There are many popular species in captivity coming with a high price tag that many keepers seem to own just to say that they do. It is often assumed that if you don't have them you can't afford them or lack finesse. But... for example, I have no interest in green tree pythons; black headed...
I ran over this snake on the road in the early hours today, didn't see it till the last second. Looking in a book I have here it looks like a Tipan, but the markings don't match what the book has.
Thanks.

Hey Everyone!
I have had my RKL for the past 10 years and have loved owning and looking after my Spotted, Bredli and Diamond Pythons and various lizards!
Im in my final year of University on my way to becoming a science teacher and I have finally got a subject that I wanted to do for ages! Its...
I should be getting a rough scaled pair in a couple of weeks time. For now they will be in click clacks as they are still young but want to plan for their housing as adults. I'm assuming they would like something as for Adult gtps being closely related and arboreal?
hey guys can anyone direct me to some definitive info about roughies ?? ive been doing some research on them but havnt come up with a whole lot?? and is there any breeders anyone would recommend for them?
I recently got my new roughie and am totally wrapped with her.
For the last 7 and a bit months I have been looking after a great mates collection and rodent setup while his in afganistan on active duty with the mentoring task group. I've been telling him how incredable these pythons actually...

Hi guyz, some questions about this gorgeous and maybe rarest morelia ever.
Does someone have pictures of the inside mouth ?? apparently some people describe this snake as the biggest tooth for a non venomous snake !!
Usually everybody think about GTP or corallus caninus, but apparently the...

I don't want to seem stingy. But what's the cheapest reptile to maintain and breed?
I want to start breeding reptiles, not for money or anything, that's why I don't mind if they're cheap. I just like the idea of bringing more herps into the world. I dunno, it just seems like a good...
Many GTP keepers, including Greg Maxwell say the greens do just fine in standard enclosures. i.e. wider than taller. True, they do just fine. My question is - is vertical space and vertical cage furnishings beneficial to them? Climbing up and down is a regular, sometimes daily activity pattern...
my son saw a snake at school again today and swears it was a woma :) , im just wondering what we have around north brisbane that looks simalar ? i was thinking maybe a tiger or keelback but he keeps saying it was a woma , maybe it was some bodys pet .

I'm thinking seriously about buying a snake but not this year because I already own half of Taronga zoo.
I also need to arrange for my basic reptile keepers licence and try to find who I loaned my "keeping reptiles in captivity" book to.

This is just a question of curiosity, but is there a particular snake that is more interesting than other species? By 'interesting' I mean more active, or do bizzare things, avid climbers, 'interesting' in what they do than colouration and things.
Probably a silly question, but thought I'd ask...
I have been reading old posts on this forum for some time, and have decided to finally join. Some blah blah about me, got interested in herping through my job and discovered pythons are the most amazing animals ever!! (Grew up in NZ so no snakes there) Very, very addictive, started with one...
Hey,
I'm still learning the native snake-talk language that you guys speak, and can't figure out some of the short hand names for species of snakes. Here's what I've got so far-
BHP-Black headed Python
GTP-Green tree Python
Here are some I can't figure out:
RBB
Cowley BCH jungle
There are others...

So, I have been loving and raising my little Jungle Python for about 8 months now, and i was reading through the forum, and couldnt work out something.
It seems to me, that the cost of breeding snakes is pretty equal between the species, yet, some pythons are sold for 300 dollars or less...
As most of you are aware im selling my collection of pythons due to work commitments. This has been a very tough decision but i believe my animals deserve the best and i cannot provide that.

Hi,

hi all,
i've been thinking about getting a rough-scaled python for a little while now. but what does one look for in a roughie? what are the desired traits? the only thing i can think of is a distinct contrast between the browns and the creams. but i'd like to know what you guys think.
cheers.
Ok, well I have posted this up before but never got a response probably because my description wasn't the best but hopefully someone can shed some light. My jungle has these 2 marks which honestly looks like scabs would be my best description. In the picture its the one in between her eyes and...
