They have one at the local petstore and they also have had a Scrub Python i really like that snake also can anyone give me some pointers or info on these two snakes i really want the Moluccan Scrub Python that LLreptiles has she is 199.00 thanks Aaron

Well accepting that there can be great variaety in dispositions of individual animals, those two in general don't have a very cuddly reputation. I would not consider for a moment getting either without first being able to interact with it. Scrubs can grow to a fairly healthy length. That being said I did find a pretty tolerant gold-phase white-lipped python at the MARS show (at the LLL table in fact). I'll snag some pics and post a bit more later.

Ok im also interested in a carpet or a rainbow, i really love the Hogg Island Boas but i can't find any at a place that sells them or even 100% . For the reason is that i love the color the redtails are but i don't want a snake that large either i know the Scrub pythons get that big it's my dream snake. Thanks Aaron

Hey cool right over there on the line. I've got juvenile coastal and jungle carpets - all the adults I've come across seemed pretty tolerant of handling - but as little ones they are a little nippy (and have great aim lol). The coastals can get to an appreciable length (~9'max) - not nearly as much as scrubs. We don't have any boas - though everytime I see a real dark Argentine it's that much harder to resist.

Promised a pic of the white-lipped, so here's Midas:
