G'day reptile lovers!
I am a new member of the Aussie Pythons forum but a very long time reader! I have a 9 ft Scrubby named Rex, he is 4 years old and around 8kgs. We use him for reptile shows but mainly just to awe at in our dining room.
I would really like to grow him as big as possible, as quickly as possible but as safely and healthy as possible. He is currently on 2 xl rats every 7 days or after defecation. His tank is a massive 2 x 1.8 x .6. His temps are controlled around the 33 mark with a cool end of 28 and a nice big water bowl to occasionally sit in.
Is there anything you can see I could be doing better in any sense? Not just for maximum growth but for health in general?
As far as Amethystine pythons go he is very happy and only bitey either at feeding time or occasionally cage defensive. Great to handle once comfortable but never letting my guard down.
Cheers for any advice you legend's may have ?
