Now that I’ve retired and move to just south of the Gold Coast, I’ve started thinking about having a reptile in the house and considering the Antaresia group. Fascinated by the different varieties and appearances. Started by reading the Complete Children’s Python. But I’m still anxious about requirements for housing and care. I think I would like to start with something a few months old but concerned about how to get a steady supply of the different mice to feed the young snake. Also, I’d love to see how someone experienced houses the pythons from say three months old to adult. I know that the plastic storage boxes are useful for housing hatchlings but not sure about how to get the right light and possibly UVB through for basking and their metabolism. Essentially, I am hoping to find someone not too far away that I can visit and learn and ask all the questions that might seem simple and natural to experienced keepers. Actually seeing a setup would help as well. Anyway, I’ll keep reading and researching but meeting and seeing would be so much better before I get a licence or purchase my first critter.
