Got a blood python basically dropped off at my doorstep today from a friend of a friend. He is a little bit skinny I think as he is a little bit triangular shape. He has a pretty wicked case of mites. He was also in a tub that I think is to small for him, he weighs about 10 pounds and the tub is about 3 feet by 1.5 feet by 6 inches.
I set him up with some newspaper, a nice big water bowl, temps 85 warm 78 cold, do not have a hide big enough for him but will by tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. Humidity is hovering around 60%. What size tub is best for them? I know most people like a 4 x 2 cage and I will probably build one this summer but until then will he be ok in this tub or should I get a larger one? Also can anybody tell me what species he is? I am pretty terrible at telling them apart.
