Bloody hope I'm right, anyway, otherwise I've got a pair of womas I can do nothing with lol. | Bloody wrong unfortunately for you. If you even have an "intent to breed", you must hold a restricted licence amendment i.e if you house a male and female of breeding age together. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Feb-07 Location: Brisbane, Toowong Age/Gender: 20 | | | | I understand it will be a few years in the works but think it'll be totally worth it. I'll just focus on getting the two little babies first, and when they get older I'll focus on getting the required licenses and stuff.
In order for that to happen though, I need a place to buy two hatchies for around 5K a piece... So if anybody is selling or even knows where I can get them from, I'd love to hear from you.
Even just websites/names of sellers would be great. |

|  | Ice Subscriber | Join Date: Oct-06 Age/Gender: 17 | | | why get a gtp when you can get a rough scaled? imo they are nicer, they have blue eyes! lol
but goodluck with it, check all the herp places and more, you will stumble accross a breeder sooner or later.

need abit of experence with other pythons first id say by abit around 5years to get to no and see problems ect get a pair of Het albino darwins or maybe even olives be abit cheaper and ther harder or even a pair of albinos but to replicate the gtp environment especally for a baby probly end in disaster! |

I want a GTP for various reasons and so won't be getting something else. I have sufficient belief in my own husbandry and know plenty of people (not least of which are here) that will do everything they can to help.
EDIT: Thanks Spinipes, I sent an email off to that address.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Oct-07 Location: Hell Gender: | | | Can i just point out that even experianced keepers, with years of hands on experiance have failed. So being a novice and contemplating buying a GTP is likening a child to playing with a loaded gun. I suggest and in my opinion only, that you get some experiance keeping and breeding some of the other various australian pythons which are just as beautiful and are less risky. GTPs are one of my favourite pythons, and there are few that can over look there majestic beauty. But if you are seriously considering betting hard earned dollars on these beautiful animals dont focus on breeding the animals focus on growing them to healthy adults. As it may be an expensive lesson to learn |

The amount of snakes one keeps does not reflect the amount of knowledge one has. This is easily noted in people who own 10 snakes and keep them like trash.
I am not buying these snakes to make a profit (this is a very naive view, IMO). I am wanting to keep them because they are beautiful snakes that (I think) nothing can rival. I will focus on growing them to healthy and happy adults, and if they are doing well will breed them. | | |
