Monty Python
<-- this is monty
^ this is the condition of tank he was living in before I rehomed him from kijiji
The guy wasnt keeping track of temperature or humidity. He was using a gross old massive margarine container that didnt look like it had been washed like ever as a water bowl. The heat lamp wasn't on a thermostat nor was the heat pad that by the way takes over almost half the tank..
he told me that he had been feeding monty 1 med rat every two weeks. but he looks a little over weight to me he has snake cleavage near his spine and rolls in the corners when he bends so i might bring him down to a small rat or make feeding times be every three weeks. he told me that monty one went on a hunger strike for 8 months.. ive heard of 6 month, 8 seemed a little excessive.
I got monty and two tanks and everything in the pictures for 200$ apparently he had a 10 year old corn snake that one day decided to bit itself to death and he came back from work and found it like that... happy happy joy joy.
He also told me that had I not called he was going to set monty loose by the river in my town
I was super excited and redid his tank and he really seemed to like it.
sadly I have him in a separate tank right now just to be sure that he doesnt have mites
The corn snake dying and monty going into an extreme food strike seemed like red flags.
Also im not sure if this is part of his pattern or not but rather safe then sorry
Monty is his original name and it made me laugh so im gonna keep it
He will be 8 in November.
I'm pretty sure he is a Cinnamon Ball python. He doesnt mind being handled and is a pretty chill dude.
My favorite thing about him is he has a 8=8 marking on his one side.
This is my first snake ever. I've done a lot of research and I am always open to learning more.
am I right about his morph?
