Hello All,
I have been keeping skinks, dragons and amphibians for a few years now and finally ventured into pythons.
My first python is a hatchling Stimons, approx 30 cm long and 15mm thick.
I have had "Stim" for just over a month. Stim is housed in a 27 cm x 17cm exo terra enclosure specifically for hatchling pythons.
I feed Stim a pinkie twice a week. Have never had a problem with Stim's eating although i am yet to witness a shed.
Is that normal??
The enclosure is positioned on top of one of my 2bay's getting enough heat to sit on 32°c during the day and goes to 10°c overnight. Could that be a problem??
Starting to notice now that he is growing faster than expected and i am a little concerned that the current enclosure isn't suitable so when is the best time to put him in a bigger enclosure?? Can i put him in a 4ft melamine enclosure to suit my bay's now?? Or is it best to purchase a 2ft enclosure for now??
Also looking for advice/suggestions on enclosure set ups. I like to house all my reptiles in the most realistic environment possible so any pictures of your own setup would be cool.
Thanks for taking the time to read and i will appreciate all advice.
Edward.
