Hi everyone,
Would like to introduce myself, have been browsing the site for a few months and have just signed up.
I am a 24 year old female, first time snake owner with a 11 month old diamond python named Malya ( who is currently 'helping' me type). We (my partner and I) bought her when she was about 6 months old and took her home 5 weeks later. We have never owned a reptile before and were looking at getting a python for about a year before we bought Malya. We weren't sure what type of python we wanted, so we shopped around, handled many snakes until we fell in love with Malya.
She has a great temperment, although we're still getting used to each other, she has never gone to strike us. We keep her in a cage which is 120x95x66, very large for her now, but we feel that it will give her ample space when she grows bigger.
Would love to hear from any other diamond python owners with any tips or suggestions for us as we are constantly learning!
