Does anyone here keep Olive Pythons?

During tonight's handling session she actually calmed down and coiled around my arm for a bit. It was really nice. I think she's going to turn our to be a great handling snake.

Also she pooped so my (likely irrational) worry that it had been too long (it had only been 11 days) has been relieved.

The materials to build a shelf and RHP skirt should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday. I'll try and get some pictures then while I have the doors off. I did snap one picture of her tonight while handling, I'll try and figure out how to upload it.

I would be very careful where you source your substrate from.

Raw Peat is good for keeping moisture but it is typically offered at gardening centers and landscaping businesses.

You will get a lot of extra wildlife if you are not careful.

Absolutely. Currently using Viagrow Coco Chips. When I received then I baked the amount I used for a half hour at 250 degrees. I won't use anything that might introduce unwanted things into the enclosure.
