Latest adition! Always wanted one ...

[Trouble]

Now I finally have one !!!

Today, I became the proud owner of a gorgeous yearling male Olive.
I bought him from Reedy's Reptiles, and David is perfect to deal with. He is very understanding, and very helpful with anything you need to know.
I had an easy experience with the Brisbane AAE as well. Helpful guys there

Okay, on to pictures
I haven't come up with a name for him yet. He's quite timid, but he did fly all the way from the NT over night. .. I'll take some better pics once he's settled in and had his first feed. There is a hide in there, but I took it out for the shots.
Until then, here are some pics of the great little guy

Looks like a ripper! I hope he's a nice calm one.
I love Olive Pythons. My pair are approaching nine feet and the super placid female is definately my favourite python.

 

[SYNeR]

Wow, he's beautiful. I don't think I could handle one though. Maybe when they're small, but once they start to grow a bit.. eeek.

The OP has already stated that the Olive is a yearling.

Thanks guys for the lovely comments I'm so happy with him!! They're great little guys, and feel a lot different compared to my other pythons.
hehe Yeah I can't wait for his growth spurts.. I can't grow him too quick though, parents need time to get use to the idea of how big they get lol

666PYTHON - Yeah, he's a yearling.

 

[Carnelian]

Aww what a cutie, Congrats on the new addition.

We are getting our little 5 month old Olive on the 26th, really excited & can't wait. We have always wanted one.

 

[JimWetherall]

Awesome new addition!

 

[Snakewoman]

He's gorgeous! Olives are great snakes, mine is about a year old, and he's very placid and a great feeder, they LOVE food He's much more active than my other snakes, always slithering around. Watching them grow is great, I love the big ones

 

[mje772003]

I so can't wait to get my water python after winter and shortly after an olive possibly late this year or early next year


Cheers Matt

You would have to be happy with that, he's georgous.

 

[guzzo]

[moosenoose]

I've seen some ripper sized Olives! I'm sure this one given some time will be no different, and no less spectacular! Enjoy and congrates

 

[Trouble]

Thanks again guys!! I can't wait until he gets bigger, but hopefully I can settle him down a bit before then :lol:
Guzzo, if you're looking at getting one, I definitely recommend getting one of his sisters' from Reedy's Reptiles they're great looking snakes.
Darkhorse - hehe I guess we've both got snakes now that we can be envious of

Thanks again guys for the lovely comments
