albino tiger python (advice please)

[Deborah01]

Hi all
Being new too keeping snakes i got my first bp in November 2010 and its going really good she feeds well and is growing so fast. My husband has bought me a tiger albino which we pick up on sunday. My biggest question is is the husbandry the same as my bp and is there anything i need to do different for the new snake any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all in advance

Erm... what kind of python? It could be an albino tiger ball python (name of the pattern) or it could be an albino tiger retic... I've never heard of a tiger python though.

Can you post a picture of your new snake?

Seeing that you are from Europe. Its probably a Burmese python.
Thats the name they go under in scandinavia at least.
I dont have anny experiance whit burms, all i can tell you that size wise they are
nothing like a BP. They get Huge.

If it is a burmese python (python molurus bivittatus) as Morbo says then the temps and humidity are going to be the same as a ball. The caging, however, will obviously have to be bigger as it ages and it will have to be very strong and escape-proof.
