I am looking at getting a darwin python and have been told that they are snappy but havent found any other opinions to compare. Can anyone inform me more about this breed? |

As youngsters they are mostly PURE EVIL, but as adults they appear to settle abit. |

I have an adult pair they are awesome snakes ! both great handlers .
I dont think they deserve the bad rep they get !
I bought them as adults so i cannot comment on them as hatchies ,But there true beauty more then makes up for it .

Have a look in my gallery and you will see that mine are tame enough for my kids to handle and my male is over 6ft long.

i dont think they deserve this reputation as most being aggressive, i got mine as a hatchling a year ago and has never attempted to bite me(atleast until 2 weeks ago, but only around feedin time)

cheers,
steve.........

Of course he would, the little honey makes holes in his hand then thinks, "Oh! I shouldn't have done that", and proceeds to try and fill them in |

Pythons have small brains, I don't think even Darwins are very bright | | |
