Hi All,
I was wondering how many people keep these pythons and what they think of them.
Do they have a snappy tendancy or are they placid?
Does anyone have pics anywhere?
Where is a good place to buy them?
Cheers
Ad.

Ad have you seen Shannons darwins.
I have a male out of the same clutch.
Mine was sycho to start but i have got him to stage now where he is handleble and i can work around the cage without the fear of him trying to tag me.
I love them nice colours plenty of personality but some can be quite feisty.
You are more than welcome to pop over and check mine out some day.
By the wat he is 4 sale too!!lol.
Rob

I have a pair. The male is a very docile for such a large snake while the younger female is a bit fiesty but has never bitten.
They are fantastic looking snakes.

they are awsome sneaks, if you handle them right from the beginning they will never be snappy, they thrive on attention and if you give it to them they will be waiting at the front of their enclosure when you come home ready to play with you

Here's a pic of the big male.
As you can see, even my daughter can easily handle him.
There are a couple other pics in my gallery.

They are great looking snakes and are at the cheaper end of the scale.

The female is only just 5 ft.
I may wait until the year after to try breeding them.
