A huge 'nervous' python is looking for his 'forever home' in Scotland
Taz, a seven-year-old Royal Python, has been in the care of Scottish SPCA's Fife rehoming and rescue centre for the last 75 days. The charity says the nonvenomous Pythonidae, normally found in West and Central Africa, will require a large vivarium at least 4ft in length to allow him plenty of places to hide.
His breed can grow to up to a maximum length of 182cm, which is around 6ft. Officers at the animal welfare charity say Taz is looking for an experienced snake owner, who will know how to care for his needs. Dale Christie, assistant centre manager, said: “Taz is a beautiful lad but he still has some nervous tendencies whilst inside of his vivarium. However, when he is out and being handled he settles quickly.
“Taz will need a large vivarium at least 4ft in length with plenty of enrichment and places for him to hide. Taz will require an experienced snake owner who has done research into owning this type of snake and understands their needs. "A confident owner who will be able to continue his handling and build his confidence would be ideal.”Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond - Sign up to our daily newsletter here.
