    jungle python bedding

    hi guys, could be getting a new jungle python Hatchie soon. As I am a beginner have a few questions. How much should I feed her, is there any particular way to use as a guide? and if I put news paper down as a bedding in the click clack, can I put straw on top or would this cause health problems?
