children's python question

Since the topic of the hybrid is already in here- is there a way to tell if its definitely a hybrid? (I have some pictures in my gallery..)

I cannot identify a hybrid, but yours looks like a normal children's python. As for my spotted python, it may be a hybrid. Look at the posts above if you haven't and look at the photo in my gallery. He is 45" long. Could be a large children's or a hybrid or a small spotted. I just don't know.

a 45 inch antaresia species is a spotted python or spotted/childrens hybrid. silenttigress can you please provide some clearer pics of your childrens? to me it may be a hybrid but i highly doubt it. boidfanatic can you post some pics of your spotted? thanks
:)

This is a 4 year old male VPI line children's.

He is a proven breeder and not even 3 feet long.

For a size reference on just how tiny true childrens python are, this is a 3 month old from last years clutch. That is the tip of my finger it is wrapped around.

I was really looking at these guys at our last herp show. I didn't know anything about them, and the guy working the table was BUSY with a bunch of people.

Are there any care sheets out there on these guys?

There's a big article in the 2006 Reptiles magazine annual.

I don't get that :(

Lillyorchid,
You should be able to get it at a book store or well stocked newstand. I bought mine at Petco.

a little late but here's a pic of Children's, great little snake. I had problems getting him to eat at first also and it was VERY tiny when I got him...I dare say hadn't even had its first meal. Does great now I love the eyes.

After having my camera for several months I actually broke out the manual because I couldn't get closeups so I was playing yesterday and this little guy was the subject :)
