This is my female Savu Python which have quickly become a favorite of mine.
You can see the color change so far in these few pictures.

Never even heard of them till just then, did a quick google search and wow they are nice.
I can see why it quickly became a favourite. :)

They change color and end up looking like a white lip python and the males keep some orange speckling while the females are more solid black and white, and they have a very high iridescence because of there thin skin. My favorite thing is the eyes turn pearly white as an adult, plus they are the only python found in such a small geographical range.

Nice snake. A friend of mine gave me a great deal on a pair a couple months ago. Makes me wish I would have snatched them up when I had the chance.

Haha too funny..the same thing happened to me. I had never heard of these pythons until a few months ago when I bought this girl.

Cheers! Glad you took interest, I think they are a very underrated python species.

Nice, next time take the dive if you like them. They are really neat little pythons.
 
Oohh.. I've never seen one of them before.. must Google them. Are they a bit rare, or do they go under a different name?
 
Becoming very rare in their native islands now
Totally protected
But money talks when the pet trade wants something badly enough

They are not very common in the pet trade in the US, not sure about the rest of the world.

Good to know they are protected now, this is one of the reasons why I chose to work with this species as there aren't many of them.

Thank you! I'm very excited to see her once she is completely done with her color change. I will post pictures and keep you all updated on the color change.
