    Pygmy Pythons and Stimsons

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anybody had an Ant or Pygmy Stimson they'd be willing to part with, over the age of three months. I love how these snakes look, but know both can be scarce around these parts. Thanks in advance :)

    Hi, I've had a Pygmy Python for about 9 months now, and it's never had a problem with handling. Over the last two weeks, though, it's started striking whenever a hand goes near it, it's been fed twice in the time, any idea why there's been this sudden change in behaviour?
