    Children’s python looks bloated

    I fed my 19yo children’s python a small rat two nights ago, she usually hides away to digest. This time however, she has stayed curled up in the open. I’m not sure if I’m imagining it because she’s more in view, however I think the bulge looks like it’s gotten bigger? The bulge looks bloated and...

    Does Feeding children’s Python hatchlings have to wait until after first shed

    I think it’s just my paranoia but I really want to get some food into these guys as soon as possible cause I feel like they’re starving. Is there a particular reason they need to shed first?

    I’ve had my marbled children’s Python since March (it’s now nearly July) - she ate 2 days after bringing her home from the breeder, and again a week or so later. We tried to her feed again another week later, she refused but then shed. Since then she has refused every feed. It’s been nearly 12...

I keep the temp at about 28-29°C with a heat mat at about 31°C throughout the day and drop it too about 24-26°C at night. The humidity was at 48% today but usually sits up...

    Childrens pythons dont need humidity?

    I read everywhere that they do need humidity, some say 50%, some 20-80%, and another 60-70%. Then I read on FB that no one in Australia worries about humidity for their childrens pythons and no one they know worries about it 🙃 so what’s the truth?

    Do I need to worry about ambient temps with a heat matt?

    I have a heat mat that’s getting to around 30° but the ambient temp is quite low, about 17°, and lower in the room. She has been out and about but we’ve also been running the heater on 20°, without it it gets very cold during the day and night, around 5° in the room. She’s a 4m old childrens...
