Bringing in 4 new baby Pastave Pastel Ball Python babies to my snake family and next week the other three will come in. This video shows all four of the baby brothers that will be here by the end of next week :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BbkS...
I already have the first of four babies but the breeder is getting rid of some of his snakes so I told him I want the other three babies from this clutch because I want to keep all four of the babies together and give them a great life and a great loving home :)
I will be making a follow up video when the other three new babies come in and I would appreciate some name suggestions for the new babies from all of my friends :o)
All of the baby Ball Pythons are coming from Rocky over at Serpent's Cave :)

I'm still having to partially assist feed my 4 baby Ball Pythons but have found that they can eat on their own but they prefer to be held while eating for some reason assuming they feel more secure being held and because they really had no interest in eating the rat fuzzies I decided to try them with small mice and they really had a lot of interest in eating those so for people that are having problems getting their babies or young juvenile snakes to eat I suggest offering them something different to eat instead of their usual meal items :) Snakes throughout their lives do like changes and to have things different around them and not only does it keep them from getting bored but also change is good for brain stimulation.

I apologize for being behind on posting videos but with all the work being done on the house remodeling it and adding the huge outdoor Boa enclosure and now the new big snake room addition is ready to start going up and with 20 snakes I've been super busy. Our weather has been crazy either too hot to take the snakes outdoors or either pouring rain and thunderstorms so I don't take my snakes out unless our temperature and weather is rather stable and predictable :o)

This has been a wonderful experience teaching my daughter Carla Jr. to assist feed baby snakes and she's really picked it up fast and is a natural at it so I'm VERY proud of her. I have been asked about how the 4 baby Ball Pythons are still doing they are all getting big and strong and are eating just fine and they certainly are beautiful snakes, all 4 of my new boys, Tommie, Nemo, Quinn and Calypso :o) I figure possibly one more partial assist feeding and they will be eating independently on their own and then how fast they will grow :) It's important to be patient with your snakes so you don't stress them out because a stressed out young snake can be reason that it may refuse food and be reluctant to attempt to eat !! Normally these young snakes would be eating on their own but having been handled they have realized that they enjoy exploring and being active so it's become a challenge to keep them still and focused on eating instead of roaming around once out of their enclosure. As much as I've hated to I've had to refrain from handling them as often so they can be more focused on eating and once they are all eating independently then once again I can invest more quality time handling them and bonding with them :)

I always started out handling my baby snakes at an early age once they are well established eating and I can see their curiosity growing to watch everything going on around them and when they start pacing and wanting to come out I take them out for short handling sessions so they can learn to trust you and they realize in time that they are safe being close to you and doing this on a regular basis a couple of days a week you will eventually notice that they display a LOT of interest in wanting to come out of their enclosures to explore their environment around them outside of their enclosures and the exercise and exposure is good for them because the more active they are the better eaters they are and they grow into strong healthy snakes.
My one rule is if I see any of my snakes displaying signs of stress then I put them back into their enclosures so they will feel secure :) When snakes are active that doesn't mean they are stressed out being acvtive is how snakes act out in the wild so there is no reason to assume that active snakes means stressed out snakes because there is a VERY distinct difference between the two meanings. Snakes will seldom learn to trust you if they spend all of their time locked inside of their enclosure :(
I made this video to announce the four names that I've selected for my 4 new male baby Ball Pythons. They are Pastave genetics, Pastel genetics and Mojave genetics and are adorable little babies.

I want to thank everyone for all the amazing name suggestions I really do appreciate it and don't fret if I didn't select the names you liked because Tawny (My big female Corn Snake) has 22 gorgeous big fat healthy eggs in the incubator that will need names when they hatch :)
You cannot TAME a snake because humans don't have the capacity to deprive snakes of their natural instincts but snakes can be socialized through handling !! Don't be afraid to talk to your snakes even though they may not always understand what you are saying they recognize your voice :o) They also relate to your heartbeat, your pulse and your scent and they recognize your touch!!
