|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-06 Location: Melbourne Age/Gender: 21 | | | | My water pythons name is Spawn. Bet you can guess why. He is a pscho but great. Cant get close to him without being bitten numerous times. Very active pythons and great to watch. Have seen some very tame waters, guess it just depends on the individual. |

Every single water python i have held has hated me. Even the ones that are really placid and never ever bitten anybody, as soon as i hold them they turn nasty. They seem to like emptying their bowels on me and then trying to bite. I hate water pythons.

Or is that just mine ? | Mine does that as well Wrasse. Really snappy at first now gentle and clingy  |

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Cairns | | | My experience is that young water python are pugnacious.
But.. if you feed them heaps, by the time they are 6-7' they settle right down.
IMO, most people underfeed them. This is a python that will reach adulthood in 18 months in the wild in favourable conditions. I have only one water python now  and he was a poor feeder for nearly two years and not a nice snake to be around. Now that he's feeding well, he's settling right down.
Krissy, be aware wih your adults that their natural body shape is a lot heftier than that of a carpet python. Even wild water pythons are quite stocky. Feed them up in the off season and she'll reward you with large clutches.
