So I just acquired my python a little over 2 days ago now.
And I'm just here to discuss and learn things about them so I can keep him in good health.
He/She (can't tell yet the python is too young) is relaxing in a 20 gallon tank with a cozy hiding place on one side where the tank under-heater rests, with a good sized water bowl for drinking and soaking which sets closely to the Grapewood for climbing and exploring and such.
Now it sits at roughly 87-90 degrees Fahrenheit during the day in the hot area of the tank where the heater is and on the other side it stays at a constant, cool 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
I would dare say the set up is complete according to all the guides and all the advice I have gotten from other owners in the area I live.
He was last fed on Wednesday of this week.
Fed on live mice, and I was told every 4-5 days to feed him so its on the forth day and to no avail the snake does not touch the pinky mouse I placed in front of it.
I did it proper, heated the pinky up in warm water, placed the snake in a separate container with a heating pad underneath it and semi-moiste paper towels to keep it warm and content, yet when I placed the pinky in there it did not touch it, maybe its not hungry yet?
I heard that its almost impossible to change them from live to froze, and then I heard it is possible to get a snake that eats live to eat frozen.
I was just curious to see other python fans opinions and such about the topics at hand.
Thank you in advance for all your kind advice.
