Hey everyone,
Well over the past few weeks I have been carefully considering committing myself to my first python and after some thought have made the decision to go ahead.
My first step was to fire up the internet connection and gather as much information as possible and now after 3 evenings of reading web sites and studying material I can honestly say I'm WAY more confused now than when I started!
I have just today submitted my Licence application form to Parks and Wildlife so have a few days wait for that to be completed and thought I would take that time to learn all I can and pick your brains so to speak. So on with the questions.
I am looking for a python that wont grow much bigger than between 120 -150cm long, nothing to huge and intimidating. Can you suggest which python would be right for me based on this? and if possible where I might find one?
I have a small dog (a Shih Tzu X Maltese), He has grown up surrounded by my pet rats (yes they can be more than food ), Ferrets and Cockatoo and has never attacked or harassed any of them so I'm fairly sure that he will be OK with the new arrival but just to be sure I was wondering if anyone had had any 'bad experiences' with snakes and dogs. I'm not to worried about this as it's not hard to keep them separated (the bird, rat, and ferret are no longer around)
Finally is there anyone in the sydney area who builds enclosures? or perhaps has a second hand one that they are looking to sell?
Well thats about it I guess, Thanks for all the great information I have picked up from this site and thanks in advance for any help you can give me now.
