Heating and Equipment:

for equipment just put in something like a cave or log children’s pythons love to hide.

Caging Provided:

I have a custom built 48 by 36. all you really need for a full grown is a 20-30 gallon

Feed appropriate sized mice. the biggest prey a children’s python can eat is an adult mouse hatchlings can eat 1 pinkie every week then upgrade to fuzzies,hoppers and so on

Nothing is required

Maintenance:

Remove feces whenever you see it. clean the tank once a month. overall pretty easy to care for

Some Words on this Species:

Awesome beginner python but time and patience is needed to keep them tame as antaresa species are generally pretty nippy. if you want a python without the large size a children’s python is for you
