RE: new murray darling

Not sure about the age.
I would be feeding it pinkie/fuzzy rats every 10 - 14 days.

RE: new murray darling

Hi and welcome to the site. Its good to see another person from Darwin joining. Not many of us!!

With feeding do what TX-III said about once a week and watch it grow at a rapid rate.

Who did you buy it from, did you buy it locally?.

RE: new murray darling

Hey Ryan ,
Normally when you buy a snake of a breeder they will give you basic info like ....age , what its been eating , how much ...etc etc .Maybe give them a ring back and ask what they have been feeding it so you atleast know where to start .

Very nice looking little critter though .
