    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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.....

    =====================


    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....

i know that you're supposed to take out your python when you feed them so they dont think that when ever you go in that you are feeding them. but if you take it out to feed it wont it think you're going to feed it even if you just wanted to take it out?
 
When it comes to BPs, I never feed in another spot. I have been feeding them in thier enclosures for quite a while now and last time I got tagged was this last wed. and that was a 4 day old hatchling that was having a bad day.

1st time in over 5 years a Ball Python bit me.
 
Hi, I agree with Al. I feed all my BPs inside their enclosures. I have never had a feeding response bite from a Ball Python and remove them by hand. Moms protecting eggs and "ferocious" babiesLOL are the only ones who have bitten me in years.
I feed my Borneo Bloods, Col. and Rainbow Boas inside their enclosures also but my methods for removing them are alot different. The Bloods are removed with a hook and after their head is outside the cage they are usually fine."Usually". With the Boas I open the door and let them come out on their own but I'm always paying attention and am close by to assist them in getting all the way out. The Boas seem be more outgoing and like exploring so they usually come out within minutes of opening the door.
I feel that moving my animals with a sizable food item inside them could cause serious damage so I don't do it.
Take Care, Rob:)
