Nagini is a trip. If she was allowed she would probablly eat all day every day. They eat every two weeks Nagini a small rat and Kreature 4 mice. When the two weeks is up they are just searching for their next meal.

On a large exo-terra hide, for size comparison. Just shed, her colours are beautiful! I'm glad the little pale heart on her head has stayed so far, too.
He was the coolest snake. Unfortunately, he learned to escape from his tank and caught some sort of infection from crawling around the house. I wouldn't mind getting another snake someday, but would want a sturdy, custom-built tank.
The ball python (Python regius), also called royal python, is a python species native to West and Central Africa, where it lives in grasslands and shrublands. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List because of its wide distribution. It is threatened by hunting for its meat and for the international pet trade. This nonvenomous constrictor is the smallest of the African pythons, growing to a maximum length of 182 cm (72 in). The name 'ball python' refers to its tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened
