We went out to get my gf a corn earlier, but after listening to the man in the shop she ended up with this spotted python! 
At least it means I get to keep the baron.

OK thanks very much for asking. The spotted keepers on the aussiepython forum all concur on temps at about 32 warm and 26 cool. So I turned the stat up a touch but the cool end will just have to stay how it is. It might be slightly too humid in the rub at the mo then coz it does steam up a little, but Twirl will be moving into a large flat faun shortly which as you know have bucket loads of airholes, so humidity should be fine then.
I installed a climbing frame and vine in the faun earlier for her which hopefully she'll enjoy. Hopefully the sealant is going off nicely right now and it'll be nice and secure in plenty of time for the move.
I want a spotted python now! lol She is so placid and just happily sits wrapped around your fingers. But I'm going to hold off coz I want to get a BRB at some point in the not too distant...

OK cheers I'll prob just get some vine then. But might have some bamboo in the garage so will check there first.
Her eyes are gorge aren't they? I only just found out today why her eyes are different to corns. Coz she is nocturnal and corns are crepuscular (or however it's spelt!) apparently.
I was thinking of getting one myself at some point because she does look cute and is so placid. Just sits there on your hand quite happily for ages. Not like my corns that just don't sit still! lol ... But I'd like a BRB when I've had a bit more experience so will hang on for that I think and just act as Twirls' cool uncle.
Here's a couple more pics including a nice eye shot just for you Rob.

Lol, facebook is both a blessing and a curse. I'm actually dead taken by your oH's little snake, I think its eyes are hypnotic. Just working out where to put one when the urge to buy one becomes too much.
Dowel probably not the best I think that stuff is pine but something along those lines. |

Cheers Rob. At the moment Twirl is living in a 9 litre rub that I had already set up in preparation for the corn that my gf was SUPPOSED to get. lol However, I've got a large flat faun which is a bit larger and we're going to move Twirl into that in the near future, which should then see her through to adulthood and a viv. I'll either fit a vine inside or get a piece of dowel or something similar from which she can hang. Presume that will suffice?
I just wanna say I love this forum - and others like it - for all the invaluable advice that's available. I used to spend most of my spare time playing cityville on facebook (yes, sad I know!) but these days most of my spare time is spent browsing all sorts of threads on here! lol |

Lovely little python, time to get building a climbing frame, they love to climb, its what they do.
yeah I thought she might! But she's going to be living in a rub for a while so not much chance of that just yet!

Good choice
gf says thanks and glad you like. I need to find out more about them still though! So far we're only going on what the guy in Lost World said so I need to research a bit more.
And she certainly does live up to her name! She twirls around everything! Although that isn't how she got the name. It's my lady's favourite chocolate! lol
