My 3 year old son was being a bit of a brat, so my partner said to him I hope you have kids just like you when your older...to which my son sarcastically laughed then replied: No dad, I'm gonna get bigger and I'm gonna have a lizard... I found it amusing and thought you guys might enjoy...

Hello, Well a couple of weeks ago the neighbour bought me 2 hatchlings and he forgot what they were. They are definitely a Morelia species with yellow-ish eyes and a very dark coastal carpet/scrubby pattern. They are only about 25cm long. Any ideas?

Has anyone lost a snake around brisbane and suburbs say in the last 2 months? I wont say what suburb or what type of snake as this will act as proof that it is yours. Cracks

I hope a special thread hasn't been done for these little guys and l know quite a few have them so l thought it would be good to see all the colour/pattern variations would be good. l have cut and pasted a map of their distribution with the approval of Pilbara Pythons for those not sure of...

My stimson's python seems to be quite small for his age, when I brought him they were unsure of his age but going off the feed records they gave me I place him at about 18 months old, but he's only about 40cm's long and not very thick either. He's healthy, rarely refuses a feed, pooping...

I am becoming very interested in the Pygmy Python. Before I go and start searching for available specimens, I thought I would try and obtain some opinions from within the APS wealth of knowledge..... Has anyone here kept the species? Are they hardy in captivity? Easy feeders & handlers? Any...

Ok, every single snake person on this site is going to hate me for posting this question, but I can't seem to find any reasonable answers by just looking. So here goes - What's the difference between scrubbies, diamonds, coastals, carpets, and spotteds, besides location? See, I knew you would...

Here is a couple of pics of D.E.C officers taking close to 100 mouth swabs of my Woma’s and Black-headed pythons for DNA analysis. This is primarily to get a data base and to establish whether there has been legitimate bleedings. The Western Australian D.E.C currently lead the country in this...

I thought I'd just start a thread asking which new species added to the Victorian licenses do people want to now get (in an ideal world)? I think maybe just keep it to your top 2, or else we could have some long lists, lol. Here is a reminder of what they are: As of the first of October 2009...
