Hi everyone! I wanted to get your opinions on which python would be best for a first time owner.

I would probably need a snake that is around 1.3 metres...

Just picked this guy up today, a 9 month old spotted python named Neo :'D We are waiting for his heat mat to warm up in his click clack :) He fed about two weeks ago and shed just a couple of days ago. Honestly this is the second time me holding him and he's just so chill! His spots are so...

i have been researching snakes for well over 2 months now because when I get my first I want to do everything right. I have been reading books and care sheets and have not found a answer to this one question. do snakes need a moist hide? maybe someone on here can tell me. thanks:D:D

Do I really need a UV bulb for a spotted python? Or will a basking/heat light sitting on top of the enclosure be enough? (desk lamp with an opaque cone cover clamped near enough so it'll sit on top of the mesh top) Just means I can tick off the UV bulb and mesh cover from my lay-by list and use...

Hey guys :) my partner just sent me this pic. It's our resident python which has been living in our roof and those of our neighbours for years. This is the first time we've ever seen it properly :) Any idea on what it is? I'm bummed I wasn't there to see it in person. It looks fairly large :)

After nearly 5 months my 3 year old spotty finally ate what was placed in front of him. I was starting to get worried as he was getting skinny. He doesn't really strike but. You have got to hold the rat with tongs and kind of push it into his nose and he opens his mouth and grabs it, kind of...

Hey guys, I have a little spotted python about 8 months old that has a funny habit. He only sheds just after a feed and most of the time this means his shed often gets stuck around the bulge in his gut. If I don't feed him for a week or so, he just doesn't shed. Does this happen to anyone...
