Hi to all
Fluffy is my newest snake, he is a royal python about 5 years old. got him from someone who could not take care of him. he is a very sweet snake, I feed him live prey ONLY. I do not think its right to hinder a snakes natural instincts.
I breed all my mice at home to insure they are healthy and fat.
I have never had a problem with feeding him. when I first got him( 5 months ago) he was very skinny and I don't believe he ever had a heat source.
My first snake was a mexican king snake, all black and perfect. had to get rid of him do to the landlords ): He was very easy to take care of.
This is my first python and the only snake I have left. I have many questions to ask, and have had a hard time getting the right answers. I'm sure as time goes on I will have many more and am hoping this Forum will give me the answers I need.

Hiya Chick and welcome.
