Spotted or Childrens?
Montey was sold to me three years ago as a Children's Python by a pet store that honestly knows nothing about snakes and snake care. I personally think they were mistaken and she's a Spotted.
So, I'm asking the many knowledgable people HERE at ssnakess.com.
Children's or Spotted?

I'll 2nd the Spotted! I breed Childrens & they don't look like yours. Spotteds grow larger & retain more of their childhood pattern than Childrens. If shes 3 ft & looks like that I would say Spotted for sure unless its a hybrid of the 2. Mark I.

Thanks everyone, if you'll notice my signature now, I've corrected the Pet Stores labelling error.

It could quite easily be a cross breed or childrens and spotted but it looks to be dominatly spotted the best idea is to not breed it since they are near impossable to get w.c. and if the genitics are muttled and bred into the captive population over time we may no long have the same purity we do now even though pure now still isnt that pure....

Thanks Bryce, I'll keep that in mind when I start breeding Spotted Pythons. I'll get a pure line.

They seem about the same to me, but I haven't really researched on them or kept them myself. So I'm Not Sure.

So what do you guys call this one ??
Do you guys get these over there?
its a stimsons python from central Australia.
A member of the childrens python family known here as a large blotched python.
I have many pics of them at this size and full grown as well.
Would love to know if these sweet lil guys have made it to your shores.

Hi all & to answer Mudboys Q yes we have Stimpsons in Canada. Henry Piorun ( www.a1pythons.com) of Mission B.C. breeds & has them listed on his price list for $500 CDN. I wouldn't be surprised if Don Patterson has some as well? They are here though. Henry also does Anthills, as does Don. Mark I.

They are some of my favorites because of their size. I'm limited for space so I can't really keep many large boids etc. but I have lots of room for these little guys. Mark I.
