Have to keep it rinsed out and make sure mold doesn't grow. I’ve heard of people using cloth rags, paper towels and things like that, but it’s a lot more work than using the moss.

We got him for our sons 12 birthday and he loves him and wonts to hold him but after reading your page he knows now he has to wait.Your tips are great but I do have one question. Should I try to feed my snake at this time? He eat a dead mouse every week and is due one now.

I have part of it off, but stopped at the eyes because I was afraid of hurting her. Should I let her do this on her own, or finishin taking it off?

Ball pythons are notorious for going off their feed for months (3 to 8) out of the year but typically this happens during the winter. What kind of python is she?<br><br>As far as force feeding, it puts a heck of a stress on their system. How long do you wait between feedings? If she's not losing mass at an accelerated rate it doesn't hurt to let them fast for a few months. Just make sure she isn't losing a lot of weight and get a vet to check her out as well.
