New snake, water python
She has arrived safe and sound. My new female water python. Got her Saturday and put her in quarantine. She ate Sunday night. I pulled her out to clean her tub so I snapped a quick pic. She was totally chill until the big monster started hovering over her taking pics. She struck once at that point, but stopped as soon as I gave her space to move about. I'm very excited to have one of these beautiful animals! Hopefully she adjusts in due time and I'll get some more pictures.

Re: New snake, water python
Liasis Fusucs? I've got a 5 year old male if you're interested. Gorgeous species but I can't find a female.

Re: New snake, water python
Man now I want one. Beautiful little python you've got. Does it seem to be active or shy so far? Looks so similar to olives.

Re: New snake, water python
Wow, that's a gorgeous animal. I've never heard of a water python until today. Are they easy to come by? What's their upkeep like? Congrats on the beautiful new addition.

Re: New snake, water python
What a beautiful little snake. I love the iridescence of their skin when they reach adulthood.

Re: New snake, water python
Yes it's a liasis fuscus. It's a very cool snake. Not extremely active so far, but once I brought her out she was crawling around pretty calmly. Idk how rare they are but I don't see them much, and hardly ever for sale. As a species they're known to be bitey, but she has been very calm other than when I was hovering over her with my phone. The biggest thing I notice is how different the scales feel compared to other snakes. Very "soft". As far as there requirements, everything I know is to keep the enclosure humid, over 70%. Heat, upper 80's, low upper 70's. Millertime if you think I'm doing something wrong let me know. I only have the Internet to go off and I don't trust that info completely.

Re: New snake, water python
I keep mine like I keep my retics, hot and humid. My male isn't too bad but he definitely has a short tolerance for handling. 5-10 minutes tops before he starts lining up my face. He's got a crazy feed response, rivals the retics. I don't know if I've ever seen others for sale, maybe one or two. I've got mine for sale right now actually, just not actively pursuing it as I really like him but if someone is really interested I would let him go.

I've already seen the feed response. The day after I got her I offered her a rat and she lunged out of her hide so hard she knocked it over. Hands down the craziest feed response of any juvenile snake I've had. Idk about breeding yet. I would like to but until my work life slows down I'm only comfortable with what my fiance can handle when I'm nnot home. I'venever bred myself, so i wouldn't try to walk her through anything I'm not even sure about myself. The guy I bought her from said her mother is very well behaved and is used for educational purposes so hopefully she gets the same temperament.
