Contents and Overview

During the course I will show you video footage and images to demonstrate each topic. This course contains 48 lectures and over 3 hours of video content.

I have added some practical exercises, quizzes and printable resources to help you.

At the beginning of this course I start by introducing you to the many different python species of the world. I give an introduction into keeping these snakes in captivity, and the importance of record keeping for your captive animal. Then we delve into enclosure requirements.

In the feeding section we talk about how and when to feed your python, tackling fussy feeders and pythons that totally refuse to eat, as well as over-feeding issues.

In the safe handling section I will demonstrate how to approach and handle your python, techniques for handling more defensive and aggressive snakes, and what to do if you get bitten.

Pythons like any other animal, can carry bacteria and parasites, so I have included a section about enclosure cleaning and personal hygiene to help you prevent illness and avoid cross-contamination.

Then finally we will go through health issues that can arise with your python and how to deal with them, including quarantining.

Note this course is specifically about keeping pythons, and therefore not all the information in this course will apply to keeping other types of snakes.

Absolutely blown away with the detail and the way Steve has broken down the course into easy to understand sections. Both myself and my 7 year old daughter have taken away so much information that will assist us to better keep our snakes and understand them. Anyone who is even toying with the idea of getting a python, buying this course will save you in the long run and prevent costly mistakes. definitely worth it.

Very informative. This course has given me an excellent knowledge base for providing the most up to date care for pythons. It gives me a good base for when I finally get a snake. Helps me decide whether or not I should get a snake! Well done!

This course is an absolutely amazing contribution to further python husbandry covering a lot of topics normally avoided or never thought of broken down into a step by step procedure. I personally believe this course should be made a prerequisite for anyone thinking of keeping pythons to avoid a lot of health issues commonly seen in the hobby. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 10/10
