Can someone help me with ball python care?

I just need to know these things:



How often to change water? (It is filtered water)



Do I need to buy water conditioner liquid?



Is Coconut husk the best substrate?



Should it be wet or moist?



How often do you feed a 3 year old?



What size rats do you feed?Can someone help me with ball python care?I change the water every time i feed. they like fresh water. if you are using filtered u shouldn't need conditioner. husk is good but not always the best. shredded news paper is good but i use reptile bark. never use pine or ceder the oils can hurt your snake.I feed once a week and it is a med. rat. with out knowing the size of yours it is hard to know.



oh also try and keep the humidity around 35-45% (45-55% when shedding)Can someone help me with ball python care?About the feeding I dont know because i dont know real size of your pet, and mines not that old. But I beleive a dryer climate is necessary and you really only need to change the water when it runs out, unless they poop in it or something.... and I dont know about coconut husk, but newspaper works well. Or shavings.Can someone help me with ball python care?Hey, Royal Pythons are calm, gentle and curious, making them an ideal beginners snake. You should be aware of their adult size, reaching up to 5 foot (1.5m) in length.

You need provide your Royal Python with an ambient air temperature of 27-29C (80-85F) throughout the enclosure with a basking spot of 32.5C (90F) during the day. At night, allow the ambient air temperature to drop down to no lower than 23-24C (73-75F), with a basking area of 27C (80F). No additional UV lighting is required for your Royal Python. You can maintain the temperatures by using either a basking lamp with a guard or a heat mat, a thermostat should control both these.



Feed you Royal Python on defrosted mice and rats. The size of food given depends on the size of the Python, this shouldn檛 be any larger then the widest part of the Pythons body. Young Pythons should be fed every 7-10 days, older Pythons every 10-14 days and adults should be fed every 3 weeks with breeding females being fed every 2 weeks.



Fresh water should be provide daily in a dish/bowl so your Python may drink or bathe. This is very important when your Python is due to shed its skin. Once you notice the Pythons eyes go clear after being cloudy, bathe it in luc warm water for 10 minutes, dry off then place back in its enclosure. The Python should then shed within 24hrs.



Good Luck.Can someone help me with ball python care?You should chang the water every day. You do not needs water conditioner. Coconut substrate will work fine. It don't really need to be wet but you can have a little moisture to keep the humitidy up. My ball python is 4 feet and he eats roughly every two weeks. He also eats small rats.Can someone help me with ball python care?ok yeah change the water like once like a week. no you dont need conditioner liquid. coconut isn't the %26quot;best%26quot; but then again nothings the best. and it doesnt matter. you should probably feed it maybe once every 1 and half weeks or so. feed it fuzzies.
