Hey! I recently got my first reptile a beautiful little Carpet Python named Willis (Will-hiss), still trying to figure out if he is a Darwin or a Jungle, bought him through a pet shop and the breeder didn't provide much information, only saying that he is a Top End and a Morelia Spilota Variegata, but other people on this site and the pet store themselves believe it might be a jungle.
After the first few days he has finally calmed down and is now pretty relaxed with me handling him for 20-30 min a day.
He is a good feeder in his history before and I have fed him once since coming into my hands with no problems, he is 2 years old and around 3 foot, I've started him on fuzzie mice and just curious to others opinions, how often should I feed him? and should I get something bigger then a fuzzy right now? The pet shop recommended once a fortnight but, I've seen elsewhere weekly or every 10 days is also acceptable. I'd rather overfeed him a bit and ensure he grows healthy then stunt his growth a little bit to keep him slender.
