Weren't you the ones who recently got back into snakes? Are you ready to handle a large snake?

I have had snakes for 15 years... But don't have as many anymore
And I have had huge pythons in the past.... But do I really want to devote the space and and time to a giant? Also I hear their temperment is not that swell? He is only 3ft long right now... Its a 16 year old kiddo who has him and he says he is nice... But I don't know if he is keeping him properly either...

Ahh gotcha! Didn't know of your experience and I apologize for that. You are a few days late because we had a guy here(who said he was not going to be able to visit the forum anymore for personal reasons) who cared for lots of large snakes and I think rocks were one of his things.

Im new to snakes and this site but i wouldnt take on the snake if you are having doubts, i googled them and they are big snakes, it may be difficult to get rid of it if you decide you cant take care of it, just speaking from some of my friends mistakes, and the animal suffers in the end.

No need for apoligy... If you can't learn more than experience does not matter lots of things change over the years... And I haven't had Rock Pythons before... only a pair of burmese for about 5 years... But they were extremly nice... I did school confrences with them and they were wonderful with all the kids!!!
To bad I missed the Giants guy...
