Drax's Story

MEET DRAX! Drax was privately surrendered to Reptilia London and is a Mojave Pastel Cinnamon Ball Python ENCLOSURE: The bigger the better! But no smaller than 36" x 18" x 18" for an adult SUBSTRATE: Ball pythons do best with a mixture of substrates that retains humidity, such as soil, sand, mulch and moss. HIDES: Offer ample hiding space with at least one hide on the warm side and one on the cool side. A thermometer and humidity gauge will help make sure the temperature is correct. LIGHTING: Ball Pythons require a day and night cycle. UVB is not required but there are some benefits of having UVB, such as improving overall health and immune system. TEMPERATURE & HUMIDTY: Daytime: 75-80°F on the cool side and 80-85°F on the warm side. Basking spot should be 88-92°F. Nighttime: 70-75°F. DIET: Carnivores, preying on frozen thawed rats, mice, chicks, or quail. Juveniles eat weekly while adults can be offered a meal every 3-4 weeks. Ball pythons are known for going off food for periods of time at random. WATER: Offer fresh water from a dish at all times. SHEDDING: Juveniles and babies will shed more frequently since they are growing quickly. Adults will shed less frequently. During shed the snake may refuse food, and be a little more defensive! TEMPERAMENT: Ball pythons are a very common pet snake due to their docile nature and natural inclination to hide in defence rather than bite. LIFESPAN: Ball pythons can live for 25-35+ years. One ball python in the United States just turned 52! Ball pythons are a very common pet snake due to their docile nature and natural inclination to hide in defence rather than bite.
