Ringed Pythons (pics)

[Youkai]

Thanks to school (taking animation at Emily Carr) I've been quite absent from the ssnakess.com forums.

I'm getting into the swing of things now. I've been mainly a gecko keeper for years and years, and promised myself when I finally got bitten hard enough by the snake bug, I'd grab myself a pair of these beauties.

And so I did. Many thanks to Henry Piorun.

Welcome to the world of Ringed Pythons!! We are hoping that our pairs will breed very shortly.
Good luck....Andrea.

Way to go!

Its too bad they dont keep those amazing colors as adults...but they are still beautiful animals.

[Youkai]

I know a lot of people hate that they lose their color...and it is unfortunate...

But I fell in love with the adults first, so the beauty of the juveniles is just a nice bonus for me.

Andrea...let me know how your pairs do! The childrens is doing well. I'll have to start searching for a mate for him soon...

Very nice. Are they nippy?
Cheers,
Trevor

never knew snakes like this existed.

Right on, I too traded Henry for a pair of Ringed this season. They are everything but nippy. These little ones are confused they act like baby Milksnakes without the musking & biting. I find mine to be very nervous & flighty. First couple of feedings thye were so nervous you had to tease them & then they kept dropping the prey because they were too nervous of my presence. Not now though they strike & coil like champs feeding well on F/T pinkies or small fuzzies. Super cool little Pythons, Good Luck with yours (you too DNA) Cheers Mark

[Linds]

They look awesome! Congrats! :D

[BoidKeeper]

Interesting. I had not given them a second thought because I thought that they were nasty. Time to do some reading. Me thinks I might like a pair after all. Does anyone have any pics of adults?
Cheers,
Trevor

[Youkai]

Mine aren't nippy at all either. A little bit flirghty, but they haven't even attempted to strike.

If you want to see lots of pictures of adults, just do a google image search. Though I think they need to be seen in person to be appreciated.

Congrats Jen, they both look awesome!! :D I was actually just thinking about you last night wondering if you'd managed to meet up with Henry ok yesterday and get them -- I know how anxious you were! LOL.

Best of luck with them, they're beautiful :)


Trevor, I'm sure there's a bunch of pics of adults out there...I'm pretty sure that Henry would have a few on his site on the caresheet that he's got for them. This is a pic of one of Joe's old ringeds, hopefully he won't mind me posting it...
