A bit of advice I myself would have found usefull when I bought my first snake!
I'm sorry about me sounding funny, I'm a bit sick at the moment.
And no, she does not have mites. The black dots are a part of her pattern. Go search banana ball python or coral glow ball python on google, and you'll see :-)

You are the best you tuber ever
Thank you so much! :-D
Jossers Jungle I hope u get better :-D
I agree :)
Agreed!
I'm watching this while I know that I'm not allowed to have a snake.
Julia G Same . Can’t Wait To Live By Myself And Have Like 10 Snakes 😊
Yeah, once I move out I'm definitely getting myself a danger noodle
That sucks man
Same 😔
same, i want one so bad
EDIT: I'm getting a snake in February! My mom agreed to a garter snake because it eats fish and worms instead of mice or rats!! 😁
I recently got my first snake, a baby snow corn snake, I have named her Strawberry. I have had her for about 2 weeks and have started handling her, I am still a bit nervous handling, but she seems to be patient with me lol She has eaten thawed frozen pinkies twice and hasn't had any problems, I feel very lucky as I know people who had trouble with their snakes eating at first. Your channel was such a huge help when I was doing research before I got her! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad to hear that! :-)
OhHiNebulae I recently rescued a corn snake that was a month old and had yet to eat. His owners were trying to feed him crickets. He's so small he can't take a pinky however I've got him eating thawed pinky legs. So far so good 😁 awesome job with your corn.
BNC Reptiles WHAT THE FUCK... They thought snakes could eat crickets?
OH NO! That is terrible! I am happy you were able to rescue him!
OhHiNebulae do you use a heat mat or heat lamp for your corn snake thnx
Advice I have is 1) get a laser temp gun. They are very accurate and easy to use. 2) there are power switches that can be set based on temp. If you get one, put the probe one it where your snake lays so that the reading is more accurate.
Nice tips! However if you have a burrowing snake set ur probe between ur heating mat and the enclosure and adjust the temp with temp gun. Otherwise ur snake might dislocate it when burrowing.
You are adorable - I mean this as politely as possible! Your enthusiasm and sincere care for both your pets as well as letting us viewers know what's going on is so appreciated, and "rubs off" in the way that it just makes me feel like you truly care.
I've been wanting a snake since I was a child, and watching your videos helps so much in taking notes that I feel are important for a first time snake owner - which I hope to be at least by next year. Thanks for all of your videos! I'm glad I discovered your channel!
JUST GOT MY BALL PYTHON TODAY FOR CHRISTMAS AND IM SO HAPPY💗💗💗💗😋
I'm getting a baby Cali king for my first snake on Monday!! I was inspired to get a king because of you!😊
I absolutely love your videos please never stop making them
Sean Anthony That's a promise!! :-D
My advice is to keep a journal for each of your snakes. Record dates and data for every weigh in, feeding, and beginning and end of shed. This data can be incredibly useful for keeping track of your snakes growth rate and general health.
Thanks for doing a video on this, I really appreciate it! Love that you added the bit about the vet. Too often people think of cost of ownership only in terms of purchase and upkeep!
I recently rescued my first two snakes (both ball pythons!) and unfortunately they had brought bloodmites, and one had a little bit of scale rot, fortunately they're getting better! I found myself binge watching your videos for tips and began getting hooked, your videos are really great! Thanks for making them
I just got my baby ball python yesterday, and I've been watching a ton of your videos to make sure I have everything down. you're an amazing youtuber and I love your snakes. thank you 💗
that snake looks just like my sebastion! i love my boy and you have done so much to help him without even realizing it. he wasn't eating until i started using the advice from your videos! thank you, and i love your videos so so much
I finally convinced my mom to let me get a Ball Python! I commented a while ago on the "Why I should get a ball python" video. I just wanted to update you. He's arriving on Monday and i'm so stoked!
Thank you for the great advice, I've wanted to own a snake for years but felt I wouldn't be able to care for the animal properly. But after watching a lot of your videos I believe I'm ready to take the step into becoming a snake owner. Again thank you for the great advice.
Incredible information , and thanks for sharing, as it can be frustrating as a first time snake owner. Wish there was the help out there that is today when I was first starting. I learned quite a bit I didn't know. Another awesome video.
Getting my BCI on Friday, your videos helped me a lot.
Thank you and keep on doing it. :-)
Just bought my 6th snake which is a little hog island boa. Your videos on boas are super helpful 👍 Keep up the great work!
I got a Spider Ball recently and with the help of your videos she seems to be doing great! She ate on her first day and tomorrow is her next feed, I love your videos please never stop making them!
I'm so glad to hear that! Spiders ball pythons are so beautiful! That's a promise! :-)
I love all of your videos. I don’t have a snake yet but have been doing my research. Your videos have been instrumental in helping me to get ready to be a responsible snake owner.
I'm getting a ball python for my birthday! It's tomorrow!! Should I get a normal morph for $10 or an albino for $100? (Male or female, they are babies) Btw great timing on this video! Love your videos!! :D
MrCrappyUploads You should get the one you like the best! If you like the normal best go for that, but if the Albino is more your favorite go for that one! There is not much difference between male or female, except the females do tend to get bigger than the males. Happy early birthday!! :-)
Jossers Jungle thanks!! I might go for the albino but either one looks great. Thanks for the video and advice!! :D
Jossers Jungle one more question. If the ball python won't eat and I thawed out the mouse/rat, is it possible to freeze it again or is it going in the garbage?
MrCrappyUploads I would definitely throw it out, never a good idea to re-freeze :-)
Jossers Jungle thanks again!! :)
Great video!
All of your snakes are so beautiful, and you are so good at taking care of them. 💕💕
Thank you so much Kendall! :-)
Thank you, this was very helpful for me since I got a snake without really paying much attention to what you should do to take care of it.
What a very informative video. Not only for fort time snake owners, but for those who may have been misguided. Great job.
Totally right , I bought my snake an hour ago and the person I bought from told me that i will be able to hold the snake an hour after she eats. Stupid ..
The money saving tip strikes me as so obvious that I was surprised to hear it. But yeah you're not making these videos for me ;D Glad you mentioned it! I hope thanks to you it will ring some bells for some people!
I would recommend getting the right thermostat too, dimmerstat for light bulbs, on/off stat for heatmats, and pulse proportional for ceramics.
Also you can get day/night versions too for closer matching of their natural environment.
And I would say put a guard around any spotlight/ceramic heater (definitely for ceramic though, as they are blisteringly hot to touch), since snakes can typically reach high places even if they are terrestrial like ball pythons.
Love your videos....I'm planning on being an owner soon & these videos help a lot! Good job!
1st time snake owner ... Love your videos, you have put my mind at rest with lots of questions and concerns I’ve had! THANK YOU !
Have been reassured massively.
How many snakes have you got?
Also, it’s way better getting great advice from a very pretty face, with great energy, and enthusiasm for you snakes !!
Great video 👏🏻👌🏼
Thank you so much for the clear & simple information. Your videos are awesome!
watching this with Lucy, my 8 month old bp, and she is very curius about Ariel there XD
LOve you Jossers
Silva_Power Lucy sounds so sweet! Thank you very much! :-)
Perfect timing!!! I just got my first snake, a western hognose, on Sunday!
Mr.McFrizzy congrats. Hognose are amazing animals and make great pets. They take food regularly and almost never bite 😁
Every day I go to school waiting to come back to watch one of your videos.you are the best
WOW your at 9k subs. That's great!!🐍🐍
I really appreciate your videos, they are extremely helpful for myself. Being a reptile lover, especially ball pythons, it kills me to see people mistreat their amazing pets. With your videos, I helped save a 3 year old python that was given away to an uneducated reptile fan. The new owner had nothing for this poor baby! No tank, heat mat, water dish, no place for her to hide. He just kept this poor snake on his shoulders all the time, except to feed... He used a bucket for feeding, because that's how the previous owner feed her. Everytime the owner fell asleep, Slivlyon, the snake, would escape and hide in the couch for everyone to sit on her unknowingly... So I had enough of his animal abuse and forced your videos and some other youtubers at him to get the point. He realized he was out of his league for owning a snake like a ball python, because he had no job, and happily gave her up to a family member of mine, who is experienced. She is happy healthy, and except for a scar from hiding in the couch, beautiful. Thank you 💜. I one day hope to be as amazing of a reptile owner as you.
Again very valuable nuggets of information.
My dad wants to get a ball python next week and I'm going to be the
critic of the snake and tell if there are any flaws with it
I love your videos!!! Definitely gonna subscribe. I own a tortoise and I have been wanting to get a snake for a while. You have taught me so much. I just started my channel and I would love to talk about my pets. Got any tips on how to start animal channels?
Your one of two of the best herp informer the other ladies only complain no info just whining
At one time, I had two ball pythons one being a male pastel and the other being a female albino. After feeding the male his mice, I had the scent of the second mouse on my hands. When I fed the female albino ball python, she inadvertently bit me on the right hand because of the scent of the mouse from the previous feeding. She left a good bite on my hand and it drew blood. It also hurt a bit too ! Another good piece of advice is to always wash your hands after handling the feeder mice and/or rats before you feed the next snake.
Thank you josser you helped me alot I'll be getting my very first snake very soon!
Thank you so much for this video!
So glad to have found your channel. I'm currently saving up for a terrarium setup and a new friend :) It'll be my first but I don't know which type yet. Would you reccommend snakes from zoo/aphibian/reptile store? I heard that people don't reccommend it because they could be ill (i.e. they are not taken care of properly).
^~^
I always recommend buying from breeders directly or at expos :-)
Love your vids I know some people are scared of snakes also think all snakes are mean but their not I loveee them thz for the tips ♥️🐍
That snake was so chill
Could you do a video on setting up a baby/juvenile ball python in a tank? I'm finding a hard time finding good examples because of the tub vs tank controversy but I'm only wanting one maybe two ball pythons as pets and this is my first time owning a snake. I loved your juvenile boa setup video and found is super informative :)
just go with a tub, it's cheaper
Hi! Thanks for the informative video! So, this is going to be long, but I have some questions! I just got my sand boa, Sev, yesterday at a reptile expo. I think he may have been a little stressed as he had probably been handled quite frequently during the day by other people at the expo and had little space to burrow in. He was not able to be put into his new environment for an hour or two which probably only stressed him further, on top of my showing family the new addition. He burrowed right down and poked his head out, almost in a content way, and quickly went back under. Hours later I took him out to check on him again, and he was a bit jumpy and jerked towards me when I tried to pick him back up. I put him back in his terrarium, and since then, he hasn't budged from his spot. When I woke up this morning I looked under the tank and saw his body lined up in the corner where the heating pad is, and he's been in the same position, and it is now night. I intend to feed him tomorrow, but I know that you shouldn't handle your snakes when they have been put into a new environment for a few days. Sorry for the long comment, but I have two main questions: Do you think he's okay? And, so I don't bother him tomorrow or spook him again, is there any specific way I should dig him out from the substrate or lure him to the surface? Thanks!
Nice vid can't wait to see what the new black and white bp's name is
Joining your Facebook group right now!!! 💜💜💜
I don't know if you already had a video on this, but I was wondering, how do u know when to bump up your snakes feeding size or how much they get??
getting mine Wednesday, re watching videos because im excited 😂. Any advice ?
I got a boa a few weeks ago and I'm having a very difficult time with him. I was given the snake from my friend who had the snake left at his house by a roommate who was neglecting him and this snake was always very friendly until I brought him home. I fed him good the last couple of weeks and gave him some things that he didn't have before. He was so nice and now he wants to bite me. People said give it a week or 2 but I'm on week 3 and he is pissed. My python was sweet the first day and always has been. I just don't know what to do.
Your the most helpful person ever thank you
Get well soon!!
Thank you! :-)
I am doing a lot of research so that in ready for when I get my first snake! I was wondering why having a timer is better than keeping a heat source on all the time?
Great video. What type of snake is Alistair?
I really enjoy your videos and advice ! I have a baby king and corn snake and they will not eat , i tried frozen thawed pinkies , i tried live pinkies i tried feeding in enclosure to not stress them out taking them out , then i tired taking them out and feeding them outside , i tried tease feeding I'm really worried . and advice? thanks in advance .
really helpful for a beginner snake owner :D
Buying a ball or royal python soon and this helps thanks🙋😄
Maciek Zieba Glad to hear it! :-)
Love your videos💕
Wait so I can’t touch my snake for 10 days when it sheds and 2 days when it eats. When will I actually be able to handle it hahah
Loving your content
I've just gotten 2 mexican garter snakes as my first snakes. They are absolutely gorgeous and I love them very much! Unfortunately, one of them is a bit agressive when it comes to handling and often tries to escape the terrarium when I open the door. Is there a way I can prevent or stop this behavior?
I love your videos 💕 are u ever coming to Ireland?
Charlie flynn I don't have any plans right now, but I would absolutely love too! :-)
You have great advice
i’m getting a ball python very soon (after i get the cage setup and the morph i want is in stock, which could be anyday) and it isn’t the first snake in our family, my dad got a snake a couple years ago, that unfortunately passed away at 2 years due to a power outage during an ice storm. but it’s my first personal snake. it’s gonna be in my room and i’ll be completely responsible for it and honestly i’m really nervous because i wanna do everything right and i wanna keep him happy. do you have any advice for when he first arrives? should i immediately put him in his cage or is it ok to handle him a bit? what should i do for the first days he’s here, etc.
Amazimg vid loved it like every single time 😊😊😄😄
So I have a question on the timer for my corn snake. I have a heating pad under its enclosure and it's in a bin. Do they need that on for nighttime as well or can that be on a timer?
Hi! I have a question. I got a Mexican black kingsnake almost 2 weeks ago. He is only about a foot long so probably still very young. I've been giving him space and he is starting to come out more and more, and now comes out and flicks his tongue out at me when I'm near his tank. I would like to start handling him but when would be the best time to do it? As in, should I wait for a time when he's already out? Or could I take him out from under a hide? If he tries to get away should I not pursue? Or should I try to take him out of the tank anyway? I'm not sure if there will come a time when he'd just be like "Yep go ahead and pick me up" and I should just wait for that, or if I need to handle him once a week whether he likes it or not so that he gets used to it. With mammals they warm up to you and start asking for affection when they're ready, but with snakes I don't know if that happens or if I just need to be a little, gently, pushy to get him used to me. Thanks!
question i have a 3 month old hypo bci boa i have her in 20 gallon tank heat pad set at mid 90s as well as ceramic heat admitter for ambient witch ranges from 95 to 80 on low end humidity 65 to 75 she just shed perfecly she always stayd on the cool side i never see her exploring cage any thoughts or anything to worry about??
I usually have the heating lamp on during the day and the heating pad on at night. Should I turn the heating pad off at night ?
Do you put your snakes into hibernation? Particularly the cornsnake and kingsnake. I've heard conflicting accounts on wether or not you have to do it.
than you so much this help alot
I'm getting a ball python reallyyy soon, either today or in a few days, but I cant think of a name, how did you come up with your snakes names? Also, when you first get them, how long should you let them get used to their surrounding environment before you handle them?
Hi there! I have always wanted a snake, a ball python in particular but I had a question for you! I know that snakes don't particularly enjoy being handled but they tolerate it, but I would really enjoy handling my snake at least once a week. Is that too much for a ball python? Also, what kind of time limit should the handling sessions be? Can I just chill out and watch Tv for an hour with the snake or is it more like a few minutes? Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks! Love your videos =D
Hi!
Great questions!
In general I take out my snakes 1-2 a week for a couple of minutes, but sometimes for longer periods like 20-30 minutes (rarely though, don't have the time). So I would say you could definitely take it out 1-2 if not more a week and have it out for a max of 30 min. but again, this is just what I think. If your snake is doing well and doesn't show signs of stress (not eating, overly active, angry etc.) you should be good :-)
Do you by any chance have recommendations for a timer? I've been shopping around but all I see are ones with bad reviews, so I don't know which one to get.
Great video
Hi i dont have a snake pet but im planning to have one but i have one question. Should you feed your snake while shedding, before shedding or after the shedding
Baby corn as of last week! Thank you💕
How your snake doing now?
Ally Nicole ^ I’m curious tooooo lololol
Does loud noise typically affect stress level in snakes, specifically the California King Snake?
You an get a thermostat with the ability to do a nighttime temperature drop. That's a better option for most people who's room temp might not be comfy for a snake.
Quick question. I've never had much trouble with feeding my snakes but i do prefer feeding frozen, it does have a lot of benefits to it considering my snake aren't exactly hunters. (My Mexican black kingsnake just takes the mouse, he doesn't strike at it he just grabs it from me.) My ball python (my first snake) did not eat for a week (he was eating live before I bought him) and I waited another week not knowing I needed to give him some space for a week or two. (He eventually ate and now eats in about thirty seconds) I just recently bought a Lucy, and she's not eating for me, I've had her a little over two weeks, and i tried feeding her twice. Normally thats when things start to go south in my experience. Do you have any tips on what I should do to feed her? (She was on live before, I bought her from this place called the Chicago reptile house, they are basically breeders with a storefront which I think is really cool.)
I have been a snake owner for maybe four years and I think my snake gets really bored so thank you even if I see this three years later
Hiya
I am getting a corn snake for Christmas can u do a full care video and tip u wish u would of new
Thanks X
I already did a cornsnake care video :-)
What about a thermostat like a herpstat?
Thanks, helped tooooonnnnss❤️
I have a corn snake and he has a day lamp and a night (red) lamp and a small heat pad on the bottom. Mid temp is low 80 in the middle of the tank. Is it ok for me to turn the red light off at night?
I just got my baby corn snake yesterday she is pretty friendly but she’s in shed should I bump up the humidity now or when the shed is actuallly coming of
I have a 4 month old bp that I got a month ago. I've been petting him in his terrarium and have only taken him out once for about 5 minutes. When I did take him out, he tensed up and looked like he was about to strike. I have a friend that's coming to my house tomorrow and wants to see him and I really don't want her to be bit or be scared of him. I'm also a little nervous about handling him because of that. Do you think he'll strike if I take him out for a couple minutes?
All great advice.
This may sound stupid but I was wondering-how often do snakes shed?
This is more of a question: when you get a new snake, and you dont know if its been feed anytime in the week, should you wait till the start of a new week? Or try feeding it then and there? (I dont not own any type of snakes but i would love to when am older) ❤️
Thank you for that nice video!!
Get well soon!! ;( :-)
Robin Grossl Thank you! :-)
Do you shut they lights off at night on them and turn them back on in the morning? (Asking about ball python)
I just found out by reading your facebook name that you're danish (so am i) so i was wondering if you know any vets in hovedstadsområdet? i hope you live there or at least know some, but if not its fine. I just find it incredibly difficult to find any danish good sources on caring for snakes and what to do in cases of emergency. Do you have any advice for snake keeping in Denmark? I hope you'll reply it'd mean a lot to me, since i'm strongly considering getting a pueblan milk snake for my first pet snake, and your videos have helped me a lot
I have a 40 gallon tank and i only have one hide and something to climb on and i ha e the heatmat but it doesn't get hot is that ok? And is eating prekilled but the problem is the humidity i don't have something to medure the humidity and i don't have a sprayer so can i just put water directly... How many times you spray the enclosure... Someone tell me what to do with the humidity
Great video :) but i have problem with my baby corn hes agresive when i want to handle him he just bites me does he thinks my hand is mice ? Help
Quick Question- Do the tongs you use to feed your snakes have a specific name? I'm preparing to possibly own one, and I wanna make sure I have all the right supplies. Thank you
Yay another video :3
What do I do when a snake refuses a frozen Thawed mouse do I put it in a baggy and freeze it or just throw it away
