Hi snakes123, if this is your first python, a word of caution. Darwin, or top-end pythons, can be somewhat highly strung compared to the more eastern pythons. I do find that the hotter the climate, ie, your scrubbies, jungles and GTPs, the more fidgety they can be, and therefore, prone to snapping. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule.
I also agree that Mike Swan's book 'Keeping and breeding Australian pythons' is by far the best book around.
