Burmese python rescue help.
I understand they must be respected, i understand the requirements, and i understand the income they require (just a few needs) I've done my research, I've read so much information. I've been sitting in-front of my computer for almost 16 hours straight now. This snake i rescued is about 9 ft and seems to be a nice healthy weight. but has mites and an RI infection. He is scheduled for a vet visit tomorrow morning. However my concern is the housing i currently have him in. I was on the spot to take him or leave him there to suffer and more than likely die, so i obviously took him and i IMMEDIATELY took him to my home and put him in the biggest enclosure i own. (its 5 feet long and 2 feet wide. Not sure on height but seems about medium. is this okay for him for the time being? i needed to spend the rest of this months check on his other things he requires. heat mat, rheostat, tank thermometer and etc etc. So i wont be able to get him a cage for about 2-3 weeks :[ but either way the tank i have him in now is FAR larger than the previous thunder:cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: that mistreated this animal. he was in like a 3 x 2 x 2!!!!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE. In the end i know i can take care and provide for this magnificent being as I've done research and know what has to be done, my question is how long can i keep him in this 5 long 2 wide 3 high enclosure? Hes also quite aggressive (which is understandable due to the previous living conditions and mistreatment) but im also very willing to take a few bites.

Your cage will be fine for a while my 7 foot burm is in 4x1.5x1.5 right now. Her next cage will be a 8 footer in about 6 months to a year.... My main focus would be to get him happy and healthy... I'm betting he will calm down when he gets back to healthy and some rabbit in him.. Thanks for doing what you are. Keep up the good work.
