Carpet python facts

carpet python
Most carpet pythons are relatively gentle

Carpet pythons are medium-sized and have low living environment requirements It is very tall, so it has become the target of choice for many snake owners. Carpet pythons have a relatively slender body and grow quickly at first, but then gradually slow down. It is not recommended for most snakes to feed larger individuals, but for carpet pythons, you can feed some slightly larger individuals, and generally there will be no big problem.

1. Storage temperature and humidity

Generally speaking , the ambient temperature is between 24 degrees Celsius and 27 degrees Celsius, and the hot temperature between 31 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius is an ideal temperature for raising carpet pythons. There is no problem if the temperature value is one or two degrees different from this concept. Unless you want to create a temperature cycle for your carpet python to promote the onset of developmental behaviors, creating a temperature difference between day and night is not a necessary activity in the breeding process. Regarding humidity, some people say that it should always be between 70% and 80%, but don’t be too cautious. If the area you live in is often very dry and you feel the need to spray water in the breeding environment every day, remember to ensure that the standing water in the breeding environment will completely evaporate before you spray water next time. This is to create a humidity cycle rather than continued high humidity. Continued high humidity encourages the growth of bacteria and mold in the environment, which can cause respiratory symptoms in carpet pythons, as well as numerous other health problems.

2. Carpets Are pythons aggressive?

Most carpet pythons have good temperaments and will not react when they feel threatened or stressed.Rolled up into a ball, in fact, the typical reaction of carpet pythons when they feel stressed is to try to escape, and only a very small number of individuals will try to attack. Newly hatched carpet pythons are generally very gentle, but some of them may be more vicious. Unfortunately, their small size makes them harmless to humans. At about one to two years old, even the most aggressive larvae often become calmer as they age. Some larvae may become sociable after just a few days of use, while others may need more time. It will take several years to completely calm down. Aggressive juvenile and subadult carpet pythons do not require special hands-on training before they eventually become mellow. Normal human feeding and care as well as the self-confidence and security gained by snakes during their growth are generally enough.

3. Does the carpet python hear noises

Many People think that snakes are all deaf and can only perceive the world around them through the vibration of the earth, the perceived heat energy and the breath molecules in the air. However, anatomical research has shown that snakes do have an inner ear structure, and scientific research has shown that the brains of snakes also repeatedly respond to sounds transmitted by the air. It turns out that snakes have two independent systems to exchange sound frequencies transmitted through air vibrations and ground vibrations. One system is their body, which spreads sound frequencies through communication organs scattered in the abdominal skin connected to the notochord. The other set is their ears. This system can spread vibrations through the snake's lungs to the eighth cranial nerve and the skin of the inner ear, so snakes can hear sounds.
