I've forked out the money to buy the "Harry Butler - In the wild" complete DVD set and absolutely love it. No hyperbole, no catch words, just a love for the environment and an assumption that the audience is intelligent and wants to learn. Picture quality leaves a lot to be desired though and he...

What’s in it for the other States? When reptile keeping became legal in WA nearly 10 years ago a large number of animals were able to be exported to the other states of Australia. Animals such as: Pilbara Stimson pythons Wheatbelt Stimson Pythons Pilbara Woma’s Pilbara BHP’s Kimberley BHP’s...

I just got my first real bite from Zephyr, my eight-month-old stimmie, if blood is a prerequisite for a proper bite. It was totally my fault for popping something back into her enclosure during a feed. I thought I was safe because she hadn't stretched her jaws, which she normally does before...

Hi everyone i am looking to buy a female olive python to add to my collection. I live in the brisbane area.

Gday i recently bought a new black head hatchling and i have noticed that it wasnt using its tongue as most pythons would. I opened her mouth up and noticed that it was pushed to the side and seemed lifeless. It eats resonably well as it has to have the rat resting on its mouth to grab it. Just...
