I still ended up taking out the nikon for her, and I found out that she HATES flash photography! Either that or she hated the clicking sound of the camera. It totally freaked her out, as you can see from the first to the second pic here. Not even my green tree python has this strong reaction to flash or camera clicks haha.

I thought I'd point out that I was obviously wrong, this blog post copy and pasted info off other sites. :rofl: oops, not sure why I would think Nick Mutton wouldn't write info himself yesterday LOLL.

I'll bet it is nearly impossible to not check in on this new additions every hour or so LOL!

I love getting something new, and the funny thing is, after quarantine, my other snakes seem to react and display a bit more for me too!

Win, win!

You're right, I have been checking on her every hour for the entire day. Unfortunately, since I just fed her yesterday, she's been in her hide the whole time hahah. And I fell asleep in a chair in front of her cage and just woke up.

how funny, why is that? You think they react to the new snake?

I thought I’d post, I was sent these pictures of Pixie’s parents, a male axanthic patternless to a female xanthic DH patternless axanthic. Pixie hatched in October 2015, and these adults are only between 5~6 feet! First pic male, 2nd pic female. They are currently 8 years old, and they were farm raised in Indonesia.

It’s really hard to reproduce them in captivity- only a few people were able to. 95% of Tanimbars are imports/wild caught.

I’d say Pixie herself is about 4 feet long right now.


(above animals owned and pics taken by Andre Mondin)

and here's some Pixie! I handled her today like a fool.

And here she's chilling on her branch. She drapes her whole body across it.

Cool. Bigger than I thought she was.

Beautiful animal, congrats! What I love about checking in on this site is being introduced to animals I wouldn't even know to look up.

I saw your first pics and thought, what an awesome looking python. Then I look it up and find out it's Morelia!?! M. a. Nauta! I love all Morelia!!!

The iridescence Tanimbar have is fantastic! Great choice!!

Okay, maybe 3.5 feet... I'm just estimating! Her tail is very long.

Thanks! Actually same, I knew about scrubs, but I didn't know about the nauta subspecies until I saw her at the show... and I researched on my phone on the spot. LOL

Yeah they're morelia! Or at least, they used to be. Apparently it's simalia nauta now. Boelen's pythons are also simalia now, since a couple years ago.
