Scrub python

[YungRasputin]

scrubs are easily my all time favorite snake and i plan to eventually breed them - they’re just super energetic, insanely intelligent and curious - that is the primary difference is they’re high speed, not slow moving like BCC’s, burms, etc - v easy species imo if you have prior big snake experience, are dedicated and can match their energy

what i have found is a lot of people approach them wrong, they do well with a good old fashion “confident grab” - anytime i’ve tried to be cautious or attempted tap training with a hook they immediately square up whereas if i just go in and grab them, they’re fine - they primarily will coil up around your hands and arm and their head will shoot forward as they try to explore their immediate surroundings but give it a bit and they’ll settle down and just use you as a perch primarily

other than that, their husbandry/care is super simple, they’re exceptionally hardy, and enthusiastic eaters - i only wish we could get the Centralian localities in the states
