They are pretty forgiving little things and have a lot of personality and could be handled by you 2 year old quite easy as they average about 1 meter. JMO

But im only a novice, but all seems to be very happy.

They are on 24/7 but thermostat controlled, red heat light 24/7 (on thermo)
And a normal light which is on a timer for 12 hours on a day.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Townsville, NQ Age/Gender: 23  | | | | Haha Bredli and MD are two of my more skittish snakes! Well the MD has little girl syndrome i always say but she's settled down really well. Tried to eat the computer screen the other day... so cute!
Get whichever you think looks best i reckon... if you think that jungles are stunning get a jungle and handle it heaps, same with the others as well... temperament is not ALWAYS a species thing... not ALWAYS (my jungles a typical jungle...)! Whichever you think looks nicest! Any of them would make you more than happy!

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Townsville, NQ Age/Gender: 23  | | | | Here's a recent pic of my maccie (aka. Spotted Python). He's so cute and cheeky and i'd give him to a kid to hold any day! And he's gorgeous! In real life he's really light (not blonde just light) between his spots. The breeder i got him off produces some stunning 'normal' macs!
