You are in a great position to pass along knowledge and understanding of this species as a captive pet.
I personally enjoy every post you put up.

Do you have recent pics of her with something for scale, like on your arm or hand? I'm trying to figure out exactly how much larger she is than my yearling Tanimbar. :P
You two will have to compare notes.
I'm very interested in these three species, the Scrubs/Tanimbars, the Timor pythons, and the reticulated pythons. There are a lot of similarities and the Timors seem to almost bridge a gap between retics and scrubs.
If I were to acquire a scrub, I'd probably have a friend build me a cage that is 4 feet tall at minimum.
I'm giving my SD X Dwarf retic a 2' tall cage. He's a climber and a percher. I wasn't sure what he would like, but every other night he is perched. Usually over his water bowl which reflects what they do in nature. The smaller retics perch in trees over a body of water.
Both of you have even more arboreal animals and that is exciting to me!
