Taking frozen/thawed medium rat every 14 days. One seasonal refusal last winter, back on schedule since.
Keeping a Reticulated Python
The longest snake on earth, and the most intelligent-feeling animal in the hobby — retics recognize routine, track you across a room, and problem-solve. Dwarf and super-dwarf localities keep adult size manageable. This is not a first snake. It may not be a fifth.
