I recently adopted this banana ball python & spiraled when I saw it’s patchy shed & size. Taffy is her name 🥰 I was told it was male but it seems pretty large for a male? I’ve upped its weight a bit & it’s so active, I love this bby. I also had to upgrade the tank bc it came on the shittiest 30 gal AQUARIUM and had improper humidity conditions. This is me showing her off & also asking for size estimates / gender input? Is she also a banana or something else? Okay thanksssss

So I am a reptile owner & recently took in a banana ball python that is supposedly 5 years old. Might be a male but it’s a fairly big one, I can gender myself but that’s not my top priority. I got this baby in a 30 gallon aquarium & there were lots of red flags. Not a big enough water bowl, obviously the size of the enclosure, eye caps (so assuming humidity has been way too low), and it’s severely underweight in my opinion for a ball python… when I pick it up I can feel the scales catching from its body not being filled out. So a few questions bc my other snake is a baby so I’ve never had to bulk up a snake … how often can I feed it? Bc again I need it to gain weight. Second, do I just let the eye caps be & hope that the 70-80% humidity eventually helps remove them? I’ve been treating it as if it’s in shed bc the head & neck have had partial sheds. Third, ideally a 120 gal tank for this bad boy, right?
