Not to derail the thread, but are you sure about this? Natal Multimammate Mouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Any information I can find on Millardia meltada it is the "soft-furred rat" not "African soft-furred rat." An article about Millardia meltada with a picture: http://la.rsmjournals.com/content/12/2/73.full.pdf

The Millardia look different than the African soft-furred rats I have. I'm pretty sure mine are Mastomys natalensis, which very well could be one natural food source of Python regius.

I'm no scientist, either one of us could have misinformation, but it might be worth considering.
