Something that crossed my mind thinking about Australian Pythons in U.S. Herpetoculture, Just curious what species or subspecies seems to be the most popular in Australia? What has been the most popular?
Morelia
Aspidites
Antaresia
Liasis
Venomous
Other |

To the OP: I guess that depends on how you define "most popular." Do you mean the most sought-after, or the most widely kept? |

Here in the States we seem to focus the most on Pythons, but There are probably many other types of snakes as well....Seem all we talk about is Pythons...for good reason of course..lol

The most popular species would definitely be a difficult one to determine... perhaps Childreni? |

Good Question....probably the most widely kept.......Seems over here there are many "Carpet" Pythons...that seems to me the most worked with here....
