I have a bad habit and it is called surfing craigslist. Well I saw an add posted for a jungle carpet female for $50 so I shot them an email. Now I am a ball python girl and have not had much experience in anything other rat snakes, corns and balls, but I have always loved the way carpets looked. So I decided to meet them and take a look at her. I was very surprised to say she has beautiful color. Not as bright as some I have seen online but she is not faded. The first day I got her she was very nippy. She struck at everything and I let her tag me until she figured out that it was not going to get her anywhere. To be honest the bites didn't hurt a bit. I offered her food shortly after I got her just to see if she would eat. She slammed the rat I put in with her. I then left her alone for almost a week and have just started handling her again. Yesterday she only bit me twice and today she didn't bite me once
I think we are making progress. Now I have a few questions
1. I have her in a shoebox at the same temps as my balls, should I give her lower/higher temps?
2. What humidity should I give her. I have read everything from 30% to 75%.
3. How often should I feed her. She is about 2 feet long. They didn't have an age for her.
4. Dose she need a water bowel big enough for her to get all the way in?
5. She is eating rats should I give her one big meal or several small items?
6. How do I tell if they sexed her correctly?
I am sure I will have more questions but that is it for right now. I will post photos this weekend. Thanks
