    Bredli Pythons
    First off - belated thanks to Colin Vestrand for the initial care info.
    I've had the pair of Bredli pythons now for approx 2 months.
    The female was a little snappy at first but has calmed down alot now.
    The male still likes to bite, but after 2 months of biting and hanging onto my fingers, every day, he seems to have got the message that this is getting him nowhere.
    Both snakes are good eaters, having 2 small mice per week each, I have read that I should get them onto rat pups, at what age should I be looking at changing their feeds.
    I have been scenting their mice by rubbing them with rats before feeding and this certainly hasn't slowed them down, when it comes to taking food.
    I will try and get some photos uploaded in the near future.
    Dare I say that they are quickly taking over top spot from my Ball Pythons

    Must. Have. Pics. No good teasing us without them. Don't make me call the pic police.

    Glad to hear the wee nippers are doing well for ya~


    Cheers,

    awesome, glad i could be of help.

    i would be willing to bet that you can switch them over any time with no problem, but i don't keep them so i'm not sure. jungles are usually the pickiest... if yours are eating f/t mice with gusto then they'll probably eat anything.

    If they are taking small mice right now then they should take rat pups easy, maybe even crawlers.
