Housing the Centralian Python
Housing of these snakes is typical of that for most large pythons. That is provide a clean dry cage with fresh water in a container, perching and hiding spots. Ground cover may be leaves, rocks, etc. or newspaper. These snakes are prone to scale rot and body blisters if their cages are too moist, and 'dry rot' (scale rot) if their cages are too dry. These scale ailments are commonly linked to nutritional deficiencies. These snakes are highly prone to mouthrot (canker), pneumonia and mites, all of which can kill these snakes.
