Pictures Of Monty Python

[crazy4reptiles88]

I got Monty Python 3 days ago!! About a week ago I went to our local petstore to pick up a box of stuff I was selling but the store owner wanted me to pick it up untill she moved her store to another location and so I did and I came home and set the box in my room not thinking about putting the stuff away right away!! Well apparently she had a baby ball python excape and he crawled in the box and stayed in there for a whole week and 3 days ago I walked in my room and found a ball python slithering across the floor and so I knew right away it was nicole's snake from the petstore and so I called her to tell her and realized I couldn't get ahold of her so we ran down in town which is 10 mins away to the petstore and I told her and I said I don't mind feeding him so she sent me home with a mouse and she said if I wanted him that I could pay $20 so I did and thats how I got him and also my mom hates snakes so I had to convense her for me to buy him and thats my christmas present to me for her letting me buy him!!

For the size Monty is could I feed him rat fuzzies? Could I feed him something bigger than a mouse so he will grow? I am new to snakes and this is my first snake and yes I have researched before getting a snake!! Just had this question? Monty is 19 inches and was born feb. 2008 his girth is about 2 inches around!! Thanks, Melissa

generally u want the food to be about the same size round as the snake himself. or at least thats the general rule i follow. so if its no bigger round than he is. you should be able to get away with it

Nice! I think its ok to feed him adult mice if he is willing to take it...And rat fuzzies will def b ok...

i would go with hoppers, or rat pups... either would be good... congrats on the pickup, very nice snake
