So what IS the special way to breed them?

Great olives!! Getting them from my buddy Nick is a big plus as well. I got a pair a year or two back.
I do feel that you will need longer than two years though to produce any offspring from those.

Nick at Inland Reptile should still have some. If not, there should be more next year.

OMG I'm SO jealous

:gj:So nice .

I do have a few, just working on getting them feeding properly

Nick

Really nice! What do you plan to house them as adults in? I'm scared I just do not have the room for one.

Olives are so smooth looking. They are on my list for "someday" I'll have room. lol. Congrats!

I house my 14 year old adults in 2x6 cages. The males can be kept smaller. My smaller breeding male is no larger than most carpet pythons. Females hit repructive size at about 8ft so anything larger is optional. My female is about 11ft, but they never achieve the mass of a a burm or retic at that same length, so even a larger olive is still a managable snake.

Congrats on picking up that reverse trio! They are awesome snakes for sure!
One of my favorites for sure!

I have a pair and need another male... Nick - I am going to email you later today.

I think i'm going to give Nick a call and see what's available still. I may get one next year or later this year.
