Borneo Short-Tailed Python

[Will0W783]

Don't try to feed them for at least a week, even possibly two. Whenever you bring a new snake home, it will be stressed and need time to adjust to the new surroundings- sights, smells, textures of the cage and the presence of you. Borneo short-tails and bloods are not known for being tame snakes although they can be. However, especially if they were being kept together before, they are most likely stressed and nervous. Do NOT try to handle them for at least a week. Leave them alone so they can adjust. Then after a week, you can try to feed them if you want and they seem calmer. I would recommend that you purchase a very good strong snake hook because these snakes tend to be territorial and cage-aggressive. Also you will want to keep them on a substrate that holds moisture- they are a swamp species in the wild so they need high humidity or they will get respiratory infections. Buy yourself some nice cypress mulch and put several inches in each cage- the will burrow into it to feel secure. You also don't have a hide for either snake and your water bowls are WAY WAY too small. They need water bowls large enough to soak in. They will soak.. a lot. Do some research on this species. They are impressive and rewarding to keep but they will be nothing but headache if you do not correct your husbandry. Best of luck.
