Whilst they do have that "hard to get in captivity" enigma, and arn't that bad looking, they are nothing compaired to a good stimmy or caramel childrens.

|  | Subscriber | | | | I would also like to know what is the smallest size for a normal childrens python... I have always suspected that I may infact have a pygmy python as one of my fully grown 4 yo childreni is very very small. (compared to my others and others i have seen)
I have always been unable to confirm this

It would be very easy to identify if you did have a Pygmy Python amongst your collection, as I believe they have a far lower mid-body scale count than the other 3 species of Antaresia.

I have always been unable to confirm this | I would suspect its just a small childrens, snakes can sometime just be small. i used to have a cape york mac that was well under a meter about 1/3 the size of a normal one(by weight). | | |
