It is eating the largest rabbits that I can get my hands on. I am only feeding it monthly and it eats three at a time and wants more, but as you can see i dont think it need to put any more weight on.
sarahbell,
It is just a big northern Australia olive python that does not read books and no when to stop growing. lol |

I am on the look out for a mate for her as you could understand I would love to brred from this python I think I would end up with a couple of egg from her.
She does not usually poo when out of the cage and I think this is because of how quite/relaxed she is when out.
You are correct in say the the lady on the poo end was a bit worried this is because a bit dropped out at the time of the picture.
That lady is Donna my better half and the other two people are employee's of URS.
I think that I should all so point out that a python of this size even being a very very quite reptile is still a very dangerous reptile because of it size and weight.
Our staff and my self included are not at any stage to get this python out of the cage with out two people being there.
It is just to bloody strong and I would not want to find someone dead in my reptile room.
Ricko when you and other people are handling your bigger pythons you would feel the strength in them.
So I hope that everyone understands why I say that this is a dangerous python at this size.
Best regards Tim |

The person on the poo end sure looks worried and judging from the bulge down near the tail... with good reason.

| fair enough i am only going by what the books i have say . I have not seen one in the flesh and when i say that the book says they are bigger it is in pythons of the world and is refering to the average sizes of adult olives
I am not doubting you at all
