Thanks for the info guys i got into herps around two years ago after seeing maximus the 6m scrub at currumbin wildlife sanctuary on the gold coast started smallish with a 2.5m coastal and his misus a 6ft jungle cross coastal on the idea of working my way up to a scrubby they were very placid so decided to challenge myself by getting another coastal 2.2m very aggressive and cage defensive that wouldnt eat it took me 6 months of changing climate environment and different foods before i could even touch him without coiling up in attack position and striking turned out to be a lovely snake and i trusted him enough to sell him to a newbie after a year have also had bredlis caramel coastal and a few blueys and beardies i dont have that much experience but definently didnt get pythons to show off to my mates i respect them and they respect me but as it has been said they are very smart and can turn but i love that attitude i have it myself lol and think im ready for one under 2m so i can adjust to this awesome creature just have to keep my dog away from the enclosure as shes a **** stirrer lol i have a very large bird aviary im in the process of repainting and replacing wire with 10mm shatterproof glass all round and heavy duty latches and padlocks with a cedar stain pdf base its 9ft tall 6ft deep and 7ft wide with two extra side cages for 3 entrances instead of one in case the scrubby decides to lie in wait for me to come through the door. whats everyones perspective on this?? also i have seen scrubs ranging from 350 -2000 whats a fair price for hatchlings yearling sub adults and adults?? thanks for reading
