I read through keeping and breeding australian pythons and it has a section on olive pythons and it has a list of sicknesses that they get. Do they get sick easily? or is that just an unlucky clutch of eggs? sorry for being off-topic and not posting a pic of an olive.
 
heres a pic i took of this evil snake :)

From what I understand of that article, which I have read several times, it was specific to that colony of olives, their conditions and food source. Don't worry olives can take a lot of punishment, their built like tanks

It appears colour changes with size or perhaps maturity. The animal pictured was 4.5 kilos at 15 months of age and as you say looks white instead of cream. The animal mated at 18 monthes although did not concieve so it is possibly immature. There are lots of matings in mature animals which dont result in fertile eggs. That is the challenge of reliably breeding Olives.

They certainly dont muck around when it comes to growing,i gather theres no difference with normals-albinos.So in your opinion do you think in this case it was more its size than its age when it came to mating,was the partner a defiant breeder,or first timers for both..Either way its a very impressive animal,i just love the pure white....As far as im concerned its like having a Rolls Royce or a Volkswagon.....MARK
