If i remember right, BHP's run in the 1000 dollar range. Don't quote me though.

I didn't think that BHB had any? I didn't see them with any last year at Tinley park at least. The only ones I saw were with Brian Sharp and I think Matt Turner? And they were around $1500.00 each. I think they've been at that price for quite some time too. There are NOT a lot of people breeding them. This was for normal Black heads, I don't have any idea on the price of the albinos.

BHP= Black Headed Python, at least that is how I interpreted it. Don't know if BHB has BHPs or not!!

In my "attempt" to find info on Black headed pythons, I ran into this beauty. I gotta say with every morph I see of this species the more interested I get in them.

Now, if only I could actually find a good caresheet on these guys.

Jyson -
The only good care info that would recommend isn't on the net - it is a book, but one that is not to hard to get. Should be able to get it on Amazon - "Keeping and Breeding Australian Pythons" .

Now, having said that - they are similar to womas in care, and there are some good woma caresheets out there. Much like womas - they are a pretty hardy species and actually thrive with very little effort on the part of the keeper. Make sure the cage is big enough - give em a hide and a basking spot.

The only concern that I will throw out there, if you are thinking of getting one, is to be careful at feed time. They eat very little mammal prey in the wild, and as a result, it is suspected that to much mammal fat can have a negative impact on their health. (If you are serious about them, I will take the time to go into a lot more detail with you).

There are a great species to work with and care for... I am not an expert by any means, but have several and would be willing to help if you have specific questions.

Agreed, as much as I am diggin the albino, I'm lovin the normals more. BUT the axanthic black headed python beats ALL!


I think the axanthics are about 15k, and they have been around for awhile. So, the albino is probably worth a kidney AND a 1/3 of a liver.


That sounds about right to me as well.

He just had a pair of 100% hets for sale about a month ago for $25,000. I am not sure if they sold or not...

You can see hypos and axanthics on Paul Harris' site... http://www.ukpythons.com/en/our-collection.asp
