Husbandry

The sheet matches the animal on the rack.

Real husbandry for the animals we keep — heat, humidity, enclosure, diet — plus terrarium setup and the breeding projects we have run. When you take an animal home we go through it again at the counter.

Ball python

Python regius

Designer morphs and well-started animals. The next snake after you have held a corn or a king.

Handling
Calm once settled. Not the first snake if you have never held one.
Enclosure
Secure tub or glass with hides on both ends. Size the box to the animal, not the room.
Heat
Hot hide 88–92°F. Cool side 76–80°F. A thermostat is not optional.
Humidity
50–60% at rest, closer to 70% in shed.
Diet
Frozen/thawed rodents, sized to the thickest part of the body.

Ask Adam or Ashlee what is on the rack this week. Morphs change.
