ah yeah its confusing alright.a mate of mine knows about breeding them,she is in australia for 6 months at the moment though, so she doesnt even know i got my python yet.
there is some weird variations out there alright, but i dont think id go for the really weird colours, i rather the natural/normal look,,its more apealing i think, but then again everyone has their prefference.
always loved pythons tho,not just royals,butpythons in general, the reason i got a royal is because i have little neices and nephews and sometimes they want to handle the snakes so i got them to get them used to snakes,my 7 year old nephew used to be scared of snakes, now he loves them.
