New pick up! not morelia :O

I saw the other Olive pythons that just got posted. Ever since I found my passion for snakes I loved Olives and white lipped pythons. I got to hang out with a WLP and found my distaste for them immediately. Please, don't get me wrong, gorgeous snake to say the least and one I still enjoy. I emailed Nick and asked about some siblings. We talked on the phone a good bit and to put it short and sweet he is one of the best guys I've ever done business with. Always at the phone, and willing to answer any questions you have no matter how off the wall they are. Thursday morning a very good friend of mine (and chondro-holic) went to fed-ex to pick up a box for me. After I got off work I rushed to her house and found my new baby. So with out anymore typing, this is Oliver.

He was acting shy. Once he settles in and eats I will be sure to post a lot more!

Beautiful eyes. Nice catch ;)

Nice olive!
You can't go wrong with Nick. :gj:
I also have some olives from Nick.

I want one so bad, its not even funny.

Olives for me are one of those "if I only had the room!" snakes. Gorgeous!

They are great snakes, i'm waiting to get mine. Meantime right now i'm getting ready to go on a cruise.

i didn't think it was legal for you to own another type of python.

awsome addition!!

Oliver, I like it. Good looking snake. :gj:

Is he mean as ****? I personally am not a fan of olives but congrats! if everybody like the same thing that would suck.

I want an olive python, but i gotta do a bunch of re-search on em first..

I was under the impression that olives are about as docile as ball pythons. David, great choice.

Babies "CAN" be nippy, but a lot of them aren't. They also tame down very very well as adults.

He is very human friendly. Present a food item he is not into and you will get owned. The downside is there is only one real look to olives. It really hurt not to get another green tree, but this guy is just as cool as all the other critters who reside here. This is the only animal I have thought about going outside of Morelia for. I actually planned on sticking strictly to chondros, but then I saw this little one! I really could not be more happy with him.

DBD, unfortunately there is not a ton of information out there about them. You will find basic stuff, but if you have problems it's best to talk to the breeder. Nick has 14 years experience with these guys, he's by my first call if I had an issue. Heat is high (for the chondro people anyways) 86-low/mid 90's is what I have my guy at in a 66qt tub. It's pretty big for him and he's always over the heat. It's super humid all year in Alabama (55-65) so misting is not important. Babies enjoy to climb and all ages love to hide.


Thanks for all the comments guys. I took my designers out other day for a photo shoot as well.
