FAQ about Ball Pythons
What kind of records and paperwork do you keep?
Thanks for visiting, I want to be as helpful as I can, so if you have any reptile related questions about ball python care, breeding, feeding, caging, buying, selling, and so on. Let me know :-) my email is snakebloodlines@aol.com.
Rich, "Is your line of Tri-Stripes compatable with the Snake Keeper original lineage of Tri-Stripes?"
Hey can you please give me some tips on how to fatten up or maybe make my ball pythons pick up weight a little quicker? Oh and what is the correct way to thaw out mice and rats to feed them?

Here is a reply I made to someone consistently getting a feeding response bite everytime they opened their snakes cage:
"How high are your temps? Maybe turn down the hot spot a couple degrees. Sometimes we keep them too hot for comfort & this extra heat increases digestion, thus increasing appetite, & we get a constant feeding response every time we open the tub." Rich Macias
