I picked up this unsexed Children's python last night ($25) from a photographer. From what I was told, the photographer is a reptile enthusiast and wanted a snake for a photo shoot, this was 3-4 years ago if I understood correctly. The prior owner just never came back or answered calls to pick up the snake. From the photos I was shown, it was an adult at the time it was acquired for the photos. I'm going to guess at least 5 years old at this point, but there is just know way to know.
"He" is very curious and chilled out from the limited holding I did prior to purchase. Since my upstairs is too hot to quarantine now, this guys is quarantined in my kitchen. Not ideal, but I'm not inclined to risk the rest of my collection because I don't have another free room. He has settled into a quarantine cage very well. No signs of mites or illness. I don't plan to handle much as I get him feeding. He's already on f/t per the information I was provided. We will see in a few days.
