I got my new baby on Wednesday, and decided that since he had left me a nice present in the tub that he was brought in that I'd feed him last night. So I did, and he took a hopper mouse for me. (I do plan on switching to rats, but my store manager has a hard time selling rats for food. I'll find a different supplier soon.)
I asked my manager for a ball python, and he ordered me a 'python' and I got a carpet python. Different than what I was expecting, but as soon as I saw him I fell in love. I'll just enjoy my 'little' carpet.
He's about 2 feet long, and I don't know his weight since I didn't weigh him. I should have when I got him, but I didn't think about it at the time. I'll manage to weigh him next time.
Here's the 'little' guy! He hisses whenever I put my hands in his aquarium, but he hasn't struck at me yet.
