Hi Guys,
Totally new to this and i could really do with a bit of info/advice, about 2 weeks ago i started having a little visitor sitting on my ensuite shower mat,so i put him back in the garden and every few nights he'd be there again which is on my top floor 3 storeys up so i'd put him out again and he'd be back a few days later..wha i'd like to know is what type of python is he i have a 95% feeling he is a spotted python?? and we have plenty around this way (which is in the Whitsundays-North Qld) i have never thought about having a snake but ive come attached to this little bugger and it feels like he picked me and it is meant to be.so i sent away for my permit the other day and drove for 5hrs today to pick up some heat mats a good size home and a reptile light and pinkies..Now what i'd also like to know because the girls in the petshop arent experienced with snakes is how many pinkies should i feed him a week can i give him 1 and then maybe in a few nights another one so hes not hunting everynight and becoming dissapointed when theres nothing there..and how long before i can handle him after he has fed hours?days? its around 27degrees celcius here most days and the humidity is around 75% at the moment does this mean i dont need to run the floor heater?? ive got heaps of other questions but dont want to bore you guys just yet.will try to send a photo of the little bugger now thankyou.
