Thought it was time to bring this thread to life again ...
Being a relativel newcomer to Herping world (2 years), I have only just found out about the existence of these snakes, at least as Australian. I'd seen their name written down, but had always assumed that they were an exotic.
Is there any current news on them? Any successful breeding programs in wildlife parks following loophole exploitation?
Are they really:
a) the biggest or 2nd biggest Australian Snake?
b) not that rare in their native habitat?
Cheers,
Nic

When my father discovered this python it was very controversial. He named it himself and there was a picture of me with it in the bath printed in the NT News at the time, which I know have the original on my wall. I was about 4 years old which would make it about 1983. My mother knows the full story of it's discovery, if your interested let me know and I will ask her and post it. I believe at the time alot of the well know herp's didn't believe that there could possibly be another species but dad knew better and finally due to the patterns and the scale count they had to agree. As to whether or not anyone has them in captiviy at the moment I couldn't be sure. Quote:

Previous to the release of his book most of the books I'd read classed most morelia as carpet pythons.
Does anyone keep or breed them? or was it just a new specie classification that got reclassified?
Just curious

The story I heard (from someone who knows Peter well) is that Peter had a pair on a research permit. Apparently after years of study & failed attempts at breeding, he finally succeeded in producing a clutch. As soon as that happened, the department stepped in, took the lot, and cancelled the project. True? I cant say, but my source is reliable, and similar situations have happened before. As far as I'm aware, Oenpellis aren't permitted on any state's schedules.
