Info req'd ; smallest Childrens pythons

[Gunnie]

Hi folks,

was listening to a guy today and he mentioned a variety of Childrens which comes from a very limited region in the north. They don't grow much more than 800mm.
Can anyone please shed some more light on this for me.
I was struck by the variety of colour phases in the Childrens, Macs & Stimsons. Would make for an interesting specialisation.

Thanks

Pygmy Pythons (Antaresia perthensis)

All childreni come from the north or across the top of Australia , most will max out at 700-800mm.

There is the perthensis which is very small , but it does not come from up north.

Interesting snakebag. Any pics of them? What do they look like as compared to the 'usual' colours of Childrens? Any specifics pertaiing to them or availability?

check out the anthill python. I think they are priced at 1200 each. They are the smallest python in the world and Australian

Ill get some pics tommorrow. They have a coffee coloured banded pattern that staggers in the middle of their back. Will put them together this season.
