Other Python sp.

We have always maintained a good variety of python taxon.  Over the years we have kept representatives of the majority of the python family.  We are currently maintaining the following in our collection.

Recently re-named from the Timor Python, as this species does not occur on the island of Timor.  We have kept these beautiful snakes for years.  They are however a challenging species to breed.

The Macklott's Python or Indonesian Water Python has been a favourite species of ours for years.  Although strictly speaking not an investment quality python, they are still great little sellers, have good sized clutches and make excellent subjects to get on the python breeding ladder.  We managed to produce the first Calico Macklott's during the 1999 season.  This came from a random clutch produced by two long term captive adults of wild caught origin.  This particular pair were in our collection from 1992 and went on to produce 12 - 15 youngsters every season.  Unfortunately, we were unable to prove out the Calico trait, as we lost the female Calico to a bacterial infection in 2003, before we had mated her.  Our current adults are of very good size indeed!
