I used to have a beautiful labyrinth burmese python, really an incredible animal to see. Sadly she wasn't right in the head and died before the age of 2. I have been looking for a new labyrinth Burmese ever since, however all i can find is an occasional albino (Do not want an albino labyrinth, het. is fine). I am very curious whether this is a problem exclusive to my country (and Belgium) Or are they just that hard to come by now-a-days? Why doesn't anyone seem to breed them? If anyone knows a breeder that also sells them in Europe, I'd be much obliged. I mailed Bob clark about them but he did not have any either at that time.
The Normal phase labyrinth Burmese python is also amazing! The pattern on those guys are beautiful

They are very hard to find in Ireland and the UK. There is a guy here in Ireland with a female, but the last I heard she was egg bound and lost the clutch :(

You're lucky they're even in your country. We have hypos, greens, albinos, granites over here. I've literally never seen a labyrinth locally.
Hope you find what you're looking for. I can understand the frustration.

After a quick check it seems that there were some breed in Germany, apparently the hypo,s were carrying a heavy price. I'm not sure what price was on the hets :(

I immediately looked up her facebook, but all i can find is a Hypo het Labyrinth? I think you meant Dreamlike Burmese, looking around on their facebook page right now... already fell in love about 6 times. Thx!
Ah Nvm, i see now that Sophie is a part of Dreamlike Burmese, i'm not that good with facebook haha

Problem is i have no idea how far it is, it's in Germany.. It could be 100km, it could be 1000km... I don't know!

does it matter, for a snake you really really want? :p

Not as much, but i rather pick it up in Houten NL (40km) than drive 1000km if it's possible! One male is still for sale, a beautiful little guy. Working out the how and when at the moment!

Congrats! They're not too hard to find here, it takes a little work but enough people have them. Now finding them in your state is a bit harder since they can't be shipped across state lines unless they're leaving the country.

Well finding them in my own country is really not done, Belgium doesn't have many large snake keepers since the laws are very different there. So i'm lucky i can pick one up at Houten, saves me an 18 hour drive :p

Congrats! Can't wait to see pics, I really like burms but the size is just too intimidating for me and dwarf burms are out of the question. :(

Gratz :) And good that you can get him at Houten. Will it be at Snakeday?

Yes but i will be picking up the snake a day before houten, at the hotel the seller is staying. I'm actually not a big fan of expo's, too many pests like mites and everything. I prefer to buy an animal and pick them up right before the expo.
