Info on Olive pythons

Just a few quick questions...
which is bigger, Olivaceus or Brothilecus?
I read olives range from rocky outcrops in deserts to woodlands, which ones are found were?
The reason im asking is because about to build a large display enclosure for my baby girl who isnt so small anymore and want to make it as realistic as possible for her. Im thinking 6x2x2 to 6x3x3 - just depending on where I can put it...
does anyone have any photos or recemendations they would like to suggest??

p.s doesnt have to be pictures of a disply enclosure for an olive, I am just really interested in setting up really realistic environments for all my animals.

Do you by any chance mean Bothrichilus (Sp), If so this is just the old classificatiion they were under as B. Olivaceous. The to forms of Olives, if I am correct, are L.Olivaceous and L. Olivaceous Barroni. L.o. Barroni being the smaller Western species.

You are pretty close Afro, they are L. olivaceus olivaceus and L olivaceus barroni, however, barroni are the larger of the two species.

I'd love a pair of olives or even a trio, but they just get so damned big that they wont fit in my collection.

L.olivaceus barroni is the Pilbara Olive so im sure they are the bigger of the two. Has anyone been able to breed them as yet?
