What is Python spotted?
SPOTLETED PYSHON is a member of the Hod Antaresie family and bears the scientific name of Antaresia Maculosa. A native of Australia, located in the rocky coastal regions of Queensland and was also brought to a house where it thrives like a pet because it is one of the simplest snakes that maintain captivity. Characted by pale backgrounds with uneven stains black or dark brown, which can be separated or connected by the back stripe, spotted pythons can reach mature lengths of up to 4 feet (1.2 m) and can weigh up to 3 pounds (1.3 kg). They are close relatives of Anthill Python, Children's Python and Stimson Python.
In his native environment, the spotted Python is found along the eastern edge of Australia from Cape York to the new southern Wales. It has also been found to inhabit several islands off the coast of Queensland. Well -adapted to different types of terrain, the atrastsls of the rainforests for opening, Rocky Shores inhabits. Excellent hunter, prey on small creatures such as mice, tofeatures and lizards, and can even catch flying animals, from bats to birds. It is known that the spotted python is waiting at the entrances of the caves that are bats, and strike when bats leave the cave to hunt.
The reproductive cycle of the wild spotted python begins in April, when women lay eggs. They remain with a nest of six to 18 eggs and incubate them for two to three months. As soon as the egg hatch, the woman leaves hatchlings to take care of herself.
Just as it is easy to maintain in captivity, seen Pythons are also easy to reproduce in captivity, without special conditions or temperatures needed to start the reproductive cycle. In a kept pet, the spotted python can be perfectly at home in a minimum cover equal to a 20-galon fish reservoir. These warm cloths are thrown by natives at day temperatures about 86 ° C (29 ° C) and night temperatures 80 ° F (26 ° C), with a thermal lamp that provides optionalé warmer place. Basic requirements such as a constant approach to fresh water, a place where you can hide, as well as branches, platforms and rocks to climb, are all Python needs. The captured pythons can easily survive on a constant diet of slim mice, while the feed is apart from each other once a week.
