Does anyone know of any internet sites that have diagrams of the head scalation of different antaresia species (childrens, spotted, stimsons ETC)
 
I'm excited now!!

The female is a stimsoni

I think i must have made a mistake-the males head scalation is that of perthensis-the pygmy python

I got my mum to match up the head scalation of the male and she also said it looked most like petrhensis
 
What did you write it down in your lisence what will you do now?
 
:shock: it probably isnt a perthensis judging by how much it cost you and how rare they are but anything is possible.
except growing feathers and flying :cry:
:D
 
Alexahnder,
If you can post a pic,preferably a close up we will be able to tell you what you have there.

cheers M.......
 
spotty identification

if you could post a pic of the animal full stop..
pygmy pythons are a little differant visually so not that hard to pick from a stimmy or maccy for example.
cheers paul.
 
Perthensis do look quite a bit different from the others.
You can also count midbody scales. Perthensis has fewer mid-body scales
than all similar pythons (31-35 vs 37 or more).
