African Rock Python.

myklx Nov 06, 2006 08:02 PM

I have a young Rock Python, who is almost 3 feet long. I have had him for close to 3 months and since then, he has grown about a foot or so. I feed him every 5-6 days. Went from one mouse to two per feeding in that time. I know they grow fast, but how fast? Is mine on a good feeding schedule and is he growning normally? Also, is there a sie difference between male and females? WHat is the typical captive size?
I would like to see pix and hear stories of other people who own/owned Rocks.
Mine is dog tame, never struck or showed aggression and seems to enjoy being out. They seem to be a bit misunderstood, or I have an oddball.

Face strikers Actually, 2-3 mice a week for a African rock at that size, or a s-m sized rat. They grow FAST.
