    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Absolute Disaster

I wouldn't mistreat her, but yell at her and think REALLY bad thoughts at her? Dang sure will. I know its not that she is evil, just weird. I'm just so mad! She just sits there looking all smug. She will probaly regurge him early tomm so it sits in the bin all day until I get back after work and have to clean up his body.
Wolfy(Thanks for all the sentiments guys)
 
Theresa, I am sorry to hear about this. And thats one dang expensive meal. What luck!! :( :ack2:
 
I am really sorry for your loss; don't know what else I could say. Mind-boggling.. That is awesome that someone offered to breed/give you hatchlings though; I wouldn't give up.
 
So sorry

:eek: Oh WOW, I've never heard of anything like that happening with Ball Pythons... :shrug01: I am so sorry for your loss, I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling right now... :( So sorry! :(
 
AHH!!! I'm so sorry!

"I find myself wondering if she'll fit into my blender(not really, but I AM angry). I'm SO mad. I talked to someone who offered to take her in return give me some of the hatchlings(he has a cinny male to breed with her) so I may do that. I just can't even look at her without calling her names."
wolfy

you should take them up on it, but be sure they have her monitered at all times when the male's in with her!! ahhhh!!! :ack2: I got into balls because they were the most innocent and non-cannabalistic snakes i could think of!

O_O I will be up with my snakes breeding/getting chomped nightmares for a long time!
I am so sorry and i hope you can recoup your losses. poor little dude...

No regurge yet. She looks quite happy to sit there digesting my pride and joy. Monster.

Sounds like she might make it then. I was worried about your girl and wishing the best for you Theresa.
 
I'd weigh her now. I am sure you have a recent weight for her since you know she was large enough to breed. The weight right now should be equal to her weight and his weight combined, if not, hopefully he did get out somehow.

Great idea!! I'm crossing my fingers that the fella escaped and will be found soon.

Otherwise, I am so sorry!!
 
Why don't you spend some money on X-rays? I'm pretty sure that for $50 you can still might be able to determine if there are still bones in her digestive tract.

Regards.
 
I'd prefer to not stress her. Trying to get her still enough for a xray would be stressful. By her weight, she ate him. Sigh.
She still seems happy enough to sit and digest.
Wolfy
 
Well my thoughts are that there might be a slim chance that the male escaped, and the one that's stressed right now could be him. Of course if you feel her girth suddenly change after the male vanished, chances are he was eaten.

regards.
 
Im really sory for you loss! thats rediculous!! you should tremind the female that she is A ball python.. not a praying mantis... But with all hope in mind.. maybe she just.. got fat? and he escaped.. maybe...:\ good luck...
