Hi guys. ive had my 12mth old Stimson since the 31st of August. Since having him I've handled him every day (except 2 days after feeds). He fed on pinky rats on the 6/9 and 16/9 but hasn't done a poo yet. I've even let him out on the floor for a good 10minutes as I've read how getting them...

Hi I'm new to owning a snake as a pet. I've had my stimmy for 3 days now. Hes a year old and is in a 2 foot enclosure. I got him out this afternoon for his first handling since coming home with me. I had him out for about 5 mins while I was changing the water and moving his hide(hasn't used it...

I have a stimson python when will it shed its skin?

Hi all, I have a 6 month old Stimson python that is addicted to his hides hole how do I get him to come and say hello without taking the top of the hide?

Hey guys :) my partner just sent me this pic. It's our resident python which has been living in our roof and those of our neighbours for years. This is the first time we've ever seen it properly :) Any idea on what it is? I'm bummed I wasn't there to see it in person. It looks fairly large :)

I have my first 9 month old Stimson and I was wondering, what do people do when the go on holidays. I'm not planning on going on one but just wondering what you do if you go away for a week or 2. My stimson is in a click clack tub 350x240, is this an ok size and at what age should I go bigger...

Is breeding a stimmi x spotted legal, not that i would ever consider breeding that combination its just Ive seen hatchies advertised that are 50/50 stimmi and spotted and ive always thought breeding two separate species was illegal. Can anyone educate me in this matter?

I have a cage subdivided into 60cm by 60cm halves with a strip of heat tape split between the two halves. Half of the heat tape is available on each side. I am looking at a pair of one of the smaller species, probably savu, spotted, or childrens since those are the snakes most available to me...

Hi, I've been on the site for ages, just lurking, but only just recently picked up my first snake. She's a Georgetown Stimpson, apparent birthdate given was "2011" - so pretty broad date range ;) In keeping with suggestions made throughout multiple threads here, I didn't handle her for the...

After nearly 5 months my 3 year old spotty finally ate what was placed in front of him. I was starting to get worried as he was getting skinny. He doesn't really strike but. You have got to hold the rat with tongs and kind of push it into his nose and he opens his mouth and grabs it, kind of...

I'm planning on setting up my adult stimsons python enclosure 900L x 500W x 450H with heating from a radiant heat panel. To those who have experience with these what wattage do you think I'd need? Also, if I mount it on the ceiling of the enclosure and have a basking shelf at whatever distance...

As curiosity has gotten the better of me I thought I would try to post this question as a bit of fun. Do you have a story behind "how" you named your snake? I've seen some pretty interesting names and thought it would be interesting to hear the meanings or stories behind the names. I'll...

Hi I was wondering if you could offer some advise. We have just bought a Stimson python (baby) for my son. We have had it for a week now, and are having some issues. It has become rather snappy and we haven't been able to get it to eat. The breeder was feeding it live pinkies but we haven't...

im a fairly experienced keeper with 5 pythons all up, i have kept carpets and stimsons for over 2 years but recently got my first woma. i know the basics but just after some more info from experienced woma keepers. what temps you prefer? is Humidity an issue? feeding size? i go with 15-25% max...

My son has a Queensland carpet python and it has developed a red rash on its underbelly, can anyone tell me what this is, the cause and treatment, if it is a vet visit where I can take him in adelaide would be good too?:cry:

Just a query as I thought locked actually meant solidly tight no chance of escape lol. So have you had your lovely reptilian escape on you? If so how many times, where did they end up and how locked up tight were the little rascals? :lol:

I am currently looking in to getting a stimson python... I am looking at an enclosure that measures 600 x 400 x 400mm and am wondering what kind of light/heat setup people would recommend?? Thanks heaps

just wondering if any one knows what sort of python this is. im taking a wild guess and say its a coastal carpet? cheers

Finally, I hope you have come this far and question five here puts things into perspective. Please have a say and PM me if you don't want a name next to your voice. I appreciate all you have done! You have all read and many have answered the four questions I have posed to date, there were...

Hi there everyone, this is my first post. i have always wanted a snake and i have 2 empty fish tanks and thought that this was my chance. I have got my reptile license and am now looking for the right species of snake. first question is which tank should i use, and what are some suitable...

Hi all, I'm looking for a young python. I have never had one before, but very keen to learn about them. I don't have my license to own one yet, but I was just curious as to what type of python I should get? I'm looking for a python that doesn't grow too big either. Can anyone help? Thanks :)

Hi everyone I have a childrens python hatchling ( almost 7 months old) She is my first snake, so I am still very much a newbie. At the moment she is in a click clack at around 32°c. I am setting up a small viv for her, but with the heat matt alone(5watt) the temp is only sitting on 22°c. What...

Hi guys, a newbie to the forum but long time reptile lover. Equipped with a great second-hand viv from a friend, i'm finally looking at getting a snake. I'm immediately drawn to the smaller varieties of pythons and after much research have narrowed it down to a wheatbelt stimsons or a...

Hi all. I am new to the forum and new to snakes. I have just got my standard rwl and am looking at getting my first snake. My wife has had some experience with snakes as she worked for WIRES in Sydney before moving to Queensland. I also have a 5 year old son who loves snakes. I am not sure...

Hello again - thanks for all those who are responding. This is my third f five questions and I can see there is some debate and consternation. I was at an expo in Queensland a few years ago and there were a few thousand patrons there including the Parks and Wildlife Service. This Expo had...

So I was looking at my snake and I noticed a patch of his darker colored scale what looks like a heart. I thought it was cool anyone else have any reptiles with cool/unusual patterns?

Hi, I am getting ready for my first snake, a young one. I am setting up a 5 ltr plastic tub with a 5w heat pad and separate thermostat. The heat pad is the clear plastic type which has two black sections in it and a raised plastic piece at one end where the power lead is attached. 1. Does the...

Hey all, thinking of starting out with a snake. What would you recommend that is not aggressive and skittish and wont mind being handled on occasion. I was something that is also pleasant on the eyes, so bright colour/nice markings. Not too large but small like a coral snake or something. Im not...

Was just curious what people know about this as I have been told as they are not a domestic pet and live in containment, like a fish for example that you don't have to declare them on your lease. I only have 1 python so I doubt it would really be a problem and it would be easy to conceal her if...

For about 5 years or so I've been thinking of getting a snake, it's either been no money or household has an issue with snakes, being scared or not pet friendly :/ I'm now in a position to start thinking rather solidly about getting a snake, housemates are awesome with it, won't be moving for a...

I have a trio of stimsons for sale at $600 or nearest REASONABLE offer. There is 1 male and 2 females (not confirmed) and they should be ready for trying to breed next season that's basically it if you have any questions pm here or text or call: 0432015396. I will be uploading pictures with in...

I am going to start making a 6 bank enclosure out od melamine on the weekend. I was wondering what you all think is the best method of heating to use and the best thermostats? Is there a thermostat that I can get that controls them all? I will be getting a sparky to wire it up for me ;)

Hey guys, Just need help. My new enclosures for my two Stimson's are 970Lx570Wx470H. I just need to know what would be a good amount of ventilation. It's between these two, but in white: Sorry no links to non sponsor suppliers Not sure if I'd need two of these ones, if I got them. Also, is...

Hey guys. I've had a 6 month Stimson python for about 3 weeks and he hasn't eaten yet. The pet store sold me a terrible all glass enclosure that fails to keep the heat in sufficiently. I was a told a 75watt ceramic heat emitter would be sufficient however it only reached about 23 degrees. I...

Ra is off to the vet tommorrow to have his lump inspected. (we have a 10.30 appointment) Just wondering if anyone has seen anything like it, im getting really nervous that he might be another cancer victim,....but im really hoping for an infected spur, or swollen sperm duct, or something...

I know its a little early this year (well it is for me) but i was just seeing if anyone has any girls belly up looking like a sausage full of marbles yet? Post pics of your Gravid Girls.. :) So far ive got one mossman stimi who is looking good this season. ill post a pic when she is for sure.

Curious to see how everyone ended up with scalies in their house and at what age. :) For me it is how ancient and different they are, and how successful they have been over millions of years.

Hey guys, I was just curious to as how different Stimsons are to keep compared to Spotteds. I have a spotted at the moment and am looking into another python and my mum will only let me keep "small" pythons. I really love the pattern on the Wheatbelt Stimsons. So any help would be appreciated...

Hey, my adult male stimmy and my juvi male stimmy won't eat and haven't been eating for a few weeks now, I don't know if their hibernating or what but my adult female is eating just fine, anybody have any suggestions on what I could do?

Hi all, I've been reading and researching around, and found a way that seems pretty simple. Can anything go wrong with popping out the hemipenes if it is a boy? It seems less intrusive than probing and seems like it would keep stress to a minimum. The snake I was considering popping was a 7...

Hey guys, I'm new reptiles and also this site. I have bought a new Stimson python and a glass terrarium, unfortunately i was loosing a lot of heat with this enclosure and i have read that a wooden enclosure will be more efficient with less heat loss. I currently have a 100watt ceramic heat...
