What kind of info are you looking for? They are sweet pythons, get 5-6 ft and mellow out as they get older, although the wee ones can be nippy and flighty. They need a little bit more humidity than most pythons to ensure good sheds since they are fairly thin skinned, and they like to burrow. If you are used to slower moving pythons (like BPs) the quickness of rings can be a bit disconcerting at first.

don't they do a color shift too? i would like to see an adult if anyone has a picture of one.

They do color shift. Check you tube for Ring python. They go from a vibrant red to a dull pewter color. Much nicer as babies to be honest. IMHO

[lpnaz480]

oh they color change? darn cuz this baby looks sweet

[DavidG]

Is that from Will birds site?
