Hi all,
So, as some of you may know, here in Australia, we are not allowed any animals from outside our country. So basically, carpet pythons are to use as ball pythons are to the UK and US. So I'd like you all to meet Popeye. He is now 9 months old (though the pics are quite old, I'll post more recent ones soon), and is 50% Jungle, 35% Coastal and 15% Murray Darling. He is one of the sweetest snakes you will meet.
So without further ado, say hello to Popeye.
EDIT--Can someone tell me how to post pics directly from my desktop? My computer won't let me. Sorry if I sound noobish here!
I think I remember your name from the Aussie Pythons board.
Don't be too upset about not being able to own "exotics" there. From my experience, the Aussie snakes are some of the most active, least shy and most social of all the large constrictors. Carpets are perfect, Olives are incredible and Scrubs as well.
You have the python area covered.
I think the only negative would be missing out on the South and Central American boa constrictors.
I think your scrubs and olives fill the retic gap very well and from what I hear, olives will eat ANYTHING so they could fill the king snake gap too LOL.
Your snake is beautiful too. I have a very similar looking girl.
Reinz, how thick is your largest coastal? And I guess how long and what age?
