DAILY ROUTINE

We asked Jepoy about his own daily care routine for his babies. “I usually start checking them the moment I finish my cup of coffee in the morning. I check on them again at night. I do this so if any of them are sick, we can cure them right away.”

Just like other people who take care of Ball Pythons, Jepoy has learned not to feed their babies every day. “Feeding and cleaning is our team routine on Mondays and Thursdays. Just don’t forget to always check on your Ball Pythons so [that] if there is one with an infection, you’ll notice if they do right away and be able to treat it ASAP. You have to look out for some diseases, specifically [respiratory infections] because [they’re] very contagious and can wipe out [entire groups], and even if they don’t, they might slow your projects down.”
