I caught it outside my campus radio station, it was in the window trying to make it's way inside. I'm sure it woulda been killed pretty quick, so I took it home. I've tried to read up on keeping them, and I get some mixed messages. Some say they're easy to care for, others say they're difficult. My friend had a python that passed away, so I can use her enclosure and lamps and everything... I guess the deciding factor is whether or not I have to feed it mice. If I can get by with minnows and insects, I'm perfectly cool. I don't have the heart to feed an animal another animal (I've had a lot of feeder mice as pets, sort of a squishy spot for me). What do you guys think?
