@@minxiimayhem6781 Awe thank you! She's got such an amazing personality. I just love her. She has the prettiest eyes. I have a lil corn snake too. They are a lot of fun.

She's full in-blue and still my gentle giant.

Right! 😁

Thank you

Lol.. I'm taking that as a joke! But, thanks for letting me know to avoid you! I don't need another stalker! LMFAO 🤣

Thank you! I'm gearing to start doing lots of fun videos. My life is always changing.

With education, they can be pets. I respect your opinion. However, my opinion is different.

Check out a TH-cam channel by Chris Graham. He did a video called "How to Build Snake Enclosures". It's great and what I used to build Wennies Enclosure. The ball pythons is my design. None have screen tops.

@@payjenreptilesandeducation13 thanks for the quick reply...I don't want to build one... don't think I would be good at that...can they be purchased?

First thank you so much for your view and comment. I find my younger snakes love to climb. I try to make sure if I have to have them in my homemade rack. They need space for climbing. I've changed it some now. But when I had it like that.. My balls temps and humidity were right on target. With my big girl. I use paper towels and the small hook every time. It's all about routine with her. 🐍😁

@@payjenreptilesandeducation13 def. Anyone who says snakes are stupid hasn't kept them. Routine is super important! I never grab mine near the heads always move slow, use my hook as a tool to say hey it's me not food🤣 I think these larger tubs between 200qt to 120 gallons can work better then any aquarium. I get they're not pretty, but they hold humidity excellent, not as clear glass to feel as exposed, or glass to hit if they strike and miss. Again though because you're now at 16sq ft with a 120 gallon, it's able to give u that 12-15 degree temp gradient that balls absolutely depends on. That's why one side has a heat mat on thermostat and a che bulb(wattage depends on season). Plenty of room for a water bowl big enough for the largest girls, cool hide warm hide and structure. Def does y have to cost a ton. Substrate is not an area anyone should skimp on. I personally use a three part mix and 3", but I use a lot. People forget that balls will burrow if given the opportunity, just like soaking. I hate that small racks and 16ounce water dishes have become the norm. No temp gradient, no light, nothing. What a life. That's why breeders might get 20 yrs out of a ball and a good keeper can get 40

@@payjenreptilesandeducation13 also you're seeing that ur younger ones are using the structure and climbing more because they can. They're lighter and smaller. Now bigger ones will do the same as long as they have proper size structure for there size and weight. My most active and and "friendly" are the adults rarely the yearlings. Most of what I'm saying is in re to balls not ur retics. I know burms, never had a retic before

I agree.. however, I do get her out on a regular basis to stretch and get exercise.

@@payjenreptilesandeducation13 that’s nice but please do whatever you can to get her a bigger enclosure where she can stretch her entire body without u having to take her out to do so. Imagine if it was you in her place n how unhappy n full of anxiety you would be if you couldn’t stretch out n relax when you wanted to. I’ma huge animal lover. N I treat my animals like family members or my children. So I always make sure they have what they need to be comfortable relaxed n happy. Take care and please get your beautiful snake n larger enclosure!!

@@justdoinit2378 I am a huge animal lover too. I'm also disabled and living off disability only. To build a bigger enclosure would cost more than I make a month. I have been saving. But I also paid $2000. For her mouth surgery she needed. So for me.. her getting the surgery she needed was more important than a bigger enclosure when I take her out to stretch multiple times a week. She is happy and the vet says very healthy. So I am taking very good care of her. But if you'd like to help me raise money for her new enclosure that'd be awesome. Considering I'm still paying off her surgery and follow up care.

Maybe you should only have one pet if your on a fixed income. That way you can have the money you need to properly take care of that animal. Instead of trying to scrounge by with multiple animals. I get it once you have one you want more it’s an addiction but sometimes you gotta reality check yourself and say do I have the means to take care of all these animals. If you can’t afford to get them proper sized enclosures then maybe it’s times to reevaluate and maybe down size some. Not trying to be nasty just trying to be real.

Yes. If you are on a fixed income you really shouldn’t keep pets that you can’t afford to keep in a big enough space. I’m sure your intentions are good but it isn’t right.

Thank you for the view! That's awesome! Well I didn't bred her so I don't know forsure. But when I got her they said Jampea. Is your snake a male or female? How big and old?

I'd love to see a picture! 🐍

Female. As far as age not 100% sure as I got her at an expo but from my experience I’d say about 2 years old. 4 1/2 in length. In the year I’ve had her she’s grown at least 2ft. She’s not as wirery as yours but she will mess you up if you spook her

Thank you. I just love her

Yes! She is a Full grown Jampea Dwarf Reticulated Python. Retics from the smaller islands like Jampea stay much smaller than the mainland retics.

It's ok, you don't get it. But, here I am still breathing and continuing to hold her and work with her on a regular.. it's all about understanding them and their body language. Plus routine. I know you don't understand. Regardless I love her and all my animals.

Lol I'd love too! He is the only person she's ever bit and wrapped not just once but twice! However she was not even 9ft and maybe 10lbs.. it'd be much different now! Unfortunately, the ex has continued to stalk me.

I appreciate your comment. She is in fact a morph though. She is a Dwarf Reticulated Python, she's a Jampea. She is also the only morph that occurs naturally in the wild for Dwarfs called Anery. That's why she has those amazing silver eyes instead of orange. Anery means she lacks all red pigment. Leaving her with no red or orange in her pattern including her eyes. 😁🐍

1st of all, thank you so much for your comment and for watching my video. Wennie is a Dwarf. She's Jampea Anery. She is currently 50lbs and is about 13-14ft. She is currently 6 1/2yrs old and is full grown. She goes to the vet often, so I have really good records for her.

Wrong place wrong time! Or it just really wants to know you better! 😂🤣😂🤣

I'm never in control of Wennie! She does what she wants and I enjoy the ride!

Lol.. so true!

This was the best comment. Lol

That's awesome! Love having fellow keepers. What kinds of snakes do you have? Thanks for subscribing!

@@payjenreptilesandeducation13 Blood and Sumatran Pythons, Burmese Python, Ball Pythons, Boas, baby King Snake, Baby Bull Snake, Children's Python. I love all snakes!

I think you have my channel mixed up with other channels. I like to show how amazing reptiles can be when handled properly.

@@payjenreptilesandeducation13 Don’t aim to offend, snakes, lizards, turtles cold blooded. If you have warm blooded pets try not feeding a large reptile and say good bye to your poodle, bunny rabbit, mice or other furry friends. Just saying some of those large reptiles would make a handsome pair of boots.

I guess I'm confused by your comment. Obviously I treat her humanely. Otherwise she wouldn't have her amazing and sweet personality.

Thank you for always helping me with her!

Thank you so much for your positive comments! I really appreciate them!

Thank you so much. I just love her!

Awe, this must be Patrick Voisey my stalker leave me and what's mine alone. I don't need threats from a horrible person. I don't need sex a offender from Jackson County Mo, on this channel spreading hate. Please leave me and my page alone.

No snakes yet. I was still terrified of them back in this video. But this is this is the camper I starting owning snakes in, when I hit the road full-time in 2020. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you so much for your. View and sub! I truly appreciate it! I still own and love Wennie and am trying to find time to get more videos about her out. I'm also breeding ball pythons and currently now hatching them. Plus, I have a baby Suriname ret-tail boa, and 2 corn snakes, now. I came off the road last year so I could expand my collection and start educating people about them. Plus, I wanted to build Wennie a much bigger, and cooler enclosure. My red-tail will eventually be in Wennie's old enclosure, once she's bigger.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I agree the viv is to small for her. I am currently planning and preparing to build her out a much bigger enclosure. In the meantime please understand she is a Dwarf, Jampea, and I was told she wouldn't get more than 12ft. I was also living in my camper, when I built the enclosure and built it to fit my slide. I let her out daily in the camper and took her outside when weather allowed. Now, I still take her outside when weather allows and I get her out at my home and let her stretch when I see she wants to which is on a regular. I will do a video once I get the new enclosure built. I'm currently still paying off a surgery she had to have. Next is a bigger much more amazing enclosure. Thank you for your compliment about me handling her well. I do love working with her. Now that she's full-grown, and I have more space, I am looking forward to giving her a enclosure unlike anything I've ever seen anyone else do. I'm so excited. I have lots planned for her new home! Stay tuned my next video is about her surgery. Then I will do one of her new much bigger and so much better home. 😁🐍

@@payjenreptilesandeducation13 Yeah theres no certain way to predict a dwarf or super dwarfs adult size and there are many unscrupulous people out there that will lie to get a sale. The best way is to get a look at the parents and while that usually gives a good idea of the potential a dwarf or sd retic could grow to there’s no real guarantee what size the offspring will achieve. Where you able to get a look at your jamps parents?

@@BeneathTheGold I saw pics. But, not them. To be honest when I got her, I decided then, that no matter what size she grew to, I'd give her the best home I can. She's now 6yrs old and 14ft and 50lbs. Still very sweet. I'm looking forward to building her next enclosure soon. I do also have ball python eggs in my incubator! 😁🐍

She says she never lets it squeeze too tight and doesn’t let it wrap her up. The rule usually is you don’t handle large snakes when you are alone. That is the point of the video… how she handles it alone safely.

@@BeneathTheGold I would be scared to death to handle a large snake by myself. She’s brave!

I appreciate you subscribing and watching my video. The thing with Wennie is.. She has always had a very sweet and pleasant disposition. I have had her since she was 3yrs old, 8ft long and only 8lbs. So, we have grown together over the past 3yrs. I work with her all the time. I have routines in place to show her if it's food time or explore time. I always give her my full attention when she's out. If I'm holding her and she tries to get tight around my neck, I put my arm between her and my neck and don't allow it. As for her squeezing me.. she only holds on as tight as she needs to stay on me and not fall off. I'm not a rat, don't smell like it, so she knows I'm Mom not food. That being said, she's a large now 14ft, 50lbs Retic. I give her respect and stay with my routine. It's all about staying aware. I'm gentle with her and she knows I'm safe. When she's out. I let her stretch and roam. I stay close. When she's done she crawls up on me and just hangs out with me. Each snake is different. I know mine all have different personalities. I know her and I never forget she is a Retic. So I always pay attention to her and her body language.

@@payjenreptilesandeducation13 thanks for responding. I am REALLY new to reptiles and I’m absolutely fascinated with snakes and I wanna own one one day so I’m trying to learn as much as I possibly can about them before I get one😉.

@@assistanttotheregionalmana349 I totally understand. I spent the 1st 40yrs of my life scared to death of them.. yet fascinated at the same time. My 1st snake was a ball python.. once I understood the body language.. I fell in-love! Lol so I totally get it.

I agree I've heard the different views. But, I believe she enjoys hanging out with me. 😁

@@payjenreptilesandeducation13 that is all that matters 🥰

A snake only sees you as food. They have no feelings of love toward anything or anybody. Keeping such a large snake like that by yourself is just asking for trouble.

She is 6yrs old now. 14ft and 50lbs! She is officially full grown. She is still the sweetest snake. Even when I had to take her to the vet and take her off food for 4mths.. still so sweet. I just love her!

She roams around all the time with me.. She is good. Thank you for your comment.
