He is a champion eater. I moved him into a bigger enclosure last week. I feed him his first rat the same day. Since he has been in it he hasn't used his hide once. He is awesome to watch moving around.

What a gorgeous looking snake. He looks like he's enjoying some sun too. Its nice to see them out in the sun. But I have a question for the albino owners...are they more prone to sunburn than any other python? I guess their scales would protect their skin and you wouldn't leave them out long enough to get burnt but I like putting my snakes outside in vivariums where they have access to sun and shade but just wondering if the skin around their eyes in particular could be subject to over exposure to sunlight.

BAsic Question: My Darwin ate 10 days ago (last owner) bit this morning there was a big snake crap in his box. Is this unusaul? I'm just trying bto make sure he is settling in OK.
Also, she is being fed every 10 day so she is due now should I miss a feed to give her longer to settle in?
How long should she be left after a feed before handling her again?

 

[Ricko]

Try to feed her and she will eat if she wants to. and just let the bump subside then start handleing again

Very nice Fay, how old is she?

Thanks.
I cannot keep track of all our animal ages, but she would be about 2 and a half I would say.

Nasool, your pics didn't work

I just wanted to share that i got a pair of 66% hets on friday and i am soooo happy
I still haven't seen them properly but i still think they are beautiful.
They are from last season and so small but so adorable!
I will have to put feeding pics in here later on, i fed them super early this morning for the first time.

I will hopefully be getting a pair of 100% hets soon too from a friend in Brissy Then to grow them up and hopefully one day end up with an albino
Long way around it but i love the hets just as much as i would an albino and am willing to put in the hard work and effort to breed my own albino to keep

 

[nasool]

Thanks Em1986, try them now.
Our girls is a 100% Het, has the best nature too

 

[Em1986]

WOW, she's very pretty!
Mine both still have a pink colour to most of their bodies but are starting to colour up on their heads and necks so i can't wait to see them after they shed and my male has a stripe down his back too so i hope he keeps it.
Just a few crappy pics of them through their click clack because i haven't had them out yet because they are so new.

Smij just keeps getting better and better! The strong black and yellows on his head look great.

I know, he is really yellowy, he looks amazing in the flesh and he is getting so big.

 

[Ricochet]

Smij has very similar markings to my little wriggly stick. I must get around to taking a few recent pics. Hopefully this upload works.

 

[KaotikJezta]

He does doesn't he
