freaky Spotted Pythons

[Derek Roddy]

I have a Cape York Spotted Python pair that has given me these reduced animals 2 years in a row.

The first year....I got this little female. You can clearly see she's different from the rest of the normal Cape York's. Those Orange eyes!!!!

Here's hoping that it proves out to be some sort of reproducible trait! Odd's are good being that she threw them 2 years in a row.
She'll have next year off and hopefully meet up with the male in the last picture in 2015.

I'll get more pictures of him after he sheds out and such.

Unfortunately I lost the first female about 4 months after she hatched for unknown reason. Let's hope this male does better!

Nice pics! Love these guys. I'm looking to pick up a pair of striped spotted pythons in a couple months. Right now I'm just working with Children's. :) I'd love to see updates as he grows!

Sorry about the female but any updates on the male? They look fantastic:)

Good luck with it mate... reminds me of the platinums we have here. Hopefully it's reproduceable.

Yeah children's are great animals as well. You'll like the spotteds....very similar in activity, etc to the children's. Neat animals and under appreciated.

Cheers Mark, I'm gonna get some fresh pictures of them today. I'll post em later.

Yeah, I thought that too. It does look similar. I hope it is reproducible too. Although, I don't think I would have gotten them out of 2 clutches if not.....never know though.
Freaking stunning.

cheers Chuck!

I look forward to seeing what he grows into. I agree with red_ink that it reminds me of a platinum. Hard to determine what he'll look like as an adult while he's so young, though. :) Very cool!
