New Guy!!
What's up everybody. I acquired a new python from an ex-inlaw who couldn't care for him anymore.
Say Hello to Monty:
The tank is just temporary until I have the funds to build him a proper enclosure. I've had him for about a week now so am prolly gonna feed him this weekend and see how he does. He's pretty active and has adjusted really well.

Re: New Guy!!
Welcome to the forum. Gotta love it when the ex inlaws do that for you.

Re: New Guy!!
Thanks. His current setup is just temporary. I'm planning on building him a custome viv starting in September. Good thing about living in Florida is humidity isn't as big of a problem.

I was surprised when they called me. I thought they would have just given him back to the breeder they got him from.

Welcome to the forum! |
We were watching TV for a few minutes last night and he was wrapped around my arm. Just poked his head out from under my leg for the camera

Re: New Guy!!
First feeding attempt didn't go so well. That was Saturday night. Probably my fault since he had only been in his new tank for less than a week. I'll try again next weekend. Probably a newbie question, but any advice for thawing a frozen medium rat? I've never done it and just wanted to make sure I got it right. I tried with a fresh kill but since he didn't take it I ended up putting it in my secondary freezer.

How long did you leave it before freezing it?

30 - 45 minutes
He did go up to it and take a long look at it, but he went right back into his hide after that. Didn't touch it at all.
Edit - it wasn't still warm when I froze it, but by no means was it rotten at all. It was only out for a little bit. I may just get a new one anyways. The people that I picked him up from fed him live in a seperate tub away from his enclosure so I anticipated an issue with his first feeding.

I would make his next meal a live then just so you know for sure that he's gonna eat for you. I wouldn't take him out of his cage though. Once you're sure he is eating then you can work on switching to f/t.

That's what I was thinking. I change his water out every 2 days so I'll just not disturb him when I do that. May move him to a less active part of my house.
