What is childrens python?

The children's python (Antaresia childreni) is a small non-venomous species of snake native to Australia. They are often kept as pets due to their small size, docile temperament, and ease of care.

Children's pythons typically grow to be around 2-4 feet in length, making them suitable for captivity in a 20-gallon enclosure. They are known for their patterns of dark spots and stripes on a lighter background color, which can vary between individuals.

In the wild, children's pythons primarily feed on small vertebrates such as rodents, birds, and reptiles. In captivity, they can be fed a diet of appropriately sized rodents or birds.

Children's pythons are generally easy to care for, requiring a warm and humid environment, a hiding spot, and a water bowl for drinking and soaking. They are nocturnal animals and are generally more active at night.

Overall, children's pythons make great pets for beginner snake keepers due to their small size, gentle demeanor, and relatively simple care requirements.
