children's python

I’m looking after a friend’s children’s python. I think there’s an issue with either the thermostat or bulb, or both. It has been tripping the circuit, and now the heat/cool function isn't working and the tank was overheating. I can’t find a manual for the thermostat online, only some set up...

First off I want to know if I should be feeding my snake a bigger mice or should I switch him to small rats? He is a very good eater and has never missed a feed since I got him 4 months ago. He was recently on 1 weaner mice every 10 days, but after noticing how chubby he was getting, I decided...

My Chrildren’s python Crikey is too cute and now that I have freed him from his unreachable hiding spot he is the sweetest. Can’t stop staring at his pattern. Wish I could take better pics.

Hi first time owner here. my 4 month marble children’s python isn’t interested in his food. His last feed was a pinkie, on 8/3/24 by the seller, and then was shipped to me 13/3/24. I’ve tried feeding every 3-5 days since, pinching the tips and braining the pinky and then warming up in warm...

I have been trying to feed my children's python a hopper rat for a while now and he isn't taking it, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. His enclosure has a suitable temperature and humidity, multiple hiding areas, and I recently upgraded his enclosure to a bigger size as he had far outgrown...

Here’s Milky Way (Milky for short) my first snake I’ve ever owned (was really stuck between the names (Milky Way, Dice and Pebble). About a month ago I decided to begin saving up for a beginner snake so I obviously decided on a Children’s Python and found the marbled morph jus looked really...

I've had my Children's Python for just over 3 years now, and recently he hasn't been eating as much as he used to. He is three years old, never had any infections of any kind (I regularly check), his enclosure has a suitable temperature and humidity, multiple hiding areas, and I recently...

Hi, I’m Estelle. 26 & from Victoria, Australia. Always been interested in getting a snake but my Mum wasn’t a fan. I have two cats & am doing all my research so I can adopt or purchase a snake. It’s been a struggle deciding on if to go for the childrens python, stimson or for MD or an olive...

Can anyone tell me the visual difference between a tarble and an orange marble? I’ve never seen a tarble. I think I understand the genetics with tarbles being both double recessive marble and double recessive t+ so visual for both, but what does that actually look like? And how does it differ...

Hi I’m a new snake owner, I’ve had my female children’s python (Fern) since November last year. When I bought her I was told that she’s between 6-9 months which makes it harder to pin point her age. She was eating fuzzy mice when I first got her and she was very small, they said that they feed...

Hi all, first time snake owner here. I have a roughly 8 month old Children’s Python, I have had it for around 5 months. It always handled well and only tagged me once when I scared it. A few weeks ago I went to pick it up to handled it, but it was around feeding day and it mistook my finger...

Hi all, I have had my Children's Python for almost a year (purchased as a hatchling) and it has recently shot up in size, and so I need to get a new enclosure. My current enclosure is 60 x 40 x 45, and based on the last shed (of which was a few days ago) the snake is around 60 cm. I was...

Ive got a 9 month old childrens python and i originally got it for a friend/housemate but they handled the python a lot, didn't let it settle in and was pretty rough with the python. Said friend has since moved out and left the snake in my care. I have been trying for over a week to get it to...

I've had my children's python for just over a month now and he's always been a breeze to feed, and overall a very calm snake even when I unintentionally handled him whilst in shed; but for the past two weeks he has been refusing to eat and showing no interest in the mouse at all. Upon pulling...

Hi, I know this is a common one, but I also feel like it's very out of character. I've got a children's, 8 years old, female (have had since yearling). She ate a weaner rat at the end of Feb, and an adult mouse mid April. Nothing between or since- has rejected offers. Very active around her...
