my burmese python eats a cat a month...animal cruelty??? or natural?? i get in arguments all the time about this

i want to get one

how many inches is a ball python when hatched?

I hear its a good idea to give your ball a warm bath occasionally to help with shedding or digesting- but how exactly should one do that? How much water- what kind/size of container- etc. I just dont want to stress out my snake or drown him or something.

I know that getting a check up is recomended and i want to make sure it is healthy- but im not sure if i will be able to afford it. Anybody know how much it usually is to get a ball python checked out at the vet?

i have 30 gallon tank and a ball python i have the heat mat on the left side of the tank and a heat lamp so temp is around 80 to 85 basking spot is around 90 and the right side of the tank is around like 60 cool spot my ball stays almost all day in the cool spot is that ok or wat?
