you can keep them on a rec licence in qld, no worries, there are a few people in qld with them, but as they have small clutch sizes, they are not readily available, hence the large price tag.

Recent costs average between the $1000-$1500 mark. I don't know if the other colour morphs are available here as they are in some places overseas - apparently calicos and a more bronzed colour morphs are available, but the prices would probably be more. WA will not put them on their species are not allowed to be collected from the wild. What lines available are the only ones in circulation. Someone in SA was going to sell hatchies straight from the shell without having shed or fed for $1200ea. You had to go on a waiting list for these ones as he was sold out, considering they normally only lay about 3-5 eggs on average. Hatchies are apparently tiny apparently around the 10-15 cm mark (as I've been told) and literally about as thin as a shoelace. Some writings suggest that in the wild, they feed off small eel like creatures. Personally, if i had one, AHG's would be my source of food. The dude that runs the www.tinypythons.com website has a few hatchies in his album. He was giving them pinky legs and pinky bits
