Re: Boelen's python

I saw his "teasers" leading up to this...they sure are gorgeous! from what I hear about the rarity of them, I was surprised the price wasn't higher, actually...I have seen other more "common" rare snakes for more than that here and there...

Re: Boelen's python

Cb? If he means captive bred and born, than for 3200 dollars is not bad. Most likely he means captive born....on a farm in who knows where. IMO they will probably be good successful captives who readily breed once we figure out the 'secret'. Blackheads were problem species, M. spilota spilota were problem species, even ball pythons were at one point. Ari flagle is actually out in the field doing research atm I believe so we can better understand them in captivity. Anyways, these are the morelia holy grail IMO.

CB usually means captive born. So bred elsewhere...

Boelen's Python, found in New Guinea



They tend to start off red/brown as youngsters and darken as they age




In my opinion one of the most aesthetic pythons despite the one tone color
