a ball python owner, ive been told to stick with paper towels as hatchling and juveniles, then move on to forest floor, coco husk or cypress mulch.
I love this! I wish you had a "boa for beginners" video to!
It's a great idea, I'll make one! :-)
I am so glad I found your channel because you showed a way to set up a terrarium and what to use and Noel is a beautiful snake.We only have bananas,normals,butters,pastels and phantom ball pythons where I live because the prices for a more rare or ''fancy'' morph is so much that you could literately buy six normal ball pythons for the price of a rare or ''fancy'' morph.
I’m getting one next week or the week after and I’m so excited but I’m super nervous bc I’ve wanted a snake for a while but there’s so many things that need to get done!
Thx so much for this video!!! Can you do "How to prepare frozen Mice"?
My husband buys frozen rats, thaws them completely and uses a hair dryer to make them warm and our snake loves it. She eats the rat faster when its warm. I guess she thinks it's still alive because of the warmth. Lolol
I just put it in a container or mug with hot water
Tori's Stories keep frozen until 24 hours before needed. Put them in the fridge overnight, then leave on the counter until is room temp
I gotta ask, is that a south African Accent? or am i hearing something else? maybe australian?
Unfortunate not, it's a danish one :-)
Jossers Jungle ah! Okay that makes sense why it didn’t sound quite right for either!
@@JossersJungle Wow! You are danish?😀 I am too
Jossers Jungle WhaT I’m also danish! :D
Thank you for this very informative video! I'm getting my first ball python soon, I'm so excited :D
Thank you so much for this!! Ive been searching for a ball python and i really wanted to make sure i have the right enclosure. Thanks to you i know!!
Coconut fiber substrate isn’t good for them as it can get into their heat pits. Coconut husk is a better option! 💕
Do i keep the coconut husk in chunks?
I really want a ball Python but I just convinced my mom to get a dog 6 months ago😂 I think it's too soon.
Casey Kidd I don’t think so. Lol. 6 months is plenty of time to get over it😂
Totally bought a dog and a year later bought a BP😂 but I live with my boyfriend and we talked about it for a couple months on and off 😂
Nah I got my third ball python and a cat the same week. I saved the baby ball python from being put down by Petsmart employees
I usually go on a spurt where I research and adopt like multiple pets at once
And then wait a couple years lol
It’ll be fine 👀😂
I am getting a ferret In December and hopefully if all goes well getting a snake and a hamster as well 👀
As long as you know how to take care of them and have time for them it’ll be ok! Just don’t overwhelm yourself like I did the first year I moved out! I got 3 puppies at once and it was pretty awful for awhile 😭😭 worth it now but I was very stressed
Thanks so much for doing this! As always great work, keep up the good work. Again thanks for making this its really helpful :)
i love your setup, i just got mine a twisty twig which he seems to love hes just 8 weeks very active. Im going to add a plant drop for sure to make him feel less exposed.
JOSSER I WILL PROBABLY GET AN CORNSNAKE AFTER THE SUMMER VACATION!!! I am so excited!!!
Now I am very good prepared :-)!
Congratulations! That is so awesome!
Aryan poorasad that’s kinda mean
@@Wolfe-ku2zr Wait, why is that mean?
@@Wolfe-ku2zr what's mean
Great video as always, Novel looks awesome! Can you make a video about snake tank/tube size for diffrent type of snakes. Can novel stay in a 45x45x45 as a big adult?
Thank you so much! I will have a look to see if it's possible! I will most likely move him into something a little bit bigger when he grows a little more :-)
Great video! We will be picking ours up in a few weeks. Right now I'm just getting everything together to get a good home for her.
I had decided to go to a local pet shop to look at terrariums to price them. I had my heart set on purchasing a corn snake from a reptile expo but I found out this pet store is not a pet store, but a feed store and only sell rescues. I saw a 4 yr old regular ball. He had the sweetest temperament. So now am researching TONS so that I can have his enclosure perfect before I bring him home 💕
I've decided I want to get an adult ball python- they're so docile and sweet
Do ball pythons grip as tightly as a boa? I held a baby boa at a reptile expo, and I LOVED the feeling of how tightly it held onto my hand!
By the way Noel looks stunning! BELs are definitely one of my favorite morphs!
They will hold on to you! I have found that when you hold them they rely on you to a lot for stability.
Thanks for replying!
Ball pythons usually hold on tighter I have a boa and a ball python and my ball python definitely holds on stronger and then my boa
Thanks!
Not if a Boa is trying.
Thank you so much, this helped a lot. I can't wait to get my own ball python soon!
Thank you so much for your videos! How often should you change out the substrate? Specifically when dealing with waste, and having coconut substrate vs. newspaper. With the coconut substrate, how will you see the waste and know to spot clean? Or should you full on clean the tank and replace it every few days/week?
Where can you get that enclosure, i can only find some from ExoTerra with about 36 in width
Ju lia i think she meant centimetres and not inches
Don't you need to put the water bowl on the cold side?
Great video! So cool my first ball python is going be just like your first one, all white with blue eyes 😁
Thank you for such an awesome video once again! I have a quick little story I would like to tell you and see what your thoughts are on it (anyone else who may read this comment). So, my son and I went to a big pet store today and I always go in and look at the reptiles first thing. I just love doing that! That is how I was able to hold a Ball Python for the first time. Anyways, I was paying close attention to the baby BP they had and I was looking at the thermometer and Hygrometer and I notice that 1. the little guy was on aspen bedding and 2. the humidity was registering at about 5%!!! I was furious!! I had them get me the manager and I told them the humidity was way off and it needed to be about 55% to 60% and he said to me "oh it's not in there yet". Really?! They are going to put the little guy in there with no humidity on aspen bedding! Now, please correct me if I am wrong but aspen isn't the best for them and the humidity should be up before you put them in there right? Every pet store I have gone to I make it my own thing to go look at the snakes and it seems that none of them ever have it set up properly and they look like they aren't fed well and are low energy. I just want to buy them all and take care of them because they just sit in those glass tank like things and look so sad!! It breaks my heart tremendously!! What do I do? Is there anything I can do? I mean I can't buy every snake in the stores and if I do they will just bring in more then it will be a repeated cycle!! **tears** HELP!!
great video
Humidity never dies in Louisiana 😂😂
Madison Mackay Yes, you’re right! I walked outside yesterday & it felt like I was in an indoor swimming pool room.
Just got a 4 foot ball python from some one for 30$ that the tank heat lamp water dish the hide and one log. I’m just here to learn more about him. I feel like he wasn’t treated with the most love and your video helped me out a bit. He was hiding all day and didn’t know why till I took him out put him on my shoulders and sat down and started doing some research on UA-cam. Luckily the first video I watched was this one and you said it was normal. He’s shedding right now as well and idk exactly how to tell when or if he is stressed
UR LUCKYYYYY!!!
I too, am easily stressed. Newcomer setting up enclosure and this was very helpful!
I have a question and I'm not sure if you've covered it or not- How do you transition your BPs from mice to rats? some people really struggle and I'd have no idea how I'd do that.
I've never had any issues with it. I just feed it same as I do with the mouse :-)
OddSocksQueen It depends on of you feed live or not. I personally do because that's all she will eat and that's the only way I have access to appropriately sized feeders for her. She eats perfectly when it's an appropriately sized, living mouse, but outside of that niche, she wants nothing to do with it. I just switched her 2 days ago, but what I did was when I bought the feeder, they scented it over. They took the rat, put it in a container with dirty mouse bedding, and by the time I got home, it smelled like a mouse so she ate it. If you don't feed live, I guess you could buy live, follow the same process, and then prekill (?). If you feed f/t then I really can't help.
mine ate took his first rat like 2 times faster than mice
do you find that the coconut fiber gets stuck in your snakes nose? i’ve considered coconut fiber when i get my cornsnake but i’ve heard stories of it being too finely milled and getting lodged in their noses.
Never had any issues with it :-)
If you don't want to use coconut fiber, there is always forest floor(by zoomed)! It isn't as fine and holds humidity well!
Jossers Jungle thank you!!
NocturnalRascal thank you!!!
Hello guys I’ve used coconut fiber for my ball pythons and I was able to find dust mites in the tanks so I decided to go with the paper towels but I don’t like that look I like the natural look any input on this
You make great videos. You are such a positive person and your animals are just gorgeous. 😊
That was cute catching your ball yawning
“Absolutely gorgeous”
dat white phyton, so cute
This is my dream snake!
They're beautiful💙
2:03 that yawn killed me! Too cute!!!
45 x 45 x 45 whats? I don't know if your talking inches or centimeters.
Caleb9311 centimeters so like 18 inches all around
Hi Josser, Angel here, I have a question, can a ball python stay stress free without any contact from another python??
Hi Angel, yes they most certanly can. Ball Python are solitary animal and unless you are breeding, it's best to keep them seperated :-)
Thanks Josser, You're amazing! Much love from Houston!!
Can you tell me where you got the natural-looking hide? I’m like you when it comes to the thing about wanting it to look nice and don’t particularly like the black square hides, but they seem to be all I can find aside from the tan Exo Terra ones (which I think I spotted on the right there)
Hey I got a Corn snake about a mounth ago and sins the last couple of days she makes a bit of popping sounds a wierd Sissing and I am very afraid it could be a respitori infection wat do you think it could be
I'm getting my ball python in just 1 1/2 hours! I'm so nervous, I already threw up this morning 😂😂😂

@@juliagrace5289 I didn't even see this comment, I'm so sorry! He's doing very well, he ended up being sick when I got him as a baby so his growth has been stunted. His name is Charlie and he's the sweetest boop noodle ever!

Great informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Know this video is old BUT your snake is BEAUTIFUL.
I watch this to prepare to buy myself one
I recommend a rosy boa for a beginner snake or a kids snake they are easy to handle easy to take care of and awesome to feed and look awesome
THANK YOU SO MUCH
NOW I KNOW HOW
This video is very informative
I love it
Good work
Nice job
☺☺☺💙💙
One question though
When i use a humidity box where should i put it, in the cold end or the hot end?
Thank you so much! I've never used a humidity box, but I would place it in the warm end :-)
absolutely stunning
Where do you put the thermometers? I always hear 'on the glass' or 'on the substrate' but I never know for sure and am afraid I'm measuring the wrong temps with my temp gun.
Wonderful video! Where do you recommend buying heating pads and such? I have had experiences with local pet stores telling me they only sell heating rocks and I wouldn't want to burn the belly of the ball python.
You helped me so much with my python 🐍
love your videos gorl!
Wow! Where did you get that large plant in the middle? I’ve been searching everywhere and can’t find any artificial plants other than suction cup ones😢
