Im pretty new to this herping thing but absolutely loving it, and loving learning from the experienced and knowledgable people on this site. My wife (rett82) has a bredli carpet python that we love, and this has sparked an interest in reptiles for us both. I have been a very keen fisherman all...

Looking to buy a Murray Darling carpet, prefferably not over 1.5 years of age but depends. Must be a good handler, would prefer people close to Robina on the Gold Coast as I would rather pick up or meet half way than pay freight. Must be on licence. Contact: 0422291332 or...

Earlier this year I purchased an Inland/ Murray Darling carpet python (M.s. metcalfei) of a 'black and silver' Victorian bloodline. The specimen is growing well and has bold markings, but it seems that it is developing a tan/ maroon/ reddish colouration on its flanks and lower dorsal surface...

Favourite snake among those stolen from park | Herald Sun The worst thing about people like this, is that they probably have no idea how to care for the snake. one can only hope that "Melanie" is warm and safe, despite being away from home. Somehow, i doubt it though. Take note of the last...

Hi, Im currently looking after the bredli python hybrid in our science room at school. I've only been at that school for 3 months now, and i've grown quite fond of that snake and decided that his home looks a little dull. There's only butcher paper on the floor and a little hide made from thick...

I know sheds can vary, but I am just curious. I think my bredli is going into her first shed since I have had her. She has been coiled up (which is abnormal for her) on the ground for the past few days and hiding her head in thecoils. Her eyes are not yet opaque. Does this sound like shedding...

Hi, I live in Adelaide and would like to buy a Murray Darling Carpet Python, Do I need a permit to buy from a pet store and own one snake? Is a heat mat better then a ceramic heater? The enclosure is about 1.2mtrs x 1.2mtrs x 440mm deep. Also what is the differance between a Yearling and a...

Hey, I've been looking at getting a snake or two for ages, just your regular carpet pythons, maybe the ones from the Murray Darling region, and I was wondering what sort of equipment and everything I need to know, before I start, only thing I know is about needing a license :?

Hi, I bought my first Murray Darling Carpet Python in June 2007, he was 5 months old and we named him Zorro. I would have to say that M.D's are great snakes and are probably one of the most under rated snakes, as they are affordable, grow to a decent size, look nice and are generally placid...

Hi, we've managed to locate locally a male EWD and have sourced a female in brisbane but would like to hear some feed back on the pros and cons of air freighting before we commit. ...she's only a yearling and the flight (inc handeling) would be about 3hrs... anyone? :lol:

I was thinging about getting an Inland carpet python as a first snake but i have dogs. would this be a problem, as long as i kept the snake in my room while it was out? All my dogs are obedient/ calm.

Got this big guy in the DECC ballot last week. I got him checked by a specialist vet who used the term pin-headed with reference to his size. I thought he was a bit heavy, but not pin-headed. He is 1.25 kg and 1.4 m long (1.32 m SVL). Very healthy except for some worms which I'm treating...
