Noob JCP questions ;)

[neurotic88]

Hi everyone,

I am brand new to this forum, and I have some questions about owning a JCP.

I have a corn and a western hoggie currently, though if I add a JCP I might scale it down to just keeping the 1 JCP.

I have a few questions about them, hoping you guys can help me with.

1:what is the largest feeder that an adult JCP will require?, does it move past the rodent class?

2:I was warned to start small with my corns tank, and then upgrade as they are scared of open spaces, is this also true with JCP, or can I start out in a 60 gallon etc?

3: I know JCP are constrictors but do they have fangs, any venom at all?

I think i find myself just a touch intimidated by this snake, they are so beautiful but also a bit scary looking,and their size makes it a bit worse lol.

That being said, would an adult bite send someone to the hospital? what can one expect?

I've been bitten by my corn and hoggie before, it's no problem, but they are half the size of a JCP or smaller.


Any information is greatly appreciated!

Thank you all
