Don't know about in the US but you'd be looking at double that in the UK. Neat little things and rarely seen...

I'd say go for it;) we don't see many Antaresia here. Cool little pythons

That's what I needed to hear! Gracias! Danke! Efkharisto! Toda! Shukran! Spasibo!

I just let the seller know I'll take his 2008 Anthill Pythons, a male and a female, both for $500.

I didn't see anything that said these were arboreal...does anyone know if they are?

Not arboreal, they typically live inside termite mounds if I remember correctly.

Sometimes found in termite mounds would be more accurate. Whilst not arboreal they do frequent more open habitats as well as the confines of mounds.

OP - Cant remember the exact post but someone asked for advice on keeping childreni and largely Antaresia sp. can be kept similarly so that would be a good place to start on a decent setup.

Picked up the snakes this morning...both are in a 20gal until I either pick up a new 40gal or I get another BoaMaster 4'x2'x19" viv.

Seller also told me that while waiting to deliver, in the two weeks since I agreed to buy, the female laid her first clutch of eggs...at 9yrs old. The seller is going to hatch what he can and I told him to come here to the forum and post if he decides to sell.

I have a few so-so pics to post once Apple decides to deliver the pics to my Yahoo! accounts...they should be up later today.

They're called "ant hill" pythons so not largely regarded as arboreal. ;)

Nice pickup.

I'm done for now until I get decent enclosures for everyone--not glass terrariums, but decent melamine or PVC enclosures: either 8'x3'x30" for the big snakes ($500); 4'x2'x19" for the other moderately sized snakes ($140); or, some type of arboreal enclosure ($950) for those that climb.

Then, maybe, I'll start looking again... :rolleyes:
