Buffy the African Rock Python (progression thread)

[amtz.zero]

Hello everyone. I recently got back into the hobby and purchased a 2021 female African Rock Python. (No it's not my first giant snake). Here I will post occasional updates so anyone who enjoys this species can watch her grow. I've also made an IG page for her so follow it!!

IG page is @buffy_the_rock_python I'm gonna try to be active on it and post often.

This is from the day I got her:


I fed her and fed her and then she went into shed:

After:










Gorgeous isn't she???

She's a beauty!

Thank you, I think so too. She has very bright yellows and a slight iridescence when she's in sunlight.

So small and cute. But we all know that won't be for long.

Gorgeous baby regardless, look forward to seeing her growth.

She's small but I offered her a small rat today (not a rat pup, a small rat) and boom! She pounded it. She's nice and full now with a big lump in her belly. Just sucks that now I can't handle her for a couple of days.

Well, you "could" but it would be self-punishing.

How is her attitude?

How is her attitude?

She has never even struck at me. Sometimes she's a little hissy but I never hesitate and just reach into her cage to grab her and she quiets down right away. Outside of her cage she is 100% cool. I've been touching her head every time I handle her to get her used to it and she definitely not head shy because of it. Super tame. I couldn't ask for a calmer snake.
