Re: Analysis of Care etc? Quote: Tank: She is 3'2" and the terrarium I got her in is 24x12x17. I'd like to get her a bigger one, but I don't have the money yet so I'm doing the best I can. It is glass with a screen top; no latch or lock so i keep my biology textbook on the corner. See picture at bottom. For a snake that size, that tank will be fine for a little while longer.

Re: Is a Hide Necessary in a Tub? Big Gunns doesn't like them. He said why on another thread somewhere(BG is lazy again ). There are many reasons why BG thinks they can be a problem, but they can be needed for feeding issues. __________________ You're gonna hate me till you love me.

Re: Problem with very young YB not eating Most babies only take live! Buy a plastic tub and keep a few mice or rats so you only have to make the trip once every couple of weeks! After a couple months of good feeding then you can try to make the switch! Good luck!

Re: Is a Hide Necessary in a Tub? Alright well then i'm going to walmart to pick out some dark plastic bowls or something and put a hide. The tubs i have are tiny neither BP is more than 140g so there wont be much floor room in the tub with the water dish and hide. Is this going to be a problem? __________________ 1.2 Ball Pythons: 1.0 Albino Ball 0.1 Spider Ball 0.1 Normal Others: 1.1 Pomeranian's 0.2 Dumbo Rats

Problem with very young YB not eating Ok, I recently got a lovely little female YB ball at a show near my house. Paid a decent price for her, and I trust her breeder. We gave her a week after she came home to settle in, then offered her a f/t hopper mouse, since she was still pretty small. She wanted nothing to do with it....

I've got a Pastel he has ate rats just fine for me but every once in a while he refuses them so I rub mouse shavings on them and he nails them every time. I'd try rubbing a mouse on it to see if it makes a difference. Also do you tug the rat a few times to simulate a live rat? It fools them into thinking its alive and seems to stimulate them more.

I was thinking about maybe feeding him ...
