    Bredli Pythons

    First off - belated thanks to Colin Vestrand for the initial care info.
    I've had the pair of Bredli pythons now for approx 2 months.
    The female was a little snappy at first but has calmed down alot now.
    The male still likes to bite, but after 2 months of biting and hanging onto my fingers, every day, he seems to have got the message that this is getting him nowhere.
    Both snakes are good eaters, having 2 small mice per week each, I have read that I should get them onto rat pups, at what age should I be looking at changing their feeds.
    I have been scenting their mice by rubbing them with rats before feeding and this certainly hasn't slowed them down, when it comes to taking food.
    I will try and get some photos uploaded in the near future.
    Dare I say that they are quickly taking over top spot from my Ball Pythons

    awesome, glad i could be of help.

    i would be willing to bet that you can switch them over any time with no problem, but i don't keep them so i'm not sure. jungles are usually the pickiest... if yours are eating f/t mice with gusto then they'll probably eat anything.

    If they are taking small mice right now then they should take rat pups easy, maybe even crawlers.
