they are the same as any other terrestrial python and smell the same.yes they are a bit cranky as hatchlings, but thats natural... who would want some big bugger grabbing you?

They are a pleasure to keep and breed, a very underated specie in my opinion.

They change from light to dark fairly often, sometimes mine have been lighter than that first photo of Matt's other times they're similar to the next photo.
That's actually the same snake
SERIOUS!!!....man i would never have thought that was the same snake....i used to have a female water python but she never changed her colour darkness....im planning to get a pair of waters early next year ....awesome snakes

Of course there is good and bad in individuals. We have a male, very, very placid Qld form. He is very active at present but he is looking for some action. We believe his age to be 7-8 years old and is 7ft 5in or 226cm. I will try and find a picture that shows his size. Have heaps but not showing size in relation to something else. We also have a hatchy who is about 2-3ft and can be a little snappy.
Definitely an underrated species

Ive kept my adults in 4x2x2 enclosures, keep them just the same as any other python (that isn't a specialist species).
I'm also chasing a NT male if anyone has one?

Vast majority of waters like to swim so 4x2x2 seems a bit small for adults
Can have a much muskier odour than other reps
[ similar to slatey greys]
Strong snake that will colour change beautifully if taken into direct sunlight regularly

One of my favorite snakes, we use them for most of our events and find if they are treated well from a young age they are fantastic handling snakes. Great snakes
I've never had waters that smell any different to other pythons and when offered large areas to swim in they never utulized it, now there is just a large water bowl and I've still never seen a water venture into it.
