Well I have greatly enjoyed reading all the gossip and talk from all who chose to comment on the phantom wheeleri breeder of sydney. Especially the one from Jonno, about a guy buying a burnt out old pair for $5000. He should stick to his elapids.
I have been successfully studying and breeding wheeleri now for over two years. Yes licenced by N.P.W.S.
My article is to appear in this months Reptiles Australia magazine on the breeding of Nephurus Wheeleri. Recently it was wrongly reported at a Herp meeting that no person has Wheeleri on Licence in NSW. NPWS are endeavoring to rectify some incorrect statements that were made at this meeting.
I do hope this corrects all the talk that has been splashed about on this sight.
We will soon be selling a pair, so E.O.I will be taken from any interested breeders. |

Are these one's Wheeleri Wheeleri, or Wheeleri Cinctus? I've only ever seen Cinctus in captivity, but i reckon Wheeleri Wheeleri look better. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jul-06 Location: mornington peninsula,vic Age: 33 | | | | yes 5 grand is expensive for a pair,but so is the price of gtps,albino olives and darwins plus many others,not sayin id fork over the bucks,but if u go on the prices of gtps ect,5000 odd for a pr is quite reasonable,especially when that pr will be producing offspring alot sooner than any python is likely to,thats if u can keep them alive,and there a definate m/f and of course if u can breed them,it is always good when new species are brought into captivity,pity they can be over pricey at times but im sure knob tail fans will be lining up to get some,which holds well to establishing them into captivity |

I would prefer wheeleri to say GTPs - its all down to personal preference. I love geckos so therefore value them more highly than someone who prefers say snakes
