    Giant pythons..

    I only have a ball python but I've always been curious how you guys keep those huge pythons! Like do you give them your whole basement? What do you feed them??

    Our big stuff is in 8 foot long wall units. But honestly we have two burms that could use larger soon. They eat mostly rabbits, though there have been times they've had piglets and lambs. Chad is the one who deals with the big guys, though he doesn't handle them alone. I am always around just in case something happens.

    I have a few Giant's in the making right now and I also have bp's in my collection. As far as husbandry and housing it's not much difference so far. I have 1.1 granite yellows and a purple albino tiger reticulated python. There only alittle over 4' so there very manageable. When they get to the 7' mark I will have someone with me when I try to handle them. Unfortunately, I plan on selling my granite yellows so I can focus on my clown project. I still want to keep the tic.
    I'll need a 8'x4' enclosure if I do keep the retic to adult hood.

    I use to keep Burm's. When I did I kept my big girls in custom enclosures that were 4ftx8ftx3ft. They really liked the great amount of space that the extra 2 ft in dept gave them. My girls were all over 15ft long. They would eat almost anything that they were offered from f/t piglets to ft Rabbits, and even the occasional rat if one of my other snakes didn't eat. The only reason that I don't have large snakes anymore it that I don't have a reliable person that can help me with them. Personally I don't feel comfortable handling a snake over 10ft without someone around in case of a problem.
