Once you decide on owning a pet python, you want to learn more about what your pet is like. Starting from what it feeds on to habits of the reptile. It is important to know about a python's behavior patterns and how to keep your pet happy.
In the wild, Pythons roam the jungle; their skin provides a perfect camouflage. They are excellent swimmers and swim in search of prey or stalk in water.
Like other wild animals Pythons don't know how to exhibit their happiness to humans. With experience though, you'll be able to notice anything 'out of the norm' for your python thru its body language ... signs that it may be feeling sick or uncomfortable, though this will be a little difficult to see at first.
The two most important things you can do to make your python happy have to do with the SUN and SWIMMING.
The Sun
Most pythons enjoy basking under the sun. Therefore, if you provide your pet a good hide box and a heat spot, it will use the hide box to rest most of the time, or just coil around the heat spot basking. A warm python is usually a happy python!
Swimming (exercise)
Given the narrow confines of the cage we provide them, pythons don't get much of the exercise they would otherwise get in the wild forests.
The best exercise for pythons is swimming. True, it is not possible to take the python to a swimming pool or an abandoned pond for security reasons.
But you can use a kiddy pool or a large plastic tub to create a python swimming pool.
Just fill the pool or tub with warm water and let your python in it. You will watch it move around happily, keeping its head above the water.
Make it a point to clean the tub or kiddy pool with disinfectants every time.
Swimming is definitely one of the best ways of entertaining your pet python.
Other ways to keep your python happy
Mating your python when it is ready is also another important way you can make your pet Python happy.
