    Timor python

    I am pretty excited to have the opportunity to add this awesome female to my group of pythons.
    I have never worked with this species and I am super excited to have her.

    That's pretty rad! I wish they were more common in the trade they're so pretty. Aren't they the closest relatives to Retics?

    Awesome, congrats!! That's gorgeous. I saw two at a show being sold right next to my scrub python, but I bought my scrub instead. I asked to handle the timors and was told they would musk on me. LOL

    Nice choice, with the species and gender. Males tend to be a bit more high strung. I've never seen a snake projectile musk quite so strongly as my male timor - he has hit me in the face while I'm holding him closer to waist level, haha. Females seem to be a lot more tolerant of gentle handling.
