Aussie Pythons and Snakes

Spandex · #1 25-Oct-06, 10:25 PM

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone on here is or knows of a scubby breeder. I have a rather large half indoor half outdoor aviary which is very well protected and i think it'd be prefectly suited to a big python, when properly wired of course. Prefer a hatchling.

Cheers,
Andy.

Ok,
Where are you?
Is this Scrubbie your first snake or have you got other snakes/reptiles?

I live on the south coast of NSW, near wollongong.

No this isn't my first snake. I have diamonds and my brother has coastal carpets and a few lizards. So I'm confident i can handle a scrubby without being eaten.

Yes they are

1) I need to know where he is to suggest a breeder that's close,
2) I wanted to know if he was one of these people who are under the impression that Scrubbies make good first snakes and,
3) Prior to making a post please think of the following : Better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I was thinking the same but realized they wrote about wiring the aviary up.
So I assume they will be using a heat source etc (maybe even colourbonding the sides + roof)

Well two and a half sides of the aviary are completely sealed, and i work at the steelworks here so getting my hands on some colourbond to do the other bits probly won't be much of a task.

And it turns out i would need a class 2 licence in NSW. Cheers guys. I thought all the morelia species were class one.

In regards to that, i recently renewed my class 1 license ( $120 for 5 years). Would i just be able to pay the additional money to get a class 2?

Sure you would be able to.

The roof is also already covered. Its quite a good setup. You can walk in there. Probly the size of a small bedroom. I was thinking making a heated hide as well as a few simple non- heated ones, and have a daytime basking spot also. Its even got a nice little tree growing in it, the floor is paved, so really if i keep the weather out a bit more it should be sweet.
