morelia oenpelliensis

So I was searching on the classifieds looking for some albino Darwin's, anyway besides the point, I came across an add for 100% het for albino blackheaded pythons? Their asking price for a pair of said animals was 18,000 !!!! Im still new to this seen but wow that's expensive! Would it be a...

I am going to be in and around Darwin in may for 1-2 weeks, I am trying to work out a plan for things to do. Anything you guys would recommend as a must do, probably getting a hire car so even a bit of traveling would be great. I will be having a look around kakadu national park and going to...

Now, I don't know if this has been done before so forgive me if it has. Also, this is strictly an opinion-based thread so there is no need to get all "huffy and puffy" and cause a virtual riot. In light of recent... stories in regards to smuggling and illegal removal of herpetofauna from the...

I was in my local aquarium today and seen a 2m long black headed python and instantly fell in love.. The way they move just has that special feel about it, just want to hug em and give the buggers a kiss :lol: Whats your dream snake? also held a bredli, the snake im getting soon, was pretty cool :)

I just love the fact that so many people that support the making these 'Morelia milkshakes' use to openly appose hybrids. I like the look of a good looking jag but after only a few years I have no trust in the 'Morelia market'. I'm already doubting purity from some of the 'big breeders'... said...

HI everyone there have been a few threads about this python....i just cant seem to find any really good pics that capture what it really looks like....there just seems to be heaps of variation in colour can someone point me in the direction of some good pics and websites that explain this...

Hi guys, I have been looking to buy a Oenpelli python but haven't had much luck finding someone willing to sell. What are the going rates for one of these stunning animals? Has anyone had any experience with them? I hear they are challenging but very rewarding if cared for in the correct way...

Felt a bit bad after Grannieannies post on the profile looking subject. Actually looked at mine and discovered a huge disparity between likes given and received. So I decided I'd be more likely to click those buttons if they represented what I thought. So here are some ideas for new buttons...

Hi I'm charmaine and I'm new here. I turned 20 yesterday and my mum agreed to my fiancée getting me a pet snake. We already applied for a license so were just waiting for that to go through and we'll be all set. The question now, what do you think is the best kind of snake to start off with...

Just wondering peoples thoughts on as the title suggests? If we have a stubborn problem feeder that would not last long in the wild, eventually get it going (remains smaller compared to other sibs), breed it even with another past problem feeder, would this make more weaker snakes down the...

Someone I know hatched these out this year. These very weird carpets are incredibly unique. The whole clutch turned out like this, so it's most likely a new genetic trait. These are in Australia. And thats all the info I can put out... speculate away ;)

If a seller is rude does it put you off? I guess it comes down to plain old customer service! just yesterday I dealt with a seller who was very blunt and quite rude in his responses to me in regards to the animal I was looking to buy. He made it sound like I was bothering him by asking...

What is this one called?

There must be something about the weather atm that our drunk friends love (legless... get it? No? Wow tough crowd!). Another Burtons in a completely different area. This one was in Kakadu, from that side they seem to have a more prominent white stripe. I also found this fella back in...

Managed to get 4 days up on the Arnhem Land plateau during the previous week. Only really had the evenings to get out and about taking herp photos. So while the others were sitting around the campfire or turning in early for the night I was prowling around in the dark. It was surprising how...

OMG third attempt at posting this thread! I haven't seen a wild one of these in the NT since the toad moved in, which in Oenpelli was over 10 years ago. Unfortunately this fella had been shot early the morning that i was told about it. I didn't beleive it was a mulga until i saw it. Couldn't...

Everybody interested in conservation and animal keeping / breeding should listen to this program. Greg Miles, Mike Archer and Rosie Cooney discuss the state of our mismanaged wildlife and reptile keeper's (i.e. us) contributions to the body of knowledge about reptiles and our role in...

We often hear people talking about their "breeding programs" and I wonder if, especially those new to the hobby, know what it means and what it entails. Most Zoos prepare well structured and detailed breeding programs as such are often submitted to attract funding. That's not the case in the...

Just got told about this.. Approved Programs - Newsletters - Natural Resources, Environment and The Arts
