Greetings all, my wife and myself are new to the boards here and happy to have found it! Just a bevy of great info being shared here - hats off to all.
Just wanted to introduce the pythons in our house Vasuki (Ball) and Neph (African Rock).
Both very social and mellow snakes, great temperment, healthy eaters and avid climbers. Though we've not sexed them yet we believe they are both female, but regardless they are a joyful addition to our zoo of a family.
Though I haven't yet been able to get a good in-focus pic of it because she is so active and curious and thus almost constantly in motion we've noticed Neph has what appears to be a black shiny marking slightly raised on her nose.
She seems in perfect health otherwise - fast clean shed last week followed by gulping down a mouse the following day, and today took another mouse. Could this be a healing wound? Signs of a resp infection? As soon as I can con her into holding still long enough to get a focused shot I'll post it and open a new thread.
At any rate thanks for having us and we look forward to sharing.
