Re: Antaresia perthensis

Don't know about in the US but you'd be looking at double that in the UK. Neat little things and rarely seen...

Re: Antaresia perthensis

I'd say go for it we don't see many Antaresia here. Cool little pythons

Re: Antaresia perthensis

That's what I needed to hear! Gracias! Danke! Efkharisto! Toda! Shukran! Spasibo!

I just let the seller know I'll take his 2008 Anthill Pythons, a male and a female, both for $500.

I didn't see anything that said these were arboreal...does anyone know if they are?

Re: Antaresia perthensis

Not arboreal, they typically live inside termite mounds if I remember correctly.

Sometimes found in termite mounds would be more accurate. Whilst not arboreal they do frequent more open habitats as well as the confines of mounds.

OP - Cant remember the exact post but someone asked for advice on keeping childreni and largely Antaresia sp. can be kept similarly so that would be a good place to start on a decent setup.

Re: Antaresia perthensis

Picked up the snakes this morning...both are in a 20gal until I either pick up a new 40gal or I get another BoaMaster 4'x2'x19" viv.

Seller also told me that while waiting to deliver, in the two weeks since I agreed to buy, the female laid her first clutch of eggs...at 9yrs old. The seller is going to hatch what he can and I told him to come here to the forum and post if he decides to sell.

I have a few so-so pics to post once Apple decides to deliver the pics to my Yahoo! accounts...they should be up later today.

They're called "ant hill" pythons so not largely regarded as arboreal.

Nice pickup.

Re: Antaresia perthensis

I'm done for now until I get decent enclosures for everyone--not glass terrariums, but decent melamine or PVC enclosures: either 8'x3'x30" for the big snakes ($500); 4'x2'x19" for the other moderately sized snakes ($140); or, some type of arboreal enclosure ($950) for those that climb.

Then, maybe, I'll start looking again...
