I love them. I bought two a couple months ago, unfortunately they both died within three days. I am really not sure what could have caused it. I bought everything new, enclosures, substrate, hides etc. i set everything up and added them. One immediately went under the hide and never came out, the other kept going into the water dish and soaked, came out a bit then went back in. I don't know what i could have done wrong. The temp was ok, ranging from 78-85. I thought maybe i should have disinfected everything and sterilized it all before adding them. Does anyone know what may have happened? So i can do differently next time.
i used zoomed fir bark substrate, half round hides and cork hides, zoomed under tank heat mat, flukers ornamental plants, ceramic water bowl (with tap water), exo terra forest branch.
one ball python was a baby just about 12-13 inches (that one died under the hide) and the other was larger about 20 inches (he was always going into the water).
