Hi everyone. I'm new to the world of reptiles, but have finally fulfilled a life long dream. I am the proud owner of an olive python.
Her name is Perci, and she is 2 1/2 years old, about 7 ft long. Not sure how much she weighs, but she's a decent size. Her previous owner did a remarkable job with her. She is calm, great around my kids, has never bitten or refused a meal. I've had her nearly 3 weeks now, she has settled in well.
I have a couple of questions: how often should she shed? And how often do you recommend I should I feed her?
Her previous owner was feeding her about every 4 weeks. I don't want to starve her, but I don't want her to get too big too quickly.
And yes.........I am aware she is going to be a really big snake, and I am aware she is an odd choice for a first snake. But I am absolutely in love with the species, and even more in love with her.
Thanks Chantelle
