Feeding habits of golden pythons:
Feeding on birds and mammals, due to long-term artificial feeding, most individuals accept frozen poultry meat such as white striped chicken and duck; Some owners feed chicken legs and wings with non-nutritious food for a long time, which leads to malnutrition, illness, loss of reproductive ability and even death.
If possible, live mammals such as mice, Dutch pigs, meat rabbits, etc. should be put in, but larvae should try not to feed hamsters and golden bears with crops; Because this kind of animals feed on grain, a lot of grain will be stored in crops; Larvae can't digest, leading to enteritis and even death; Moreover, it tastes strange, and it is often difficult for larvae to accept new food and grow healthily after preying.
