Re: Hello, seeking advice on new python
If that's an Aru, it's a "type 2" phase. Most captive Arus have a more muted pattern. It could be a kinghornii; in which case, prepare for a giant. Then again it could be from a poorly discribed locale.
You're lucky: I've had my Aru about two years now, and he stills strikes for the face. If you haven't had any trouble than you should be alright, but wear some eye protection when handling to be safe.
Mine rarely visits his cage floor, but if you provide perches make sure they're modular. Up the humidity near sheds, and you'll usually get a clean slough. Be carefull not to overfeed if you ever plan to breed, as obesity seems to hinder fertility.
Most importantly, watch the head! Even if she never bites, scrubs are fast and long and slender. Mine's great at getting tangled around chairs and disappearing into couches.
