My 9 month old 280 gram ball python feeding on live mice refused a rat(crawler) and it crawled around 15 minutes before I took it out. Should I give him a mice now, or use a rat again with some mice bedding to make it smell like mice? Or any other advice to switch him to rat….

Everything is functional and ready for a new setup.
Pickup preferred. I can also deliver locally for a little extra depending on distance.

Third handling session with my 9-month-old ball python.
I waited about a week before I started handling him. At first he usually just clings onto my hand and stays still, but once he starts moving, he seems more focused on slithering off me than exploring.
What I’ve noticed is that when I bring him closer to his enclosure, he calms down pretty quickly. He’s eating well, and his temps/humidity are where they should be, so he seems comfortable in the enclosure itself.
I’m also planning to move him into a 120-gallon enclosure with a lot more clutter as he grows.
For people with more experience: does this sound like normal behavior during the first few handling sessions?
Selling 3 fully set-up 10-gallon aquascapes. Each tank comes with basically everything you need to get started, including:
Heater
Sponge filter
LED light
Aquascape/decor already set up
I’m not super firm on pricing, but I’d really appreciate reasonable offers that take into account the time, work, and money that went into putting these setups together.
You can also choose to take the betta with the tank or just the setup by itself. If nobody wants the bettas with them, I’ll make sure they’re donated/re-homed separately.
Feel free to message me if you’re interested in one or want pictures/details.
Been sitting upside down like that, for the past, 5-10 minutes I would say. Getting a little concerned now… is this normal or is he stuck?
I thought I bought a 30 gallon tank off of fb marketplace, comes out it was 20 gallon.
I added a marineland biowheel 200(rates for a 50 gallon tank) and cycled it and everything went good, I gradually added the following livestock before I knew it was 20 gallon:
6 neon tetras
6 kuhli loaches(really small)
2 rabbit snails
a 3 inch bristle-nose + a 2 inch snowball (plecos)
the centerpiece which is my betta.
Now I’m thinking I have overloaded it and I’m returning some of my mystery snails(yup I didn’t mention) back.
Should I relocate the plecos too?
Or any other tips
