Python regius: a breed of
python that will curl up tightly when threatened. Commonly about 3 feet long.
I took care of a ball python named
Original Sin over
winter break my freshman year in
college. His owner told me that he would probably only eat once in that month, and ate
live mice.
My sister was horrified.
When it seemed the snake should be
hungry, we got 3 mice (feed mice) and put them in the tank. I named them
Breakfast,
Lunch, and
Dinner. My sister was horrified. She hit me.
Sin was not interested. Eventually, i left them in the tank as i went away for a couple of hours. When i came back, the
mice had started
munching on the
snake! I was
horrified.
Sin survived. Soon after i fed him a
dead Lunch, he got a little less
timid, and started to
molt. The
sores on his back made it a little difficult for him.
