Unfortunetly where i live it's a bit desert....

But i read something about morelia carinata from John Weigel, so try to get that, full of good informations.

If you don't find anybook, articles... i can try to sum up what i read to have give you some informations.

Read 'Keeping and Breeding Australian Pythons' (edited by Mike Swan, 2007). Excellent source of information with a chapter on roughies. Retails for around $50-$60.

they may have extremely large teeth but i have found mine to be the most placid python in my collection. Keep like any other aboreal species, hides and perches. Eats like a pig but is a dainty feeder.

Hi there "Carbs" and yes we (at Snake Ranch) have roughies for sale, they are excellent snakes to have and as you're in Qld you don't have to have a special licence (as we do in NSW). Blanca looks after the hatchlings and I haven't heard her complaining about Roughies striking at her (and she'd tell me if they did) so they must be pretty easy to handle. Look forward to hearing from you.

sorry marilyn I got mine from urs. I can tell you in the coule of years I have had mine they are an amazing reptile my female is a little stroppy when she is in shed but other then that complete angels. I have been bitten by on once but it was a just a quick hit like a feeding response. other than that they are great handlers you can go into my albums I have a heap of pics in there of my roughies
