We go the python? How big is it?

willowbean July 23 2007, 21:05:08 UTC

ummm probably between 3 and 4 feet long. Not too big. His tank however is huge. 70 gallons. It's over on the desk

Woah. That's probably bigger than he needs, but that's cool.

He's a "he"?

willowbean July 23 2007, 21:43:41 UTC

Yeah, it's bigger than is necessary but it'll help with keeping two distinct temperature areas.

So far as I know he's a he. We could have him checked, but I'm not too worried about it. If I had another to compare him to I could make an educated guess, since male snakes tend to be smaller than female snakes.

Aww! Ball pythons can be very, very sweet.

I'm sure you'll find the perfect name for him when you've spent some time together. :)

He is so very sweet. He's acclimating really well. I was able to take him out a little while ago and he took just a minute to be roaming around on my arms sniffing things.

That's excellent! :D

Ooh I love ball pythons. I might get one later, since I've become allergic to furry animals like my rats :(( I still have a tank that I used to keep my lizards in. It's about 4 by 2 feet, so I don't know if it will be big enough for an adult though. My only problem is with feeding it mice/rats... so I haven't decided for sure yet :/
