Childrens python fan club/pic post

Since there aren't many folks on here that have childrens pythons or even any interest in them i figured i would make a post for those few of us that do. Post pics, updates and whatever about your childrens here and lets keep this thread going as a running log for pics and whatever else you like. All Anteresia are welcome here....

I'll start with pics of my pair i took while cleaning cages today. First a few of my male...

Awesome! The female looks like it has a red to it. Has she calmed down for you?

I honestly wonder how many people know about them, I know I didn't, I saw one in a little deli cup in a case with corns and kings and started asking questions. When you go into a shop looking for a snake and your only experience has been with corns or another simple to care for snake most people seem to jump to "get a BP", which I did and why I am on this site, however they weren't for me. The childrens is what got me hooked on Aussies, their personalities are awesome. I have a female in my sites and would love to get a pair of Womas down the road.

YES! please join. the more the merrier. i too was a ball python as a default snake person. then i discovered Anteresia and Morelia and quickly changed to an aussie collection. i fell in love with childrens when i held a hatchling at a show and gave everything it had trying to kill me. it was adoreable. i haven't looked back. i have nothing against BPs but i am all in on Ants and Morelia. please, post some pics and keep us updated.

X2...I keep eyeing that red female on the AA website...I just need to decide if a rack system is the way to go. I want to be able to house the adult male and female in tubs big enough to be an actual enclosure.

Little guy was out and about today

looking good. do you find that as soon as you refill the dish with fresh water he comes right out to have a sip? mine both do. every time without fail.

Haha yup he attacks my hand when I reach in to fill it up and as soon as I put the lid back on he's drinking.

He is pretty hard core. Looks like quite the killer. Both mine shed yesterday. I'll try to grab some pics tomorrow. For some reason my female has taken to burrowing and is NOT happy when i unearth her.

Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk

Haha hes vicious...actually he was in a really good mood today...i pulled him out of the cage...he didnt even strike at the hook...and he wrapped himself around my wrist twice and just sat for a good 30 minutes not moving...looking forward to seeing yours! My guy jist passed 12 inches but still no bigger around than my pinky!

turns out my male had a rough shed. he looks terrible. I need to help him out a bit. hopefully tomorrow. my female had a good shed and looks great. I should have pics soon.

I set up a new cage for my male. He seems pretty happy about it. I tried to get his bad shed off. He was not happy about that. He is a pic of his setup.

Redid my female tank too. She is neither impressed not unimpressed. She is a very indifferent snake. She had a fresh shed and looks pretty though.

Nice! What are you feeding them now? My guy hasn't increased in thickness, just length so he is still on pinkies, but he is hammering back 3 a week!

Here is a really bad pic of my Childrens. She is a little over 2yo and around 3ft.She is very high strung and will bite if given the chance.

my male is eating fuzzy mice and female is on large hoppers. i think i can move my male up to smaller hoppers when i run out of the fuzzies.

When did you bump him to Fuzzies? I looked at the size of them last time I got feeders and they looked way to big, my worm is seriously still more slender than my pinky finger.

Shes pretty...she doesn't even calm down once shes out of the tank?

One day i just gave him the smallest fuzzy i could find to see if he could take it. Aussie can take a meal about 1 1/2 their body girth. He took it just fine and stayed with them. They are slow growers but he put on more size once i went up to the fuzzies....... I guess by fuzzy i mean right between fuzzy and pinkie. Hes on full sized fuzzies now but when i transitioned i stayed pretty small.

I wish she would, she was given to me last year and was more insane then. The previous owner never touched her.While she has gotten better, she still will strike out at the slightest movements.I actually have no idea if its a male or female.I will find out one of these days when I get a chance.

I will see if I can find any tiny tiny Fuzzies at the show this weekend. Might be worth a shot. Oh last sat (my feeding day) he was in a special mood, I opened the lid to the tank (didn't even get it completely off) and he launched his entire body out at me, tagged my arm and landed on the hook I was holding.

Well hopefully (he/she) calms down for you eventually.

She has gotten much better but is just really jumpy.A dog or person walking across the room can make her snap. Or accidentally bumping her wrong.As long as I wear long sleeves and dont let her near my face Im usually okay. Just a good thing they stay small because they do have quite a reach on them.:)


Do any of you put things for them to climb on in their cages?

it's hilarious when they bite. feels like nothing but they are so serious. like they actually believe they can kill you. accidentally brushing against a strip of velcro does more damage.

My female has taken to burrowing and just poking her head out. Then as someone walks by she gets all irritated and zips out and acts put out. Who needs sand boas....

My male doesn't burrow at all. The female goes through phases where she is subterranean for days at a time.

Snapped a few pics this morning. He HATES the camera. As soon as he sees it he starts striking at it. Sorry, its pic heavy but i dont take pics of him all the time because he hates it so much.

Haha the first one looks like he is striking a pose. He also looks like he is lightning up a bit. What size cage do you have them in at this point?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

he is lightening up some. he has lost a bit of his red, not a lot. these pics were taken through the glass and the flash did wash out the colors a bit. he is still in a 10 gallon and i imagine will be for some time. the dude is just little.

that first pic kills me. the look on the mouse's face is classic.

Clean cage and full belly=happy lil worm
