I am an animal lover, but my partner is not. but we have come to the conclusion a snake would be an ideal indoor pet for the family. ( we have two large dogs outside) my partner likes the idea of a snake because he hates animals that are in your face such as cats, or the noise of birds...

For the last couple of months, I've been researching other pythons.
As I'd like another on the smallish side, I have narrowed down to these three:
Antaresia perthensis - the Pygmy
Antaresia stimsoni - a stimsons
Antaresia sp.- Pygmy stimsons, banded pygmy
For many years, I've heard some say...
I need help with my blackhead python eggs. They were laid 6 days ago but are gradually shrinking. Colour has remained a good solid white so I assumed they were all good. Humidity tested around 91% the first day but has dropped to 86% there after. I have added some extra water bowls to hopefully...
So I've decided to get an Stimson's Python from a breeder, but want to know what all you guys think of the South Australian Locales?
Also can u guys tell me some of the things I should be asking the breeder about his snakes? and things I need to know before I get her? Any help will be great.
What humidity levels should I have in my incubator for my stimson python eggs?
I'm expecting her to lay any day now.

Anyone that has bred stimmies before, I would like to know what humidity you have in your incubators.

Ok so my yearling stimmy has gone 3 weeks without a feed. He's gone 121 days without a shed. He's always fed perfectly for me every week. None of his conditions have changed. Food size hasn't changed. Tonight I've tried braining his fuzzy rat, tried all his usual techniques of touching his nose...
Hi, myself and my roommate are thinking of getting a Stimson's Python. It would be the first snake either of us have ever owned. I'm sure I'll have more questions later but right now,
What size tank do they need?
What's their lifespan?

Hi everyone,

Hi all, just wandering what the best bedding for a Stimson python is? I am currently using Jungle Earth by exo terra. Is this a good substrate? It's quite sharp and sometimes i get splinters in my hand.
Thanks :)
What tubs are you using for DIY LID LESS racks?
I'm looking for something available in Australia like the Iris cb 70 tubs.
Please post pics if you have a suggestion.
Thanks in advance (or TIA as the nerds say).
Hi everyone, i bought a 6 year old Stimson python and I've had her for about 8 months now and she hasn't been as active as when i first bought her. The temp is sitting around 31-34 at the hot end and around 26-28 at the cool end. She hasn't eaten for about 4 months and I'm just getting worried...

Hey guys I've just bought a second had enclosure (it is quite large picture included).

Hello! Recently I've decided that I would like to own a pet snake in a few years time. The problem is, I have no clue on how to care for them. I'm looking at species like chidren's and stimson's pythons. I also like the Murray Darling pythons too, but they seem too large.
So what sort...
I'm hoping that someone can clear something for me.
In the pygmies, there appears to be a lot of confusion.

I just noticed a few of the texts claim that ovulation in stimsons pythons are either not visible or barely visible. So I thought I would share this pic of an ovulating wheatbelt stimson taken recently for those who haven't seen it as this one was dead obvious.

I just come across my female RSP starting to eat her 24hr old shed ?? I have pic's just after I tried pulled the shed from her mouth so just the piece that was left in her mouth in the pic's.
No one is going to stop the breeding of jags, zebras other cross morphs, so what should be done with the sibs? I personally think that they should be culled, so that these mongrels don't get sold and then passed off as "pure".
