Hi , I'm new here.
I'm a guy in my 40's that's been a snake fan for 30 years & with the exeption of Grass Snakes as a kid in England , have never owned a snake. I'm now ready to buy a python (or two).
Although it seems that it's not one of the advised pythons for someone starting up , I'm really taken with the Darwin Carpets (M.variegata).
I'm Interested to hear points of view you guys may have .
A question I want to throw in (probably naively) is :
Why aren't 'white lipped' avilable or present anywhere ?
If they're endemic to the Torres straight Islands , doesn't that make them 'Australian' & not an exotic , or are there other reasons that I'm not aware yet ?
Cheers , Natrix.
