hehehe did ya expect that? LOL so anyways, here they are:
Now, I got Sebastian on 7/17, & gave him lots of time to settle in (tho I didn't follow the handling rule :O I held him same day. . . And he is awesome! He is so calm & sweet, I was actually pretty SHOCKED! LOL NOT that I thought he would be mean, but ya never know right??
So Sebastian is a ball python. . . Supposed to be a He . . Unknown age. . . He is 4' give or take an " . . . So I figure I'll take that he has been decently cared for because he seems to be apparently healthy . . No visual signs of any kind of "abuse" that I can tell, So I guess from owning No Feet, that Sebastian could be @ 4yrs or so old?? (Like I said, give a decent owning, not over or under-fed, etc). He has a good girth, but not obese. . . I didn't know if he would take a rat . I know lots of balls are mouse eaters. . . So tonight I got him his first rat. . . unfortunately had to be live;( (The pet store owner told me that a guy 4 yrs ago killed one because a customer wanted it dead & they had a huge lawsuit on "Cruelty to animals!! ":O He said cost them over $10000!! :{ So they don't do it at all now. . . He then said 3 yrs after that incident, they passed a law making it "ok" to do it, but they stay away from it) So, anyways, I had to get a live one.
I didn't know how Sebastian was going to react. My step-sis brought him up a tank (15gal for now . . .) & he is happily exploring it now. I put him in & got him settled & then put his rat in <CAREFULLY watching the little devil so he didn't do no bitting!> and the rat was smelling a bit & was Sebastian! Nab the rat is grabbed, constricted & gone within prob 7mins from me dropping him in there! Prob even less then that! :} I got him a SM rat. . . because I wasn't exactly sure at the time what size TO get! HA! Well, this was prob a good "sssssnack" but I am sure he could have at leat had a good sized Med.
Anyhow, is 4 yrs a good "guess"? I hate not being able to tell! LOL Also, 1x a month good feeding for his size? And should it be Med sizes? I tried to take pics of him eating tonight but the little digital I have now didn't work out to well
So next time, I'll take some w/the regular. Being this was a smaller size, should I feed him again in like 2 wks, or should I just wait till 9/10 & feed him a Med?
um . . . I think that is all for now
