My happy place.
what did you use to disinfect and clean Olly's enclosure and his stuff? Did you just use diluted bleach?
My cage-cleaning process is somewhat excessive BUT this is the sequence I go through:1. Bleach: I grabbed an empty gallon jug of water, poured about 1/3 of a cup of water out of the jug, then poured a 1/3 cup of bleach INTO the jug. Shook it up real well, poured some of the solution into a spray bottle, and that's my bleach solution. It's weak enough to air out quickly and strong enough to disinfect. (I also bleach every individual piece of cage furniture)2. Scrub: After I wipe away the bleach and let it air out, I use fluker's super scrub to scrub down the entire floor of the cage and really get into the crevices. I also will scrub any cage furniture that is textured, such as his rocks, to make sure that it gets into those crevices too. The scrub is to dissolve and destroy organic matter.3. De-odorize: There's this spray called healthy-pet organic deodorizer, and I spray that allllll over the cage and let it sit for a minute or so before wiping it away too. After those three things, I let the cage air out for about an hour OR longer if there are still lingering chemical smells. Only once I cannot smell a single thing in that cage do I finally lay back down the newspaper and all of his cage furniture. The result is a clean, disinfected, and completely scent-less cage. Additionally, I've found it is stimulating for the snake because he feels like he's in a new environment when all of his scent is gone. It not only stimulates his feeding response back into action but it also keeps him preoccupied for several days with the "newness" of it.
Hello there, I hope you can help me out here. I have a ball python and he doesn't seem to soak/drink. I know he would do it during the night or when I'm not around but he's wrinkly and his skin is loose, but it doesn't look too serious yet. I don't think he's shedding/getting ready to. I did contact a vet but they told me to wait... but I'm getting really worried. Should I contact another vet or just wait? I don't know if I'm just overly a overly paranoid mom, eh.
A few things:
a soak will go a long way. Despite the fact that Simca's humidity was perfect in his cage, his skin was very obviously not cooperating and he wasn't shedding. I gave him a bath in warm 85 degree water for about 20 minutes, periodically changing the water to keep the temperature up. After I put him back in his cage, he shed less than an hour later.
Keep the humidity up! Not just with normal water either. Usually when my snakes are in shed or having moisture problems, I will spray the cage twice per-day with WARM water. The heat from the heat panel usually is enough to keep the moisture in the air warm for a good period of time.
If the snake is a bit dehydrated, don't be afraid to make it practically wet in there as long as there are no places for bacteria to grow. Winter time is very difficult in my area of New York because the air is extremely dry. I use newspaper for bedding, a basic/textureless hide box, and a normal tupperware container for a water bowl. I keep the environment extremely humid and I make sure that i clean cracks and crevices frequently so that nothing can grow, along with generally cleaning the cage top to bottom once per-week and disinfecting once per-month. It seems excessive, but these are the things I do for my snakes.
Snake may be drinking when no one is watching! Try placing the water bowl really close to the hide/area where the snake usually resides. Simca was very shy when I first got him and refused to traverse to the other side of his tub to access his water bowl. so I moved the water bowl right up to his hide and that worked wonders.
Snake may very well be in shed, so as I said-- if you have a lot of biological or textured things in the hide (i.e. natural bedding, wood furniture, textured furniture, etc) you can remove it and replace it with basic stuff for a bit and increase the humidity way up if that's something that you feel might help. Otherwise, soaks. Daily 10 minute soaks in warm water.
These are how I handle things at least!!
