How to Raise a Golden Python

2022-09-21

The golden python is regarded as a "god" by the Indians in its place of origin. In fact, it is a very rare mutant species. The adult body length can reach 7 fans, and the whole body color is very dazzling.

The golden python cannot survive smoothly in the wild. It is a disease in itself. It lacks melanin in the body, and is susceptible to various diseases due to its low immunity. It loses its original protective color function and cannot avoid natural enemies. All individuals are artificially reared.

Morphological characteristics of the golden python

At present, the large number of golden pythons is not within the scope of protection. The appearance of this snake is very beautiful at night. However, according to regulations, privately-raised pet golden pythons must apply for a breeding license to the wildlife authority and apply for the introduction of provenance procedures. If neither is complete, it's illegal breeding. Golden pythons are huge, with adults usually 5-6 meters in length and up to 7 meters in height. Females are larger than males. The whole body is golden yellow, with white irregular lines, smooth scales, large scales on the top of the head, and heat sensitivity in the cheek sockets, which are the characteristics of the Burmese python.

Golden python breeding environment

Generally speaking, golden pythons are very docile, but can sometimes bite. There are many reports of golden pythons stalking people. Therefore, in order to raise this snake well, it is best to tame it from an early age. So what are the requirements of the golden python in the artificial breeding environment?

Golden pythons like high temperature environments and have nothing to do and need to soak in water. However, although golden pythons are gentle, they are not suitable for keeping at home, because since it is called a python, its size is not small and can easily reach five meters in length. Therefore, it is recommended that ordinary families think twice before raising a golden python. The following equipment is required for raising a golden python.

1. Rearing container - choose a container that can effectively prevent snakes from escaping, is easy to sterilize, has no sharp protrusions, and is ventilated and insulated.

2. Heating pads - Golden pythons have requirements for room temperature, and they can grow healthily only if they are kept between 26 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius, so heating pads are very important.

3. Basin - Golden pythons generally shed their skin every 3 to 6 weeks. If there is old skin that has not shed and clean, you need to put it in a basin and "bath" with warm water at 30 degrees Celsius.

Golden python breeding knowledge

The golden python grows faster, and many people are frightened by his appearance, because its appearance is a bit scary, but its personality is actually very gentle. As the golden python grows, so does the cost of keeping it. It is estimated that the diet alone is enough for the owner to have a headache, but its value is the same as its weight, which has doubled several times.

While many people think pythons are scary, they can make great pets too, as long as they are kept clean enough, fed on time, and understood about their habits. Golden pythons generally drink only water, and each meal usually takes 1 to 2 weeks to digest.

The eating process of the golden python seems a bit cruel. Usually, after putting the mouse in, the golden python will roll it up with its body and wrap it tightly until the bones of the mouse are tangled together and become a mass of meat, which starts to enjoy slowly. Sometimes the rat that it swallows raw will cry twice in its body. Golden pythons mainly feed on live mammals such as mice and rabbits, so breeders should consider whether they can accept this bloody and cruel food chain before preparing to raise golden pythons.
