Man, this is awesome...
I am actively looking to buy this snake but can't find any in my region (Montreal).

Let me know if you know someone that sells them cheap enough.

Great pics by the way.

Gorgeous photos - and these snakes are so dramatic in person. I couldn't believe the eyes on them. Definately on my wanted list, but have to limit species for now. Thanks for sharing the photos - fuel for wishes.

Thanks, everyone!

Yes, Mary, they have the most beautiful, "intelligent", liquid-brown eyes! Good observation. The eyes are usually difficult to see because of the disruptive, vertical, black bar that usually obscures them in this specie, but under certain lighting you can see them quite well.

Hi K.O.S. ; This is an instance where I would definitely recommend spending the money and at least getting properly established, feeding ones, or even better, captive-bred ones.
My pair came from a friend who originally got them from Dr. Philippe Blais, who produced them.

They are beautiful snakes, and very rewarding to work with.

Thanks everyone!
The yellow and black on these guys puts even Jungle Carpet Pythons to shame, lol!

K.O.S., Yes, Dr. Blais is in the Montreal area. I don't know if he'll have any this year - I know that he sold his breeders last year, but is currently raising some more. I do not know their current status. I'll send you the good Doctor's e-mail addy...

Cheers!
