First time owner, with basic experience from friends previous pets. I currently have two pastel (66% possible het for clown) baby ball pythons, one male one female. I have no intentions to breed it just ended up like this. I've had them for a week today, my female feeds readily on rat pups, but my male has yet to eat even though it's been about 2.5 weeks since his last feeding. He has shown intent to go for fingers and gave me a short warning that he intended to eat my wrist the first day I got him, so I know he's hungry but being stubborn. Theyre both roughly about 90 grams right now.
I'm looking to get more snakes sometime in the near future. Leopard gecko's as well. I also breed my own rats and mice (both pets and feeders) and have a zoo of other animals which consist of two dogs, two cats, about two dozen axolotls and fish. I've found myself weaning away from the aquarium hobby and finding more interest in reptiles. Anyway I'm not but not super new to this, so please be kind! Nice to meet everyone!
