In need of python

[cheazy]

hey everyone, i have been patient for about 5-6 months now. i have been very busy with yr 12 and some productions ive bn doing. my last play finished on saturday and i just did my maths test so i think ive waited long enough and would now like to take the final step and purchase my first python. i have been slowly building my enclosure and am very proud of it, it is higher than wide and ive also acquired my license.

I am after a HATCHLING:
murray darling,
darwin,
coastal
or even a bredli (although might be outa my price range as am strapt for cash being in yr12)

i would only like to purchase in SYDNEY area as transport/freight is expensive
i am willing to spend around $100-$180ish so i no i need to find a bargain. prefer a male, must be healthy and pure...no cross's

thanx all
cheers, mike

$100-$180 limits you to coastals and md's, i'd go with a coastal, i have 3 and i love them, how long is your enclosure?

 

[cheazy]

yeah my budget isnt the best i know. my enclosure is 70cm wide x 84cm high x 43cm deep

 

[cuddlykylie]

ummm maybe a childrens variety is better suited to that enclosure, a larger species will outgrow that very fast, will last you a year to a year and a half at the max lol

well im open to offers

That enclosure will be fine for a yearling Carpet Python but not a hatchie. Rob Johnson said that the most common reason for getting young pythons into his vet practice is because people keep them in enclosures too large.

You will still need to start a hatchie in a tub. And in about 3 years you will need a larger enclosure than the one you describe above but I am guessing that by then you will have a couple of years of working under your belt and you will also need your current enclosure for your next yearling.

I have been asked by a friend {that works too much and has not got the time to sell himself} I am selling murray darlings crossed with diamond python. I am selling them them for $160. They should be ready in a couple of weeks. They will not be sold until they have eaten a minimum of at least three feeds and have been proven to be in good health. Pm me if you are interested

 

[junglepython2]

i don't think he wants a cross, you should be able to pick up a pure MD in that price range anyway.

 

[cheazy]

still looking.....no cross's please

In the latest edition of reptile australia magazine, the MD got the best all round snake for captivity and beginers.

 

[cheazy]

[hornet]

[cheazy]

[swingonthespiral]

there is some coastals on the herp trader that are $110 in brissie and with freight that would be your budget if you can find anything in your area....
