    Re: Spotted Pythons

    I remember reading a teeny tiny bit about them a while back. I just did a quick google with the scientific name. That should get you started. As for where to get one, I would contact some of the big name breeders. Usually there's "somebody who know somebody who knows somebody" who can get you one when you deal with the big kids.

    This was a good one:

    That should give you a good head start. Maybe a breeder's name will pop up as you search further. They're pretty snakes.

    Not really. More often than not I find very little or no information at what I am researching.

    Re: Spotted Pythons

    I breed Spotteds and Children's pythons.
    Their husbandry is very similar to other pythons. Keep your warm side at 88 - 90 and the cool at 78 - 80. I house mine in 28 qt. Sterilites.
