My New Children's Python
Just pulled the trigger on this baby.
He's a sub-adult. Currently weighs in at 81 grams. I should get him in 4 to 6 weeks. So, so, so excited.

Such a beautiful little python! I'm so excited FOR you. What a great choice!
I'm sorta wondering what's with their gloves though? Is he a nippy one?

Those gloves look to be too thin for protection, but the seller did say he was prone to confusing fingers for food.

A little dual-duty for the gloves*... & kudos to the seller for giving you straight information on him.
*Yes, while his teeth can penetrate those gloves, they're also not so appetizing as actual warm fingers are- gloves can act as a repellent for many snakes too.

Re: My New Children's Python
When I decided on the Children's Python, I did so with the understanding that I would have to be a lot more careful than I was with my ball python.

I've only known the one I have, & she's not a biter at all, but I know that some of them are, just from reading other's accounts. I'm glad you're forewarned- I wouldn't blame you for using similar gloves for a while either, just to reinforce the idea that your hands are "unappealing". Anyway, most snakes learn with more handling- & most breeders have limited time to spend handling their snakes prior to selling, so hopefully yours won't be a slow-learner, once he gets more regular attention from you.

I got him from a breeder, but he is a hognose breeder. This was his pet. It's o.k. I fully expect to have to put in some work. I'm looking forward to it. He's the only snake I have, so I've got the time.

Attractive little rodent killer, congrats! Looks like he’s been well fed.
Stay in peace and not pieces.

Looks like we both have variations- mine's a granite phase (spotted python, that is- "close cousin"), but I like your hypo- sorta peachy color.
