ok a little history on me first, i have never owned a snake before but have always been attracted to them since i was a kid (in my 30's now) i have been doing a ton of research here and watching a load of videos on the tube. i grew up in a pet deprieved home so i was always scared of all types of pets but still found snakes cool and have only help a hugh burmese python (with the owner holding the head side of course lol) i was scared of dogs of all sizes as well and i ended up getting over my fears and took in a full grown pitbull when i got older and i became addicted to them and started breeding them, i dont have any dogs anymore and i finally wanna step into the snake pit sorda speak, i wanna get a royal python as a pet only not looking to breed, i never liked anything small ( i dont like holding new born babies, didnt like holding new born pups ect) so my question is can i buy an adult royal python as a new keeper to snakes? and also how do i keep the humity to where it needs to be using a screen top fish tank? and can i feed only dead/ freezon mice or rats? i'd hate to have to handle a live rat or mice as they creep me out lol but i'm not gonna let that stop me from getting a snake as i really have my mind set on getting it, and once my minds set thats it lol... thanks alot in advance to and answers or tips given
