They retain waste FAR longer than others..which worries many..
Their couch potatos or lap snakes..
If captive hatched they feed great and present no problems..
If handled regulary and proper their puddy cats..
Their easy as pie once a keeper knows the requirements..
Never been to Manila so can't tell ya what you'd have to address for its environment..
Ei. Thanks for the quick reply.

1) waste rentention ; referring to stools and urates here? how often do you have to "put up" with this and how? (whoa...I didn't see that in the research I've done...lol).

2) manila; except for my brothers and sisters living up north (like Baguio or Tagaytay), our "room temperature" (non AC'ed) is perfect for retics (temp/humidity wise). If I set up the cage of my future curtus like say...the way I set up the cage of my retics, will it be prudent to mist/provide a damp hide or something?

3) handling; so....I guess this means I can "relax a bit" as compared to working with retics and afrocks? This doesn't mean I'll go ahead and assume nothing...but was just wondering if I can expect behavior similar to retics/afrocks when dealing with python curtus

Thanks again
