That spotted python is stunning! I love how they retain their bold patterns, so hard to resist getting one.

I really like your anthill mk, the rust red color is awesome!

The spotted had a snack last night. He prefers to pull his prey off the ground and eat in the trees.

I really like both! Spotteds will get a good bit bigger than Children's from what I understand. I really like the smooth buttery look on childrens, but spotteds have some really good contrast and can have some neat patterns.

I've been slowly falling in love with the genus over the past month or so! They seem to be fantastic little snakes that won't make my boyfriend as mad at me as a carpet python right now lol. So since I recently had a birthday, I turned the bday money into "the complete children's python" and "the complete ball python" can't wait until those books arrive!! Planning on going to the reptile super show in Pomona in January and seeing if I can find some breeders to talk to about these cool little snakes.

Honestly I like the whole genus! They're all so adorable. Also I just spent bday money and got this book on them (and the bp book too haha) so I'm super excited to read it and learn more.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...28deba1f8d.jpg

Finally got my little dude out. I haven't had him out of his enclosure for a whole. His growth has slowed dramatically. He's still a pig but not growing like he used to.

Lookin good! My guy has slowed his growth as well and strange enough refused food for the past two weeks, which was a pretty big suprise!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Wow, the refusing food is weird. neither of mine have ever even hesitated at the sight of food. in fact, I think they would eat till they couldn't swallow another mouse. it would just hang out of their face and they would still want more. it IS the season though...I guess if they were to refuse food winter would be the time to do it.

Haha ya mine is normally a disposal, I was actually thinking he was a little over weight...maybe he's holding out until I get him a girl haha

I like his motive.

Well 3 weeks and still no interest in food, this is a record for him, it's like he doesn't even have a prey drive at the moment, he puts his face right up to the mouse then pushes it out of the way and tries to climb up my arm.

I occasionally browse the Aussiepythons.com forum, and it sounds like down there Childrens often stop feeding in winter. My baby spotty has been on and off lately, ate Sunday after skipping three feelings (5-day schedule).

She's also going to be very annoyed when I get a haircut. :)

I finally caught up to everyone else and got a phone with slow-mo so here is a video demonstrating the sheer power and agression of a childrens python. The most powerful snakes on earth.

Also, don't mind the dingy water dish. Tomorrow is cleaning day.

Great! Looking forward to that. :)

My female managed to escape the other night. I haf no idea she was out. My daughter saw her and calmlt said "dad, there is a snake on the desk" while we were watching TV. I ha e no clue how she climbed it but whatever. She went up there to announce her new found freedom. I snagged a few mugshots of her.

haha awesome!

My little spotted girl seems to be coming out of her winter fast, finally. She ate two small mouse pinks a couple weeks ago, and Tuesday night she took a small mouse pinky, and then I snuck a second one in as #1 was going down (whichI did the previous feeding). She looked like she was hunting after #2, so I offered a third, and she struck it.

Most of the other snakes get fed in their cages, but she seems to feed better after some playtime and so far has refused to feed in her cage. Usually I feed (or try) in a critter keeper, but lately she feeds in my hand. I'd say she's comfortable with being handled. [emoji4]

Debating if I should stick with the 10-day schedule I've had her on for offering this winter, or shift her back to 5 days.

Here is Dottie. I got her at the Hamburg Reptile Show on 2/27/16. Was told she is a black spotted Children's python. Was in the market for a corn snake but came across this one and she was so gentle until yesterday. Will post my experience in a separate thread.

Nice pickup, not sure what "black spotted" means as there aren't any morphs in the US, there are some line bred for specific looks (reds, ghost), however that looks like a nice little worm.

Admittedly, I didn't know too much about these until I bought one. I asked the guy I bought it from if it was a spotted python or a cross and he said it's a Children's morph from some line by someone in Germany. She seems healthy and eats well so either way it's all good.

Do you have a close up of the eyes?

Up close.

There was a pair for sale being advertised as mutants on kingsnake. Think they looked similar.

Could be a spotted/childrens mix, but it doesn't have the typical spotted eyes...as it grows you will probably be able to tell by how the pattern fades....either way nice worm!

Last night I discovered that my little spotty girl, Wonambi, had escaped. Son and I had emptied her cage, checked under other snake cages, pulled the cushion off the futon couch (which her cage is next to), and were starting on the mess under/behind the couch when husband got home. The manly men moved the couch frame while I tried not to panic. Shortly after that Son found her in the middle of a roll of contact paper, which we had to un-roll to extract her. It was under the couch pretty much at the base of the table her cage sits on. Best guess is she snuck out the space between the door and wall (Exo-Terra style viv) when I was filling water.

Checked her before bedtime, was still there. I checked her hides this morning, and no Wonambi. AAARGH!!! Summoned husband, who found her up on the cord for the thermostat probe for her heat lamp, being very defensive. We didn't think she could escape through the cord race, but I decided to switch her to a different cage.

We figured she was cranky about having her big adventure spoiled, but in hindsight she was probably stuck - husband removed the top to get her out, and she almost instantly went back to her normal sweetheart self.

So now she's in a 5 gallon long tank (same footprint as a 10g) with a sliding screen top with locking pin and no cord races. Scatha the Mexican king got moved to Wonambi's cage, and she definitely can't get through the cord race. The cage is small for Scatha, but our big order from AP should be here by the end of the month, and both girls will be in bigger cages after that.

I was thinking the ventilation slots in the cage Wonambi will be moving into might be too big for safety, definitely covering them with soft window screening after this!

Here's the brat child about a week ago:
