Pythons video site - help | advice

[svuaddict]

howdy to you! New to the reptile world myself, after all the work I have done with snakes and monitors and such lately, I am proud to say that I will be getting my first carpet in the next coming months! *hats off to me* :) I am very very excited. Onto the boring part, I myself found it hard to just get some knowledge off of videos so I asked my friend to help create one for me, I edit and he knows the info.

Now the help/input I would love to hear is from everyone on the forum. See what are some more key facts to go over and touch upon so people (like myself) can learn more from the visual aspect as well as reading upon on forums and other help sites. Below is the link to the video, he said we went over some stuff but with anything, there is always a million different things to go over. Looking forward to hearing from anyone :) and I will be posting my snake very very very soon :)

I like the video well done.
I also have just one point that you said the humidity should be between 70 - 80% when they will be fine and shed well between 40 - 60%
Waldo is a great name :)

Mine has always been around the 50 - 55% mark and I have never sprayed and never had a bad shed. Not sure what wintertime will do to the humidity (only had my JCP about 4 months) as I am sure my Mrs is going to want to put the central heating on at some point :)

don't worry about being anal!! LOL The more input the better that way when we make a follow up, it can have more accurate as well as other peoples preferences! Everyone having their own niche for it is what makes the world go around :) Im gonna use all the info I get from the tab to create a great follow up! Any more info works perfect. If anything sounds incorrect in any sort of way just let me know :) thanks

its gonna be so great the first time I have to say... "Wheres waldo..." lol
