Olive

Hi all,

Thought I would share this with you all.

Just took this picture of a olive python that I have here.
It is 9 years old, 3.8 meters long & 35kg!
Big python!!

PS it's not for sale.

Regards Tim

Ouch! That's one big olive! What size enclosure do you keep it in???

Looks like I'm going to have to give mine a room of his own when he gets a bit older!

NoOne, not for sale!.
It is such a quite python as most olives are, Lutzd it is a cages about 2 meters by 1 meter by 1 meter and this cage looks so small.
Am now working on large cage later this week. It will be a walk in cage similar to other that I have here.

Oh spoted, my girl is not 3 years old yet and she is allready biger than that.
My largest enclosure is 2 x .6 x .8 metre and looks like I have to build biger one.

Nice photo Tim.
