I didn't realise that you had seen them first hand mate. I'm the last one to jump on bandwagons, but I'm definitely a big fan...and they don't even have venom!
I double that,imo there isnt anything special at all with them,yes they have a orange chin,yippeee.Paying that sort off $$ i can think off a few snakes i would rather spend my $$$ on.To all those breeding them Congrats,but too me their not as great as others.jonno the Ochre BHP's line is not worth the money ppl pay for them IMO, i've seen more hotter looking normal BHP's .

Guys, it is now time to apologize.
I started this thread as a bit of fun and for a thought provoking exercise.
These are not black-headed pythons, they are unusually marked Woma’s.
It interesting how we over look things because we are already in a particular mind set.
The father of these woma’s is an unusual specimen that displays excess black and some may argue (hyper melanistic). In fact many punters were of the opinion that the Woma father represented a natural hybrid of both species which I discounted based on maximum adult size , ventral and mid-body scales counts, temperament etc. Obviously this logical approach does not prove that I am right though and DNA would be interesting to look at.
Clearly as these hatchlings haven’t had their first shed yet they will look darker than they will actually be but the body markings do look interesting.
Unexpected specimens like these, are some of the reasons I prefer wild caught reptiles.
I hope you had fun with this thread.
Cheers Dave

You might just want to check out the thread by Den " white girl offspring "
If there not your cup of tea thats fine, but im sure theres a few people eating there words that Ochres/Golds are no big deal, not worth the money etc etc.
I was thinking that the other day mate. It's like the people who keep saying that the Dan Gilbertson line striped Diamonds are actually intergrades - just makes them look silly
