Where should I get my first snake from
What type of accomadation is the best suited
How much would you expect to pay for your snake
Looking forward to all the advise you ugys can give me. |

OOOoo, just near Santa Pod :) I love that place :)
In my adult pair the female is a lot bigger then the male of the same age, and in my younger pair, the male is the biggest. So make of that what you will. I do believe in general the female is the biggest tho. Temperament, I dont think theres any difference between them, mostly they are shy retiring pets, until feeding time.
Mine still scare me when they strike at the rat lol. |

Hi and welcome - this link has a lot of info -
http://www.theroyalpython.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5183
Females are reputed to grow bigger than males - but in my experience this isn't always the case. I think temperament depends on the snake and how it's handled.
Breeders are cheaper than shops as a rule - and there will be lot of hatchlings about in the next few months. However, sources and prices will always depend on where you live - and there ARE good shops about, with reasonable prices. If in doubt - ask on here - a member may know of shop or supplier and be able to advise.
Hope this helps. |
