Google is a great start. :D

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. :P

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.

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.

as were to buy them i know bhb has some beautiful ones for a good price.
