Hi, I made a thread a little while ago, about my female Stimson Pyhton going around her cage cover, She isn't doing it anymore. However. . Now my male Stimson Pyhton is doing it? lol. It's weird, as none of my other snakes do it - Just the Stimson Pythons. :?, Chris

I am going to buy another spotted. Then maybe after I finish studying I'll go something a little bigger.... but not sure hubby will let me :D

just put in what type of reptile it is, male or female and its name:D i did this on another forum and got quite a lot of replies

it is obvious that there will be a continual decline in herp prices, as proved in resent events:lol: .......what i would like to know is when all of our top end native species have been acquired by the average herper ,which will be the next big thing???? dont get me wrong ,im not in this game...

If you had $50,000 - $70,000 to invest into snakes what would you get and why. For furture breeding and of course profit..... if you bought hatchlings now what would people want and for what price in 3 - 4 years time. Would love to hear some opinions. Mrs I xxx

Hi mates, I've found a thread about this last (un)known python, where Samatha Gow wrote about the chance to tell the whole story about the discovery of Morelia oenpelliensis. That thread is now "closed", what is the chance to keep in touch with her and know as the facts went? Thanks a lot...

You will not get them legally! There was 2 on the books in NSW declared at amnesty along time ago. On top of that they were both the same sex. This means there will be no-more anywhere unless they change the rules!

hello fellow herps :D i was thinking about snakes we dont usually talk about, then ooenpelli python came to mind. so, i want to know everything :P who owns any? who loves them? temprement? anything! so everyone can have a say. ooenpelli power! REGARDS Nat ;)

Are these kept in captivity? If so I would imagine they are worth a FOOORRRTUUNE!! But if anyone has any cool pictures of them, could you post? There's only so much Google can do. Also how big do they get?

Inspired by Mr.Spike's Nephrurus Thread, I thought I would post a thread where everybody can share their Oedura Species and their Set-up pics. I am Particularly interested in: O.Castelnaui (Northerns), Top End O.Marmorata (Fat Tailed Marbleds), O.Tryoni (WR Southern Spotteds) and O.Coggeri...

Snake Ranch - John Weigel, Gavin Bedford and The Dad - is the major sponsor of May's reptile expo at Castle Hill. I will be taking Buttermilk, my albino olive bred by Gavin, and there will no doubt be a Rough Scaled Python or two there also. What else would you like to see?

The attached URL is a scan of a photo I have at home. The parchment in the back of the photo reads as follows. " 18 foot Rock Python after swallowing a 170 lb kangaroo. 'Crendon' Maxwellton, N.QLD 1924" Looks like an Olive to me. 170lbs = 77 kg, that's pretty big...

Hi, I'm on the look out to get a colony (4 or 5) of Egernia's ie depressa,stokesii, hosmeri or cunninghams (New England form). A clutch brood would be a good way to start a colony but if any one has older individuals that live amicably together that would be fine too. Bob

Melgalea's thred of her great day out inspired me to share with you these pics, of me and work mates, helping the staff at the park handle and prep 150 crocs for transport. It was a hot day and hard work the crocs are stunned then tied for safety but they all wake up on the inspection table so...
