didn't go so well
hi
some of you may remember (it was a long time ago) i had some issues with my pet carpet python, Cyril, who i have had for nearly 3 years now. Cyril was aggressive and at first, this was no problem, because he was so small and his bites didn't hurt, and i got to the stage where i could handle him without any trouble. but about this time last year he started becoming aggressive again and the more i handled him the worse he got, so i left him and now i can't even get him out of his tank. i was scared to put my hand in his tank to change his water because he'd lash out at me and his bites hurt now, he still won't eat dead mice, no matter what i try and i definitely can't handle him, which i'd really like to do. i really feel like i'm not giving him the best he deserves like i could when he was more placid, so i'm giving him to a friend who has some experience with aggressive snakes and i think he'll be much happier.
i'm considering getting another snake with a better temperament, one i can actually take care of that won't try to eat me when i change his water. what would be the best kind to get, one with a good temperament and that gets to a reasonable size (not too big, and not too small) and most importantly, a breed legal in New South Wales, Australia. i was thinking a black headed python after i did a week of work experience at the zoo and they got me to care for them on one of the days, but can they be kept as pets? if not, perhaps a diamond python, my cosin has one, and it seems like a nice breed.
