Being the herptile expert

Article Abstract:

The care of Ball pythons can pose several problems. Should the snake refuse to eat, providing it with a hide/feeding box and a live gerbil usually solves this problem. However, the live food should not be left in the cage for a long period of time, as the snake might sustain injury from the gnawing activities of the rodent. The eye caps of shedding pythons should be removed as they can cause infections and sight problems. Shedding snakes require a higher humidity than normal. Ball pythons often require an additional heat source, in the form of an incandescent lamp.

Article Abstract:

Many business people get bored with their work when not involved with entrepreneurial activity. At this point, some may think that they have already 'burnt out' and will start thinking about selling out or retiring. However, involvement in other activities, not necessarily related to the business, can rekindle their interest in business and revitalize their whole outlook. Suggestions are self-improvement courses, sports and the addition of more services to the existing business.
