Looking For A New Species of Python

I second the green tree python notion

I seem to recall the OP asking for recommendations on pythons that get between 8 to 10 feet long.

So instead of turning this thread into a list of OUR favorite snakes, maybe we should take a sec and re-read his original post.

In the 8 to 10 foot range we have:

No spotted pythons.

No green tree pythons.

I kept woma pythons for many years and never had one crack the 7 foot barrier.

I've also never seen a macklott's crack the 8 foot barrier.

Some pythons that get over 8 feet long but stay manageable in size include the blackheaded python, the bredli, the coastal carpet, the water python (liasis fuscus), and the southern white-lipped python (black phase).

Southern white lips are fairly hard to come by and the northerns don't crack the 8' barrier.

There are also super dwarf reticulated pythons.

I've kept almost everything on that list (with the exception of super dwarfs) and have to say that hands down, the blackheaded pythons are incredible easy to care for. The only think diffcult about the species is convincing your significant other you should be allowed to spend that much money on a snake.
