Posted by: Scott_Sullivan at Fri Jun 20 16:56:22 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Scott_Sullivan ] You may want to consider keeping your ball in a smaller enclosure until you get him/her feeding regularly. She may be overwhelmed by such a large enclosure. As for lighting, I have my balls under a normal incandescent during daylight hours and they have their undertank heater for nighttime (which stays on all the time.) This is basically the same setup I use with all my snakes except for my adult boas. Their cage is 6' tall so I have a ceramic heat lamp in their enclosure to keep the temps up. You may also want to try something a bit larger than a pinky. He may just find the prey item too small to be bothered with. Maybe try a fuzzie or small adult mouse. Even better would be a smaller size rat if you have access to a suitable size rat. I was talking to Kevin at NERD and he told me his balls never are given mice, just appropriate sized rats. Good luck, Scott. | ||
