So here I am at Traders Village, (a big market in Dallas) and I came across this store selling exotic reptiles and the first thing I saw there was the Boas and Pythons. I've always wanted to own either one, so the Pyhtons were on sale and against my girlfriend's will I bought one, a baby one Im guessing 20 inch long give or take.

And there she is now chilling in her own Aquarium, with a water rock, a red light and Heat pad, a really cool cave with a branch so she can climb and keep herself busy exploring her new home. Digital Thermometer and Hygrometer are also set up so I can keep track of the aquarium's settings temperature and humidity. Everything is perfect except one thing, I dont really know if she was fed before I purchased her, and if she was a how long ago.

So today I decided to buy a lil' mice, a small one (white with red eyes) and try to feed her, but before I did that I decided to do some research on "feeding your Python", and I found out that you should wait a few weeks to let them settle in their NEW home and just leave them alone all that time so they'd get commfortable and feel safe and secure to go ahead and eat the poor lil' fuzzies.

What did you REALLY did to feed your first Ball?

What should I try to feed her the fuzzie?

Should I leave it alive and give it to her, or just kill it and leave it in there?

Any suggestions??



Thanks
