Hope this helps...
Indeed it does and I have to say that about cinches my feeling that these are a pair of two year olds. So I am guessing one season and they should be breedable?

One thing about them is they are snappy little dudes! Mostly calm when I take them out and handle them but when you put them back in the viv and close the door they get a bit mental. All s-coiled and strike at the glass.

The smaller one did have a go at my forearm twice during a handling but she was bluffing. She struck open mouthed and touched the arm but never actually bit.

Hope they calm down with some more handling. No real problem to handle them for me but I would like to use them with my kids shows at some point. Seems like it would be fun to show kids a spotted, a bigger ball and my 8 foot Jungle Carpet and ask them which one is a python or oldest or something to that effect. Something to make them think about prejudgement.

I still remember when I was a kid and we toured the hospital for a school trip. They brought in two people all dressed up for surgery. One guy and one gal. They asked us all which was the nurse and which the doctor, of course we all said the guy was the doctor. Of course it was the other way around.

That had to be about 1979 and I still remember it! So I know the concept works. But I can't be handing kids I am trying to take fear away from a snappy little python.
