The python that we have is actually my son's but we share in the responsibility of taking care of it. We have had it since mid may this year. We started out with a tall 30 gal. tank. Maybe what you could do with your 55 gal. tank to make it seem smaller for now, is get some wood and make a wall to make it smaller about in the middle, divide it in half. use silicon on the edges to seal it in place. That way you make a 55 gal. maybe into a 30 or so. Our snake loves to be held. When it was summer we would take him out to the yard and let him explore. When we first got him we fed him live pinky rats. The snake was about 16 in. long the. He now eats up to 4 wk old live rats. good luck.
