Hello! I found this python in SE Queensland(Tiaro). The nearby habitat was mostly Eucalyptus forest, but I found it stuck in a bird aviary and released it back to nature. It was 60-70 cm long, bright orange, almost patternless and with a darker head. I have been here many times before but never...

I am a big fan of comparing certain species of snakes. I have researched infrared/thermal detection between some of the boa constrictors here in the Americas compared to some of the pythons with visible heat pits by reading studies, and I've observed activity levels between my boa and other two...

Sadly, most of the US forums are dead. I think Facebook has taken the life of so many great conversation areas that are specific to some type of hobby, but it appears this forum is still going fairly strong, at least by comparison. I think the best place to ask this question is here, because...

Hi all I am finally going to buy my boys the python they have been asking for. I have applied for a Cat 3 license. How long does this usually take to arrive? I understand the Stimson or SW Carpet are the best bet for a first snake I understand the SWCP grows a little bigger than the Stimson...

My Carpet Python... He usually gets three medium or large rats. Would one jumbo be too much? There is a bit of a difference between L and jumbo... (I've only just got him back after a long holiday away from me and I think he was underfed.) Thanks...

I'm curious to know what some of you field herping folks have witnessed or learned about the scrub python's natural feeding habits. Oddly, when researching large constrictors, scrubs and olives seem to be forgotten, and the banter usually is about reticulated pythons, Burms, and African rocks...

I spotted this beauty today while kayak today. I noticed he/he was in Shed so I didnt harass it to much. Is it just a regular Carpet Python or is there a special name for this colour? All the others I have seen have note red/brown in them. But this one was more grey. Or maybe the colour was...

So I picked up what was sold to me as a coastal got home and it's pretty much identical to my bredli's is it possible for a coastal to look identical to bredli's or would you say it was 100% bredli

Hey everyone! I've already taken this guy to two very reputable vets, my setup is fine and I'm not a novice keeper. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any expererience with this. Apparently due to a minor respiratory infection which is now taken care of, he decided to not shed at all and this...

Over the last few years there has been a few coastal's that have been called "possible anery's" I was under the impression that snakes that lacked/reduced yellow pigment ( coastal's, jungles, ball pythons etc) were called axanthics and snakes lacking red pigment ( corns, boas etc) were called...
