the jungle thread

Roger I never tire of looking at your jungles. They are absolute incredible colours. When you call your female 50/50, what do you mean by that?

The palmerston female you have there, she looks like she has beautiful heavy black on her. When I asked SXR about the lineage of my fellas, Diane said they are from orginal Atherton pythons that they acquired from Mr Krauss. What's the difference between palmerston and atherton, and is it ok to mix these two together?

Hi Kathy ,
50/50 refers to the amount of colour and pattern, ie 50% yellow and 50% black .

The is no difference between Palmerston and Atherton jungles , they are both jungles the only difference is that they are 2 different localities from which the bloodlines originated from.
Palmerston jungles are often refered to as low land jungles , where is Athertons are from the higher altitude of the Atherton Tablelands.

Ninja, your Jungle has an almost unbroken yellow dorsal stripe... Very nice (I like the blotchy patterns like yours has rather than the banded/ringed look)

Hey Ninja, your snake reminds me so much of one of mine. I was going to ask where you got it from until I saw you were in NSW. Have a look.

Excuse the feeding pics , he gets filthy when he eats, the last one was his first wiener rat and he disemboweled it. I have to bathe him after he has a rat a fair bit.

He has an almost unbroken dorsal stripe like yours, and I think his colouring will develop like yours when he gets older (he's about 8-9 months at the moment). I had one out of the same clutch that had a completely unbroken stripe, but she went back to the breeder because I couldn't get her to feed.

I glad you both like my jungle, thanks for your comments. They certainly do have a very similar look, thanks for posting your pics great to see your jungle.

 

[kawasakirider]

Thanks mate, it will be interesting to see what he will turn out like, and if he will look like yours.

How old is yours, mate?

 

[Ninja]

About four years old. Good luck with yours it is a top looking snake.

Thanks mate, appreciated

awesome snakes. Keep em coming!! Would love to get a jungle python but don't have much room at the moment. Are they really that snappy?

 

[kawasakirider]

Mine aren't. One was at first but calmed down in less than a week with handling.

 

[Grogshla]

awesome. I guess alot of it depends on the snake and the handling. Would love one in the future

 

[kawasakirider]

What do you keep now, mate? The one of mine on the previous page has never bitten anyone, so placid. He's never gotten in the strike position, either.

 

[Grogshla]

At the moment I have a wheatbelt stimmie. Looking to get a regular stimmie and childreni soon though. Can only keep smallish snakes for the time being. I have heard that some jungles are very placid but then all I read about on caresheets is how agressive they are. I guess thats why these forums are so good. Real experience and advice
