they get bigger than that, closer to the average of Morelia spilota imbricata (Gammons are closer related to imbricata than inlands)or an MD around the 2.3mtr mark,
as for nsw breeders im not sure of many as Gammon's are a fairly new addition to captive keeping and breeding(about 6years)
i know their will be high red gammons being worked on in nsw after December this year and that SXR will not be continuing their
gammon project after Simon and Diane retire.
however the high red line Simon and Diane worked on will not be lost as i am purchasing the very nice high red SXR breeders
should have them in their new home b4 December 5th

Hi KaotikJezta, glad you're pleased with him and that he's settled in well - they are a lovely python indeed and stunning as adults, I will have to take some more photos of my big female as she has recently shed.

 

[KaotikJezta]

Thanks Axeman, looking forward to seeing the pics.

Just got my girl Gammon Ranges, her name is Fifi (name thanks to my GF, let her name her since its an early Christmas present) i will share some pic's in a few days once she has settled in

I bought 5 Gammon Ranges Carpets from Axeman, and one turned out to be a high red specimen. Its a keeper for sure, as are all the siblings. They are just so hard to find in the wild up in the ranges, and we have a WC (on permit) adult at our zoo here in SA. The Gammon Ranges form are actually quite different in colour and pattern to the population in the southern end of the Flinders Ranges.
