Bredli Python Good?

Hi All,
I'm looking at buying a Bredli Python for a pet (no breeding) and would like some general feedback about their temperament, ease of care, feeding etc. I used to own a Carpet Ptyhon but had to sell her due to moving house (and I have regretted it ever since!). I currently own a Childrens Python but I miss owning a large snake.
Thanx!

If you want a large snake, i'd suggest you get an olive python

Seriously though, i'm planning on getting a Bredli as my first snake, as i've heard that generally they're an easy to keep and placid species.

I would love to get an Olive! But alas, I just don't have the room (yet!)

I have done lots of research and found the same thing, I just wanted an owners opinion and experiences

hiya nina, i have a couple of bredli in my collection and think that they are just wonderful. The female was snappy when we first got her but calmed down soon enough with lots of handling, they were both eating mice when we first got them but have changed over to rats now without any problems. Love their temperment and their colours are just awesome good luck and dont forget the pics when you do get it

Thanx Tweety!
I can't wait to get one, should only be another month (I'm building the enclosure myself, and the little bubs haven't hatched yet hehe). But I will definitely post some pics when I get it.
