Hello verybody, i would really like to see lots of pictures and videos of your southwest carpet pythons as it can be a little difficult finding any decent photos online. I'd really enjoy seeing your babies being handled, fed, basking, sleeping, skin pattern, cage setup etc :) thanks so much. i...

A friend of mine an I are going into business breeding snakes, because they have all the experience, and I am still new to snake owning, I need info. Does anyone know of any sites with comprehensive lists on Carpet Python types, specifically Morelia Spilota species and also breeding terms and...

hi everyone, this is my first post to this website so it will be nice to see if people respond. I've just bought a 2 and half year old SW carpet and he's in the same enclosure he was in there, so he's used to the environment. The woman i bought him off said he eats well, and handles well...

Why are there so many people selling WA snakes over east and none selling in WA? How come you guys can get our snakes but we can't have yours? Can I get one from you if its originally from here? Doubt it. I have only find a couple of reptile-only sellers from WA (minus pet shops) with very...

Hey guys, I'm currently developing an app for iphones/ipods etc about reptiles, and without giving away too much, we are trying to make it as extensive as possible, with locational features etc (to apply the same features for overseas users) I thought I would put a post up here to see what...

My husband and I are moving to WA, but I have just been told by Domestic Quarantine that my Bredli Python, Grinner, isn't allowed into WA. Is this right? Is there no way that I can bring my much loved pet into WA? The man on the phone told me "Well atleast you know now and have time to give him...

how long should a 12 month year old carpet python be

Hey guys, You all seem like a helpful bunch, so I have a question. January this year (Don't remember the exact date, very early in the month though), I bought a spotted python and haven't had a single drama with him(her maybe?) in any way, shape or form. Eats well, is active, inquisitive and...

Hi everyone.. I realise some may find this laughable, but I have a 2 year old southwestern carpet python who i've had since she was 3 months old. I copped a few insignificant tags when she was small, then she quietened down. Lately she's been a nightmare to get out of her cage. She 'S'es right...

I didn't want to steal another thread (where do they came from) but the last few posts raised some questions and thoughts. What conservation value do captive reptiles have? They can never be released to the wild (not the ones we keep and breed anyway), so how are we contributing to...

Here you can see some new photos of my 2 13 month old NT phase Olive Pythons both having a feed, the male had 1 slightly small weaner rat, the female had 1 large weaner rat. l sat next to their enclosure to make sure neither of them would attack each other, as soon as one finished feeding before...

Hi, Before I start, please don't yell at me if I'm about to put my foot in it... I read on the Wildlife Licencing Guidelin from DERM that it is prohibited in Qld to knowingly breed hybrids or mutants. This has come directly from the DERM website. Can I breed animals? A person who holds a...

Hi, have just bought my first South Western Carpet Python a couple of days ago. We fed it for the first time on Thursday and he still hasn't digested the food yet, what i was wondering is can we still take him out and handle him even if he is still digesting?

Hi Guys. I'm moving to Perth from Adelaide and I wanted to know if I can take her with me? Cheers.

My 3yo Southwestern Carpet python will go right up to his uv light and stare at it for ages he pushes against the cover around it with his face to get closer to it and just stares.... Is this normal?

Hi, I have recently been trying to get my python into the bromation cycle over winter but he doesn't seem to be getting any less active. He is a South western carpet python and is 2yrs 5months old (4-5ft). Over about 2 weeks i slowly reduced the time that the heat lamp is on during the night...

So, as some of you may be aware, a little while ago we embarked on a project to build our Cleo her own 5 star vivarium. We have finally completed the background and are ready to install the heat lamps, thermometers etc. We are using dark grey marine carpet for the flooring and will obviously be...

Was at work today and heard a guy talking about his SWCP. He was telling this guy that it was a 4 year old and that it weighed 8 kilos and was about 100mm thick. He was wanting to find a male to breed with. Is this weight right? sounds to me like he was talking it up just a little or do i...

Google didn't cut it, so I'm asking the true experts here ;). How many species of native python does Australia have? We had a lecturer in last week who claimed 16, but I got more than that off the top of my head, and then less if I didn't count subspecies. I don't doubt him, but I was...
