|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Mar-08 Location: Brisbane, Queensland Age/Gender: 13  | | | Can you cross breed Antaresia Childreni with a Antaresia Maculosa?
I want to breed Children's pythons but i can never find a 2 year old female, but i can always seem to find a 2 or 2 and a half year old Spotted python. Is it alright to cross breed them or is it a bad idea.
If anyone knows of any 2 year old or just over 2 year old python of these species in this topic, please tell me.
Thanks.

If you can't find an older Childreni female buy a hatchling and raise it. |

The right girl will eventually come up and your pure bred hatchlings will be easy to sell. At the moment everyone is selling hatchlings, but later in the year they will be getting rid of excess stock and you will be able to pick up a girl then. It's hard to be patient when they are such great animals, but it's worth it!

Thanks. | In addition to the reasons that others have mentioned, cross-breeding is against the conditions of the Queensland licence.
There are a few yearling female Children's pythons around: http://www.reptilesdownunder.com/ahc...ction=For+Sale

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Mar-08 Location: Brisbane, Queensland Age/Gender: 13 | | | I've looked around quite alot, i'll keep an a eye on for sale and herp trader.
Would be alright to get a Children's python from early last year to breed?
I have a male at the moment, he is about 15 months old.
Would it be right to breed a female 1 year or 2 years younger
then the male?
Thanks for the comment Spilota

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Oct-06 Location: Sydney Gender: | | | | The size is more important than the age. The female needs to be grown up and have enough weight. Usually 3 years old will do. Once they are adults they don't grow much. On the Herpshop site there is some info about breeding Antaresia (a fact sheet). Have a read of that and of Doc Rock's articles on the SXR site.
