No doubt about it now.

I used to wonder if my Olive Python granted me membership into the ( GKC) Giant Keepers Club. Some said he's a baby giant so my membership was limited. Well today was a very good day. I came to terms with Dan Mulleary over at DM Exotics and purchased this beauty. He's a male Barneck Scrub Python. I really wanted one of these when I started my search for a new critter and they just weren't there. I guess everything works out in the end. I'm super stoked to get this guy on Tuesday. He's deep in shed in the first 2 pics but still amazing to me. The third is an older pre-shed pic. I'll be posting lots more after he sheds and as he grows. Now I have to come up with another name!

What a gorgeous lil' snek you got there! :worship:

ziggy!!!!!!! congrats!!! can't wait for more pics!

YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Zigg, he’s BEAUTIFUL!! Congrats. I know you’re gonna love him.😍😍

Ok, seriously??? Now you're just trying to hurt us... I'm loving both choices and soooooo jealous! Congrats my man! Awesome choice. :gj::bow:

@ Craig- I'm just making up for a little lost time. I've been on a snake restriction for the last 18 months so I'm kinda overdue. I was adding a critter or two year for a while there. Then mama bear put down the hammer til she got new living quarters. Now that that's done she took the leash off this wolf. Last night she actually showed me how one of the extra closets could be converted into a smaller critter room. All I need is to add an electrical outlet or two. It's roughly 7x5 so that means I can get a couple of 6 foot cages on one wall and some 4 foot cages on the other. I won't go crazy but that means there's room for one more critter I've had my eyes on. Especially since I came in a little under budget for what I was prepared to spend on a BHP. The way I see it is I can get 3 snakes for the price of one. Either way I'm maxed out on critters after that. Then it's all about caging.

That's a heck of a nice noodle you've got there. Hmm, wonder what the "one more critter" might be?

Also, don't forget to update your signature!

Man that is absolutely gorgeous. I picked up an Olive Python yesterday, so high five to us! :D

That's awesome!! I'm super happy for you! ...and will be waiting patiently to see what your "last" will be.

^5 @ Piper- Congrats on the Olive Python. I can almost guarantee you're going to LOVE it. I told my Olive that he may not be the biggest/baddest beastie in the house anymore. He looks at me like, "we'll see about that."I like animals that command a slightly higher level of caution and respect.

@ All- check out this cool video. I'll make something similar one day even though my scrub is from Indonesia. :)

Yes!!!!

Well done sir!! Well done 👍

Super cool video, and a great glimpse into your future!

Congrats on the pickup. One of the most beautiful pythons around in my opinion.

Congrats Ziggy! That's one good looking mofo you got there. :gj:

Beautiful critter you got there buddy, glad you were able to get something you really wanted. Best of luck and congratulations.

You best update that signature!!!

As far as the olive python goes - he's already proven to be quite a firecracker! Gentle and tame outside on my arm, but inside his enclosure, I better be using a hook/tongs. I love him dearly on day 2, so I imagine this will be a great friendship.

As soon as all critters arrive alive (:please:) in T minus 24 hours I will be updating my signature :). Still haven't decided on names for either of my new critters yet but I've got a couple in mind.

Handsome little guy, love the eyes!

First feed and first shed in the books. Had to do some tub cleaning so he got handled for a bit but he didn't protest once. No biting or musking from him so far and I haven't even used a hook yet.

Wow,,

You really hit the jackpot there sir👍

It's hard to keep my hands off this one. He's getting more comfortable and will hang out in the open day and night.
