This is my first time posting on this forum so I figured i'd make my first post an interesting one. I witnessed some very strange and interesting behavior with my African rock python on Valentine's Day. First off, my Afrock is about a year old and has a very good temperment, he's never struck at me but he has a voracious appetite. He just finished shedding the day before Valentine's Day so I figured it was time to feed him, I threw in a medium rat and went about my day, the next morning I went to check on him and the rat was cuddled up with him next to the heat lamp. I was pretty shocked and figured it was a coincidence it happened to be Valentine's day and "love was in the air" and blah blah blah. They hung out for about a good week, I even had to feed the damn rat and figured they were gonna be best pals from now on. Eventually about after a good week or so the snake got tired of the rat and ate him but I still think it makes for an interesting story as i've never heard of a situation such as this one. I guess everyone needs a friend once in a while.
