Purple Albino Reticulated Python - [Pic Heavy]

[MarkJD]

Hi All,

Just throwing up some pictures of this guy. He is a male and i got him in November 2009. Was hatched by Bob Clark in late July 2009.

Ill start with the photos from when i got him and work my way through so you can see the growth, also included some feeding shots, hopefully thats ok? There are loads.

[MarkJD]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Dont be silly Leprechaun has its magic & wonder! Snake has no chance

I am ready but due to my focus currently being on the BHP's i will be selling this guy on in the near future. I really love this snake and have loved seeing him grow and learning all i can about the species but i want to focus on the BHPs and going forward will be dealing only with melanocephalus species.

Oh my!! I want one!!!!! Gorgeous gorgeous python!!!!!

 

[python_boy]

how much do those go for over there?

 

[Smithers]

it's the local reptile shop not having goats to feed him isn't it... Hope the BHP project is a hit Mark.

Cheers guys!

@ python_boy - When i got this guy i had to source him in the US were it was brought to the UK as they were not readily available, at the time he cost me €800.00 ~ I know now of a few who are selling them in Ireland and there are a few who are in a position to possibly breed them. Recently iv seen the purples priced at €600-€650 and then the lavenders and white phase being slightly cheaper.

@ Smithers - Ok you got me, i cleared the country out of sheep and they just werent cutting it for the retic anymore. No goats im afraid but i hear you guys have lots and lots of sheep over there! Thanks i do too im looking forward to the challenege and then hopefully venturing into some axanthics or other morphs when they become more readily available.

Actually... I've changed my mind, I don't want one. Just looked at it on Wikipedia and I would be too worried about it escaping and eating my son :/

But a beautiful python never-the-less!!
