My poor snake is sick!! [as I said before...]
she might be sick with respiratory infection (well im almost positive she is...)
she is my first pet snake and so I needed advice many times before about ball pythons

some people/sites say that the sickness is caused by low humidity
others say its poor temperature!!
and even some say its a bacterial infection!!!

im sooooooo confused!!! >.<

and also I searched how to improve her health if the infection is caught at an early stage and got even more different answers!!!! :

>take her to the vet IMMEDIATLY
>raise humidity; raise temperature
>lower humidity; raise temperature
>give the snake a bath twice a week and raise temperature
>mist the tank more often
>hold the snakes head up to help drain liquid in the lungs (???)

I dont know what to do...
T.T
I feel so hopeless and confused

could someone who actually KNOWSS what to do plz tell me!!
>.<
I think the safest route is the vet but idk if theres one in my area...
ohhh yeaa
I 4got to mention..
I started noticing the symptons last wednesday right after she ate
it cant be THAT serious yet could it?!?!

it hasnt even been a week yet...
speaking of temps.-
I totally forgot about the incident a couple days ago:
the heat lamp s bulb blew and the temperature dropped to like 70-77 degrees
then i got a new bulb and the wattage was way to high and it reached over a 100 degrees in there!!

I just got a bulb that provides the right temperature today hoping she would be fine

It has been totally taken from
the meaning of life (monty python)

He also hasn t eaten in almost a year. He is in perfect health- and weight. He also is acting perfectly normal. His colour is good a well. I do not see any signs of any kind of sickness either.

I have a baby ball python(2 months old) that i got yesterday from a reptile show...i have everything in the tank that im supposed to have and i have a small plastic container for a water bowl..it has a top with a hole cut in it so it can go in and it can feel secure..i think its called a water hide..my question is..will he find the water when hies thirsty?will he find it on his own?

I wrote a program in Python to calculate factorials.

e.g. 6! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6

I want to ask it to calculate 1 million factorial (all the numbers up to 1million multiplied by each other). This will mean my laptop will be on for the next 2 or 3 days and the CPU will be constantly running at 100% load multiplying massive numbers.

Can I burn out my CPU doing this or is that what CPUs are designed for?
