Found these on Retic Keepers, sexy snakes.

One is brindle and one is the best looking calico alive.

What species of snake are those?

Reticulated pythons.
Buying calicos, paradoxes, and brindles is an incredibly hard task without a small price tag.

Does the band on the nose of the calico look like a scar to you? it looks like a chunks been ripped out.

(almost all calicos are WC, they generally aren't worth breeding because they haven't been proven out and take literally 2-3 years to start showing their calico gene, if they have it.

Yeah I'm partial to the brindle myself. Too bad retics are illegal in Iowa.

A calico can be 3-5k, really sexy ones are up to 15.
Brindles are much much more rare, they have no price tag. You just offer and if the person wants to sell it, it gets sold.

That being said, Prehistoric Pets is selling a Brindle and a paradox as a breeder combo for like 17k.

While the snakes are real EVERYTHING THEY ARE SAYING to try and sell them as a potential provable line is BS, they have proved to be NON GENETIC in all animals but Kenyan Sand boas, where paradox is for some reason, recessive.

That black line on the snout of the calico looks like they put a rubber band on it for some reason? :confused: but it's hard to tell from that small pic

That's entirely possible, they do that all the time with WC animals (the stupid exporters) normally they use clear tape though.

Either way, taping a snakes mouth shut is a nono in my books.

I wish I could get a brindle that looks as good as that one. Maybe I'll get lucky one day...
