Hi all,
So a couple of months ago I got my first python - a Stimson python and he's been terrific (he turned 1 year old yesterday). I've already got the urge to get another and I'm looking at a jungle python. From what I understand, statistically jungles are much more likely to be snappy / aggressive, although it comes down to the individual.
Given that I'm not too keen on the idea of a super snappy / aggressive python, would I be best trying to find a yearling jungle python? I'm hoping if I did this, a reliable breeder would be able to assess if they think it's too snappy or not.. The problem is, it doesn't seem to easy to find them.
I was thinking of waiting for a hatchling, but then it would be harder to judge its behaviour and whether it would possibly have the chance of taming a little with age.
Cheers,
Mark
