Have fun. I don't think anything prepares you for an olive. A word of advice, they grow FAST. Ours was almost two metres long before it's second birthday. Good luck with the het, The only way I'd own an olive again would be if it was an albino

Olives are great, mine is about a year old and is very gentle and very active, he moves around more than all my other snakes do, he's very interesting to watch. Good luck with your new baby, looking forward to seeing the pics

Krissy78,Congratulations on getting your Olive Python's, l sure you will become very attached to them both as they grow, and you get to know them and they both get to know you as their keeper.
Like a few others have said they can grow very fast, one-day they will both be the same size to this one you see here in my photo, which is 12 foot long & 16 kilograms in weight, this use to be my very first female Olive Python that l got in July 2000 when she was 8 months old and 4 foot long.
l now own 4 Olive Python's which l got hold of on the 28th August 2010, 2 were collected on permit from the wild and the other 2 are captive breed by the same person that l got the 2 wild caught Olives from in Northern Territory.
l to love my Olive Python's and Woma's and could not see myself wanting to keep any other Australian Python's at all.
May l wish you the best of luck in raising your 2 Olive Python's and hope one-day you get to breed from them both.
