Around 3 years ago they was a member with one asking for husbandry help with his. He had pics of him handling it. It did not appear aggressive and he did not mention that is was. From what I gathered, husbandry was not so straight forward like BP’s, Carpets, and Boas.

They are awesome snakes, sure wish I could afford one.

NERD's are their own CB hatchlings. They have a pair of babies and a YouTube video on them. Swoon. I've watched and read everything out there, just about, and it seems to me an aggressive one would be an anomaly.

You know the heart, it's fickle! I was just telling dakski that I build, demolish, and rebuild my wish list all the time. ��

From what I can tell, they tend to not breed well in captivity but once established appear to do ok as adults. Hardly matters as I will never have one. But dang, a girl can dream.

Yep. I hate him.

I think if he does sell his kidney he should buy 2 of them to breed and gift to all his BP.net friends. :D

Now, before you go talking about selling a kidney - which is highly illegal in the US - know your audience. In other words, if it comes to that, PM me!

How big do they get? Seems calm as anything!

I could be mistaken however I believe I remember reading the key to success was proper brumation (similar to diamond pythons).

They like cooler temps as well, like diamonds, and everything I've read indicates that those successful in keeping them keep them exactly like you would a diamond.

I was thinking the same, but unsure of myself, so I didn’t post that.

I do remember however that they are late bloomers. I believe that they don’t mate until 7-8 years old. That is no incentive to breed right there.

That sure is one stunning python,it’s as iridescent as a white lipped python ,I love them too

Maybe we could all pool our money together and have joint custody of one? We'll do drawings for weekends and holidays?
