baby pythons and eastern browns in second week of october!

[godfreysown]

Hi folks, I've been interested in snakes of the Northern Rivers Region, NSW, for about 2 years, so I expect to be very surprised, very often, but
imagine my surprise when I find baby pythons and brown snakes in October, when everything I've ever encountered about these snakes tells me
that babies don't appear till Jan-march?

Could someone shed some light on this for me and/or point me to a reliable body of information?

Many thanks,

Tex Tillis

Are you sure that they're not last seasons juveniles?
If so, how do you know that they've just hatched?

they would have been from earlier in the year,some have not put on much size , i encounter young browns and young diamonds at anytime of year

Even though I have chunky little almost yearlings I would have to imagine that some wild hatchies from last year might just not be eating as much and as a result may only be maintaining condition instead of growing.

As everyone else has said, last seasons hatcho's...

Thanks for all who responded.
Enjoy the (very early springing?) spring!
