My largest Malaysians Short-tailed Python (Python brongersmai) This girl is an absolute sweetheart, but you have to watch her feeding response. She once got me on the thumb and it felt like she was going to pull all the meat of the bone. Never once have I seen her go for something like that and I was just changing the waterbowl. Always a good wake up call when they get you. Luckily not something venomous. It is always best practice to let a snake know it is you so as to avoid a feeding response.

Part 2: Taking eggs from Big Girl Malaysian Short-tailed Python AKA Blood Python (Python brongersmai). She was amazingly calm and such a pleasure. The long tongue flicks show me she is not in a defensive mind set. If you just see the forkes of the tongue static in the mouth, then you know you in trouble. Then obviously hissing and heavy shrugging are more obvious. So we will see if we can bring them all to term but they not normally an issue. Basic mix of perlite and vermiculite at 50/50 at 31.5
