You'll need to post pics to get a definitive answer.

Everyone can help - this is a very simple matter.

If you want help, post the pictures. If not, don't.

living jungle in melbourne thanks khagan ills end them accross now , im sorry aslan but if people bloody read then i may get some help , everyone else seems to have no problems reading


i paid 600 for it but even the people there where very unclear and had suspicions it was an olive i would not have normally bought anything from a store , but i figured the snake was in good health and looked perfect so with a bti of confident handling it would come up great guns

it is 5 and a bit foot

 

[scorps]

Well If it is an olive you got i for an average price but if you payed 600 dollars for a water python I would say thats a bit over priced.

 

[kupper]

good python good sized and figured at a store i was going to pay a bit more but i can see where your coming from

scorps you have adult waters they are intense yellow on there base and generally sparkle when put in uv or direct sunlight?

can you post some pics of your adults

 

[kupper]

hey greebo it had just come out of a shed freshly shed skin in its enclosure , id been eyeing it off for a week before i grabbed it

 

[DanTheMan]

Its an Olive Python alright
I cant upload the pics either, invalid format. Will keep trying though so every one else can see.

 

[kupper]

see i figured it was its not dark at all hence the reason i paid the money for it but i will definantly like to hear form a few more people thanks to all that emailed there help ill get the pics to you asap

 

[kupper]

oww and thanks dan much appreciated

 

[gravitation]

I'd much prefer an olive, you got lucky! haha.
But no seriously, you should go back and confront them if you are unhappy, but just make sure you do know it's an olive.

 

[kupper]

im more than happy i figured it was an olive otherwise it would not have got a second visit , even the girl thought it was an olive but her boss and the customer they bought it off said otherwise , i suppose the next step is to get it sexed but i do need some more input not doubting dan as i was already 80% sure it was an olive but just as a definant clear cut answer

but im stoked any one in melbourne good at sexing snakes that bite LOL

 

[No-two]

Nice olive What a shame, waters are much better snakes

 

[snakehandler]

Now you have a problem......bought a water, apparently own an olive....paperwork will not match!

 

[kupper]

ill be chatting with them about what they would like to do

 

[kupper]

they will organise to have it changed into an olive on there end

so now i need the blighter sexed any takers?
