I have been looking into the possibilities of housing jungle Pythons in Vivarium/ Paludarium type enclosures and was wondering if anyone could give me some info??
I'am aware there are many factors involved e.g humidity causing respiratory problems, python drowning in water etc, but I'am very serious about it and would love to hear some solutions and input if I can. Cheers.

I have two pairs of Darwins which are all around 9 mnths old. I am hoping to one day give breeding them a go so I am doing my research now.
I was wondering if anybody lets their snakes naturally incubate their own eggs and are there any pros and cons of natural verses artificial incubation?
My situation is I live in Darwin and have my snakes in a room without air-conditioning (natural outside climate for Darwin)
Your thoughts/advice on this issue would be appreciated

So no idea of histrory,age, local etc.
Noticed in his last 2 sheds that he has been losing colour along his side scales, as there turning pink (camera pics dont show it well but there pink)
So info ive figured out so far is hes male maybe 3 yrs old and possibly calico.
Anyway just thought id see everyones thoughts as i know little of calicos and BHP morphs in general.
Pink half/full scales go all the way down both lower sides.
Thanks for any insite.

I have checked the basic species list on the department of environment website, and they aren't on there as far as I can see. Had a search through the forum, and can't find anything about keeping them in SA.

I won't be looking at getting one for a good couple of years yet, as I want to get more experience with keeping carpets first, but would like to know for my own reference, and for when I decide to get one in a few years.

If they do require a specialist permit, is anything special needed (such as with vens, crocs etc) or merely a matter of applying and paying the fee?

I went to check on my snakes and found one of my Darwins in the middle of laying eggs. It brightened my day so much I almost forgot about my flu for a minute. She'd already laid eleven eggs by that time. It took her another couple hours to deposit the rest. She laid twenty fertile eggs and one slug. I took some pics to share.

Enjoy,

Corey.

I've heard a few instances of it here, but not how they solved the 'problem'... I know you can prevent it by not dangling a massive snake around your neck, but eh, some people still do it.

Online I've heard countless stories of owners keeping a pencil to snap if the python were to constrict them, they claim the python would think it was 'hearing' a bone breaking and release... this is hilarious for so many reasons.

My curiousity got the better of me here - but has anyone had this happen? How'd you stop it? Some insight for a naive lizard owner would be swell... :lol:

I said do you have a licence for it.....oh yeah he says, I have a licence !!

I was wondering if anyone had observed any differences in the health or behaviour of captive snakes when heating is supplied from above vs from below? It probably won't make any difference but I was just wondering if any heating from above or below would initiate more natural behaviours.
