I'm thinking hatchie or yearling maybe older if the color is right and I'm going to be very picky with color my female is just on 4yrs now and i'm honestly not in a huge rush to breed. still don't know enough
Just had a look on there but didn't see them?

Nice looking coastal - a Brisbane?
Have a clutch in the incubator at the moment of Brisbane coastals - look similar to viciousred's coastal

Unfortunately I'm not sure of her back round, I got her from a guy in Windsor just before my 18th birthday as a yearling, not in great condition but i was a novice and had no idea. she was my first snake and is very special to me.
For her i'm looking for a male of similar coloring but slightly more.. i Don't know what but when i see it I'll know it lol

Ahh yep i saw them must have been blind yesterday. thanks! just another question for all the coastal people on here, do you know where i could find a book or article on the different localities? Most of what i have found has just said "many different colors" and I'd rather know more than that thanks

This link has a little info and a gallery of different locality types:
Coastal Carpet Python - Wildlife QLD
Otherwise there's the good old Google Image Search !
If you are looking for a particular locality (defined by patern/colouration etc) your best bet is to post some pics and say "I want one like this"- someone around will have parents that are similar.

Fantastic thankyou for that!
Another question! Because me female is almost 4 would it be a better idea to get a male closer to her age rather than breeding her for the first time at age 7-8? i'm starting to re think getting a hatchling male for her, think i've waited to long

If your plan is to breed her; I would be thinking of picking up a nice male close to her size as she is RIGHT NOW; rather than build things up. Ideally; the female wants to be a little larger than the male at breeding time; as a significant amount of her weight/bulk will be lost to those eggs; so if you get a male her size now and feed them well over the coming year, then feed her a little more regularly prior to winter and then after cooling as well; she should be a bit bulkier than the male and be ready to make that sweet snakey love !!!! I wouldn't recommend getting a hatchie though if the plan is to breed; it's a long wait and if she is of good size now then strike while the iron's hot !

Thanks for that! Going to make finding a mate a little more difficult but I'm sure i'll find something! I'll still hatching pairs of the other coastals, gives me a bit more time to work with space wise
I really need to get that breeding aussie pythons book everyone talks about, I even sell it at my work so no excuse!
How much do you think a male of that size would be? (5-6ft) $300? $400? I don't want to just get one from any old joe blow selling there snake i'd rather it be someone reputable...

Coastals aren't terribly expensive- anywhere for an adult from $200-$350 I guess. Keep an eye on Herptrader and the Marketplace on this site; and AHC site also. Coastals are going for sale all the time.
This guy is right up your alley, in NSW- good size, nice stripes; open to offers.....
