" Hi I’m Daniel Keeper owner and operator of Zoo Keeper Exotic Pets in Austin, Texas and on behalf of Expert Village.com; today we will be talking about the ball python. Ball pythons are the latest rage in the reptile scene right now. They have a lot of advantages. They don’t get too big; max out between 4 and 6 feet long. They have a long life span up to 40 years or so and lately in the last 5 to 8 years, there has been a big surge of designer ball pythons that are selectively bred for different colors. This particular one is a male albino ball python. Lot’s of people are producing really crazy schemes and patterns on these guys and some of them sell for $25,000 a piece. So if you learn to breed and produce these things, you can do this is a closet and produce lots of money in a small space. You just have to have a thing for snakes. "

on 4/17/2009 I have gotten mixed answers about how to help humidify my ball python's aquarium. And am not sure how humid it needs to be to help her shed. I got my pet from a friend, who does not know much about pythons. Her aquarium is 2'6" x 1' x 1'. Ti'ana is about 1 1/2'. I have a bowl of water for her to swim in and a bowl of water for her to drink. I have a day and a night heat lamp for her which sit on the lid of the aquarium. I have had her for about 1 1/2 weeks and she has yet to eat anything, which is starting to concern me. Do you have any experts suggestions for me?
