antaresia childreni

So my childreni has begun to shed, fed him Tuesday, ate with his normal gusto and gave him a bath cause he got dirty :) and went for a cuddle on Wednesday and saw his scales going dull, fast forward to today more dull colour and his eyes have clouded over. All great signs! Had a quick shower...

My 9-10 month boy Neo, (childreni) is coming into his first at home shed! :D Everything is going as I read, scales turning cloudy/dull and his eyes are going milky. He still ate on Tuesday though (very happy!) I gave him a bath that day, something nice and warm to help kick start the shed. He's...

Hello! Recently I've decided that I would like to own a pet snake in a few years time. The problem is, I have no clue on how to care for them. I'm looking at species like chidren's and stimson's pythons. I also like the Murray Darling pythons too, but they seem too large. So what sort...

Mums and Bubs 2013-2014 Hi everyone this thread is for photo's of mums laying there eggs, eggs, incubation methods, hatching or egg cutting, babies fresh from the eggs, and after feeds and during feed time. I have 1 clutch of 11 fertile 0 Slugs of a trio of Wenlock River Cape York female...

Many times on this forum I see threads about mixing one genetic morph from one species to another and the usual flame fest ensues. Like clock work there will always be posts claiming how the same can be achieved by keeping the line "Pure" So lets see them! please include pictures of all types...

No one is going to stop the breeding of jags, zebras other cross morphs, so what should be done with the sibs? I personally think that they should be culled, so that these mongrels don't get sold and then passed off as "pure".

I want to understand why sometimes snakes that are normally docile and content to sit around doing nothing all day get super active every now and then. I've noticed my snakes doing it every now and then for about a day, then they're back to normal again. The only reasons I can really think of is...

I was letting my sister hold my 8 month old spotted when it slid off her arm and fell to the floor. It was about a 3foot drop. She seems fine, appears to be moving ok and isn't angry or agitated, but I'm still worried about her. Could she be hurt and not showing it?

After seeing the zebra super form in S&T a while back I have developed a fascination with Zebras; but there doesn't seem to be much information available on them in Australia? I have seen a reference to a 15K price tag for a zebra jag but where is the info on just normal zebras? What subspecies...

I have a cage subdivided into 60cm by 60cm halves with a strip of heat tape split between the two halves. Half of the heat tape is available on each side. I am looking at a pair of one of the smaller species, probably savu, spotted, or childrens since those are the snakes most available to me...

hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and have a children's python that hasn't eaten for around 3 months, his tank is warm he has water, his skin was dry but I moisturised him (with advice from a vet over the phone) and he shed twice in 3 weeks, he is very active but still wont eat, what's the go...

Ok playing Devil's advocate here... Justin Julander keeps pairs of carpets together all year round. He is one of the main guys involved with carpets and many other snakes for that matter. Now if it's good enough for him, why do so many people with only a fraction of his experience say not to do it?

My 7 month old childrens python has gone off her food. She has always been a good feeder. She doesn't strike or constrict her fuzzies but still gets them down. Her enclosure arrangements have not changed at all and when I changed her from pinkies to fuzzies she accepted them.(the first 2 times...

Just a query as I thought locked actually meant solidly tight no chance of escape lol. So have you had your lovely reptilian escape on you? If so how many times, where did they end up and how locked up tight were the little rascals? :lol:

just wondering if any one knows what sort of python this is. im taking a wild guess and say its a coastal carpet? cheers

Hi everyone. I have had my 6 month old childrens python for about 3 weeks now. She has been eating well until today. She just looked at it (a fuzzy) for a few seconds then completely ignored it. She has had fuzzies before without issue. So I thought maybe she's going to shed? Although I can't...

Hey guys, I have recently been allowed to get a pet snake and I have done some research. I'm not sure what snake is best for beginner, a Stimson or children's python. I like the look of Stimson pythons better but I would rather have a snake that I can look after easier than one that looks...

Hi everyone I have a childrens python hatchling ( almost 7 months old) She is my first snake, so I am still very much a newbie. At the moment she is in a click clack at around 32°c. I am setting up a small viv for her, but with the heat matt alone(5watt) the temp is only sitting on 22°c. What...

Hi all. I am new to the forum and new to snakes. I have just got my standard rwl and am looking at getting my first snake. My wife has had some experience with snakes as she worked for WIRES in Sydney before moving to Queensland. I also have a 5 year old son who loves snakes. I am not sure...

Hello friends, i picked up this little guy in a trade. He is my first antaresia. I love this guy... Just looking for opinions on him. As far as childrens go is he a quality one or just another snake? He is just a pet, no intent to breed so im happy no matter what.... Sent from my SGH-T999...

Does no one prefer the classic forms of reptiles anymore? It seems all I read is people getting excited over 'super, lime, banana-heads' and what not. I get that a lot of breeders make their living off these highly sought after forms and therefore will defend it passionately but is it going too...

Hi all. I have only had my 6 month old childrens python for about 2 weeks now, and she's my first snake , (however I am fairly sure she won't be my last)!! Hopefully it's not a problem, but I thought a pythons tongue flicks in and out all the time. Saphira only does it sometimes when I am...

Was just curious what people know about this as I have been told as they are not a domestic pet and live in containment, like a fish for example that you don't have to declare them on your lease. I only have 1 python so I doubt it would really be a problem and it would be easy to conceal her if...

Hi all. Just got my first python. She is a 6 month old childrens python. I have so many questions I don't know where to start. I think I will learn a lot from the previous forum threads. I hope to be a member here for years to come...

My questions is about the pied mutation. (have never seen a pied effect in any australian snake) Now to me I look at this and it looks as if it a codominace where both normal traits and albimism are expressed in the phenotype. However can codominant traits be reproduced? How is this genetic...

Hello everyone, I am thinking of getting synthetic grass for a substrate for my two coastals and beardy but am wondering if its good/easy to clean. At the moment I have news paper and it's not the best aesthetically speaking. I am also considering critter crumble but I'm worried about them...

I know its a little early this year (well it is for me) but i was just seeing if anyone has any girls belly up looking like a sausage full of marbles yet? Post pics of your Gravid Girls.. :) So far ive got one mossman stimi who is looking good this season. ill post a pic when she is for sure.

Curious to see how everyone ended up with scalies in their house and at what age. :) For me it is how ancient and different they are, and how successful they have been over millions of years.

I have a spotted python-childrens python and it is going to shed i wonder how long it takes for them to shed.LOL

Hey everyone, I'm new here and have been lurking on this forum for about 4-5 weeks now and decided today was the day to sign up. Recently I've been doing general research on the uptake of having a pet python. The first mistake I made was not realising some species were banned, and how strict...

Hello I'm new to wanting a snake and to the Aussie Pythons & Snakes Forums. I was just wondering if some people with experience could answer me some questions like: Well, I want a python that isn't aggressive and that remains small and thin. Which I've heard are the Childrens Python, Stimsons...

I'm relatively new to keeping reptiles, I've had Kirby for just under a year, and Frodo for about six months. I'm looking forward...

I have lost a member of my snake family this morning, much to my despair. Whilst I am devastated about losing him, I am very curious as to what could have happened for him to die so suddenly. There was no loss of condition No repository issues He was a larger snake 5ft+ with no injuries No...
