    Female Pygmy Stimson Python

    Hey APS, I have been chasing a female Pygmy Stimson Python for awhile now and had no luck finding one. I would prefer 2 years plus of age but will take younger considering how hard they are to find. Will pay more than fair price for the right animals. Thanks. Pm or text/call 0433 469 957

    Hi, my name is Jade. I've just bought a 12 month old female stimsons python. I fed her for the first time tonight and after she ate I noticed the sides of her mouth were purple, is this normal? How often should I handle her and for how long?
