Beschreibung Ball Pythons: Caring For Your New Pet (Reptile Care Guides) (English Edition). Why Caring For Your Ball Python Is So ImportantCasey Watkins' eBook titled "Ball Pythons: Caring For Your New Pet" lays out details for pet ownership of one of the more exotic animals on the market. For an owner who would rather have one of these powerful, fascinating snakes on display in their homes than a puppy or parrot, ball pythons offer a sense of the primeval yet require relatively little care. An excellent "starter snake", their needs are minimal. Though they do not need to be walked, groomed, or house trained, these pythons do require some knowledge of snake livelihood to ensure the health and comfort of both owner and pet.The eBook begins with a chapter "Fundamentals of Snakes," a how-to for pet owners who may not be sure how to care for a creature that does not have a wagging tail or a purr to indicate its mood. Since ball pythons, like all snakes, cannot keep their bodies at a toasty temperature like we mammals are able to, an owner needs to keep a ball python warm in order to keep them active and healthy. This, notes the text, is one of the biggest differences between a snake and a dog or cat, since you must maintain proper temperature and humidity or else your snake will not be active and healthy. While one of these pythons could do what humans cannot and live with a body temperature as low as thirty degrees, temperatures less than their tropical homes make them slow and prevent them from being able to eat. Model their habitat to have the ideal temperatures for day and night cycles.Feeding a snake seems a major challenge to those who have not done so before. When you stroll down the aisle of a supermarket, you probably will not notice big bags full of snake food next to the other pet chow. "Ball Pythons" notes that snakes are passive hunters who can go weeks or even months just waiting for something to cross their path. You need not feed your ball python daily -- indeed, if you put food in its shelter each day it will ignore it -- but you do need to give it steady meals. A single mouse (alive or dead) put into the snake's habitat every ten days can be enough. The author lays out the complications of feeding, noting that owners must be careful, never to handle these meals with their bare hands, since snakes will smell the rodent on their hands and can mistake a hand for a mouse.One of the most compelling parts of owning a snake is developing a relationship with the animal. Just because they do not have fur does not mean you cannot hold one and pet it. "Ball Pythons" advises owners on how to handle their python over a long period of time so that it will not react aggressively to someone taking it out of its habitat for handling. After all, what is the point of keeping a beautiful snake around the house if you cannot show it off?
