so what do you want? A carpet python or a childrens python? If its a carpet python what sort are you looking at? Coastals start at $100 up to over 1k for a good B&W jungle carpet

yea i want a childrens snake not carpet python lol i said i nevr had one b4 hahah

 

[hornet]

lol no worries, it can get confusing with all the different names. Childrens are awsome snake's. I have never kept one but they are the only antaresia i would keep. You should be able to pick them up $200-$300.

Carpet pythons are snakes from the family Morelia. They grow to 2+metres and are a good family snake. They include Murray Darling Carpet, Diamond Python, Centralian Carpet (or Bredli) and Coastal Carpets.

Children's pythons are from a completely different family (Antaresia), and are often generally categorised to include Spotted Pythons, Stimson's Pythons and Children's Pythons. They only grow to around 1m (Spotteds a wee bit bigger)

So firstly decide what snake you are after, then get your enclosure set up and ready, do all your research on how to care for your particular type of snake, ensure that you have your license organised, THEN look online to buy one!

Check out the For Sale section here on APS and www.herptrader.com.au there will be loads of options.
