Wow! Really awesome pythons, Mark. :)

Any neat blackhead stories for those of us not as lucky as you? :D

[MarkAus]

Hi Tim, thanks, no stories yet , only got them yesterday. The male headbutted me, that was strange.

[Tim_Cranwill]

LOL. :D Well, keep us posted. We'll have to live through you, buddy! ;)

[Jeff_Favelle]

Hey, do you feed them Lacies? LOL! J/K! :D

Awsome ! I hope to find some in my backyard someday ;)

Mark when will australia export c.b reptiles? A doctor i know there told me last year that there was serious talks about opening the export market shortly in the years to come.....Did you heard anything about it?

Nice snakes Man!

Very cool! Congrats! :D

[MarkAus]

Thanks everyone.

As for breeding tips, i have been told by a big breeder of blackheads down here that they have to be at least 4 years of age, the males should be bigger than the female, so he is more assertive with her. dont know anything else, if i breed them in 6 months ill let you know more!

As for exporting reptiles, honestly i dont think it will happen, there has always been a lot of talk of allowing exports/imports, but i think Australia treasures our native fauna and flora too much.Wish they did though, i want some ball morphs, some bloods, some indonesian GTPS (aussie ones are way out of my price range at $6000 aud a pop non feeding), a burmese, lol the list goes on.Hope you are right Stav.

Do Blackheads have heat pits?

[MarkAus]

No, i dont believe they do, and i think that is the reason they eat other reptiles in the wild.

jeff, i dont feed mine lacies, i feed mine perenties, LOL.JK

I'll keep my fingers crossed that Aussieland will open up to exports someday, but I'm most definitely not holding my breath.

Those are insanely beautiful blackheads Mark. You are really lucky to have such incredible specimens in your collection.

[Jeff_Favelle]

LOL, with a little glauerti as a snack.....

[Clownfishie]

They're gorgeous Mark -- congrats on the new additions! Best of luck in your breeding efforts with them :) Maybe one of these days we'll actually be able to get some babies off of you... can't hurt to dream anyways ;)

Beautiful blackheads Mark! You're so lucky to have such a lovely pair. I cannot wait until I win the lottery and get a 1.1 pair. :p
