    Re: Please help: Ribbon snake problem

    I'm not crazy about carefresh- seems to dry to me, but if it works for you, and seems to work for the snakes, go for it.
    Lori, I would just watch the ball pythons, especially at shedding time to make sure there is enough humidity. My ball python gets kinda constipated and has trouble shedding if humidity is too low. But, like I said, if it seems to work, good deal.

    Loren, I've been holding out on putting the balls on it for that reason. I think now I'll just skip it. I think they need their bedding to hold a bit of humidity. Thanks!! :-)

    Mine haven't eaten in 2 weeks... hope they're not off on a hunger strike. I've been so lucky with them so far!!

    I think fasting long periods of time is pretty normal for balls. I think somebody said that they're off feed for several months each year in the wild.

    Bp's need a water bowl to soak in, too.

    Re: Please help: Ribbon snake problem

    Mine never soak. Everyone else's soak. I have defective bp's, LOL!! But they shed clean every time... and they certainly have a huge water bowl for soaking if they choose. Silly girls. :-)

    Re: Please help: Ribbon snake problem

    Lol, naw. Mine doesn't really soak either. He slithers in and right back out. He had a lousy shed last time, though, so I'm making him soak with a weekly bath time, lol.
