stimson python

Hey all, I have an 18-month-old Stimmie (I say 18 months, honestly she could be anywhere from a year to two years, the pet store I got her from couldn't really give me an age) who is doing really well and growing like a weed. She's 150ish grams and probably about 60cm. I'm going to be moving...

I feel terrible, I’ve been away from home a lot the past few months so I haven’t been handling / checking her physical condition regularly. I have discovered some discolouration on her scales, it looks pretty bad but not oozing or anything, it’s dry and I’m worried it might be scale rot, or...

I’m looking to get my first snake or two, a baby stimson’s python. At the moment I am looking to find any breeders within the Rockhampton region, QLD. If shipping is possible I’d also be willing to look into that. I’m looking to get either one or two under a year old. I am a complete beginner...

Hey guys, Recently got a year old, female stimsons python (Maze). She is highly active and eats easliy, although i have noticed discolouration on her under belly and under neck regions. I assumed it was scale burn or rot since it was the closest comparison i could find and this morning found...

Hi everyone, I'm just doing a bit of research to see what species you can own in Queensland. I've found that you can own a Spotted Python and a Children's Python with a Recreational Wildlife licence (on the Qld Govt website), but Stimson's Pythons were not listed and could not find any...

Hi, it’s my first time having a snake. I would just like to know, how do I get him out of biting. Every time I pick him up, except for once, he tries to bite me. I’ve had him for about 2 and a half days. I’ve only been trying to take him out a maximum of 2 times a day.

Hi all, I am upgrading my enclosure for my Stimson Python and the new height will be 60cm (2ft), so the thing I am most concerned about is what new heat lamp to use due to the large height gap between light and reptile. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. P.S The enclosure is wooden.

As I wait for my license to arrive I've been doing my research (this weekend I'm going to visit a couple of reptile sellers). In the book "Keeping & Breeding Australian Pythons" it's mentioned a suitable substrate for a stimmies is marine gravel or newspaper. I'm keen to read people's thoughts...

Hi, I have a 4 year old female Stimson Python who eats regularly and well. She suddenly wouldn't take her two mice one day, and I thought OK, I'll just try her next week. The next week she was prowling her enclosure looking for dinner and she took two mice instantly. Then the next day she was...

My Stimson Python (aged 3 1/2 yrs) has been looking and acting kind of weird. I noticed last night that the way he was laying made his head look weird, like i honestly thought he was dead cause his head was on such an angle. He's been laying in the same spot for the past couple days. I checked...
