Ball Python Care FAQ

Common questions about ball python care and how Herp Tracker can help.

How often should I feed my ball python?
Adult ball pythons typically eat every 10-14 days, while juveniles may eat every 5-7 days. Herp Tracker helps you track feeding schedules and sends reminders when your ball python is due for a meal.
Why is my ball python not eating?
Ball pythons are notorious for going off food. Common reasons include seasonal changes, breeding season, shedding, stress from husbandry changes, or being offered the wrong prey type. Herp Tracker helps you identify patterns by tracking feeding refusals over time.
How do I track my ball python's weight?
Regular weight tracking is essential for ball python health. Weigh your snake monthly (or more frequently for growing juveniles) and log it in Herp Tracker. The app shows weight trends and alerts you to concerning changes.
What is a ball python morph calculator?
A morph calculator predicts the genetic outcomes of breeding two ball pythons. Herp Tracker includes a genetics calculator that shows the percentage chance of producing different morphs from any pairing.
How do I know if my ball python is going to shed?
Ball pythons show signs of shedding (being "in blue") about 7-10 days before they shed. Their eyes become cloudy and their colors dull. Herp Tracker lets you mark when your snake goes into blue and tracks shed cycles over time.
