These are 3 wild ones that used to drop by for a feed every couple of weeks in Nelson Bay
2 were females that actually nested in the airing cupboard much to my GFs dismay as they wrecked a few sheets
 
The best way to get rid of them is take everything out of the enclosure clean it all. Spray enclosure (with water bowl out of tank) with Mac mite or top of descent. Give it a good spray.
Set up a click clack, spray with Mac mite. Just set it up with cupboard hides, paper towel and small water bowl. Change the hides every couple of days it means the mites have no were to hide. This should kill all of them in about 2 weeks, but keep treating for a little longer to ensure all the eggs are dead.

I wouldn't use the repti clean mite spray. Do a search there was a old thread on here were that spray poisoned a snake. The Mac spray is good enough to work by itself.

Thanks for that :) All she has in her tank is her water bowl and little cardboard hide. I saw that thread you mentioned months ago when it was put up, and we rang the company who makes it (I thought my MD had mites) and they said not to leave the spray on the snake and make sure you wipe the snake over with a wet cloth. They should have that on the directions on the bottle, not very smart to leave out an important detail like that when it can have such serious consequences.

who bred those males, there very nice

Hi bkevo,

I have a few nice diamonds (like those pictured) that Kieran Aland and i have worked on for a few years now. The male pictured is from the third generation of high yellows we have tinkered with. They are some of my favourite pythons.

Here is one of the old females which is the mother of the previous one i posted. Still very nice at around 11-12 years of age.

Outstanding Yellows mate
 
Very nice diamonds here, they are a gorgeous animal! Here is a photo of the large clutch hatching this year, and some adults.

You'll have to count the eggs LOL!! She laid 50 and 42 survived. 5 slugs, and 3 died in the eggs. Whether they were already dead when i pipped them i am unsure but they looked like they died a few days earlier. One was born with a deformity, it has skin problems.

The rest here are just some wild ones I have either relocated or found.
