This huge (16lb) blood python has been listed on the local group forever now. It might just feel like forever because a blood python is what made me want snakes but a semi-tame, already huge python.... I have raised a rosy boa and a dekay's brown snake (like a small garter snake) so far with a bullsnake shipping (collecting in Iowa is illegal) tomorrow. I've done all natural enclosures so far with them steadily heading toward bioactive as I work on cultures and will be able to order more in spring but what the heck could I set up 16lbs of snake in? I'd have to build an enclosure even if I keep it simple like a bin cage that can be sterilized, wouldn't I? How big? I should go google that. I should also google heat, humidity, do they need to soak, and one hell of a better snake stick than what I'm planning right now.
Just point me in the direction of the logistics of keeping something that big.... This is one I waver on if any amount of research will prepare me to try keeping it at this moment so I am not going in without pre- instead of post- research and some serious thought. Also my husband might divorce me over something that can eat the cat.
Note- no amount of saying "do not get that" has an impact on me. Give me the facts of keeping it and I will decide to go ahead or not. Just saying don't usually ends up with me pissing people off despite not meaning to. I simply like to make my own informed decisions and there's good odds in the end I would agree but I will argue it to the death and keep asking questions right up until I make that decision.
