Thanks for the update Nick; I forgot to ask, how's the old guy going?

Stunning Panoptes Farma, they certainly are a very impressive animal!
 
female bells seem to be hard to come by especially nice clean ones
id like to stay with the same line also so i will have to wait until next season and see what comes up
 
Great thread everyone! Some very nice specimens all round.

Here"s some of my little guy, Sleepy.

Hope this dosen't offend, but, here's a pic of the biggest Panoptes I've ever seen, unfortunately, it was already "lunch" when I arrived:(. As a comparison, my nephew at the time was 5'11" in the old scale.
 
Used to see that size all the time on the Mary. Wildman, Alligators SE&W, Adelaide, Finnis and Daly river floodplains before the toads arrived. I havent seen a big one for years. Guess they dont learn as quickly as the Mertens.

Here's the little guys I've been finding lately in big numbers around southern VRD,

Hopefully, there's still a few of these big fellas around, as this was taken at "parry's Lagoon", just outside Wyndham (East Kimberley). Probably not for long, though!

Unfortunately, I had too many males and had to part with a couple. The old guy was one of them. It was a tough decision but it had to be done. He is still down here in the Illawarra with an experienced keeper, and as far as I know he is in a spacious outdoor pit, so I'm sure he is content. I also parted with all my pythons (except a pair of olives which may go later this year) because I just couldn't afford to keep them anymore and was losing interest in them.

It will just be lacies for me from now on.

Jeremy, very cool photo!
