New Python

Me and my Bro are going to get a baby and 1yr old pythons
Forgot the name will have soon
Nice Kind of breed i will have pictures of them Soon mine is the baby his is the 1yr old
Commet and Tell me what you think
We Will have them in 2 week's

I'd suggest spending the next two weeks getting together the supplies you will need to take care of the animals. Check out the care sheets and try and get yourself 2 tanks set up of proper dimensions, and get your temps and humidity levels right. Oh and you have to monitor them both for mites. And the first two weeks of you owning them you should probably avoid handling them. I take the first day to handle them, take pictures, and generally enjoy them, then I spend the next to weeks forgetting they're in their tanks and simply monitoring their water, humidity and temps.

The temptation to take them out and handle them is great, but if you want to keep them around and have them eat well for you and be good animals in general, you really need to leave them alone at first. I just got a new snake 3 weeks ago and he refused to eat the second week (when I start offering food) but this week he gobbled the hoppers down and in 2 more feedings I'll get to handle him finally. God getting new snakes is so aggravating on one level and exciting on so many others.

Good luck, and may they eat well for you :gj:

Well said! Make sure you have the tanks all set up with proper temps for a couple days before getting the snakes!
