How about some jags?

You can really shorten the 10 year wait for a roughie by equating 1 grand per year and whala.... a rough scaled python.

Nah mate, not mine it's at the local wildlife park.

Oenpellis....... the search has started (over a decade in the making) as there are a lot of beurucratic crap/permits legalities and the like to go through. One person is currently trying to search for them to bring them into captivity as he has been given a capture permit. Unfortunately that's proper rough country out there and each expedition which may only be a few weeks long cost a lot of money as you need to be dropped in by helicopter a long with all the supplies. The first expedition was a bust mate, three weeks out there and these guys are proper herpers that know that land came up empty handed.

It will be a while mate, probably close to another decade before they are established in captivity as first and foremost the capture permit is given as a permit to establish an "ark" for them. To study their natural behaviour and the like and actually just to find out about the animal itself. So with that it will be a while before they are released to the public. The person that has the permit though is a private individual and a reptile breeder, actually the first person to establish albino olive pythons (from a wildcaught specimen) and granite olive pythons. I'll PM you his name and his site if your interested.

I have a pair of locality specific Jungles by the way, a Tully locale male and an Atherton locale female.

Oenpellis would be the one python i would love more than any other ozzy morelia mate

i'd even move a diamond out to grab a pair of them

it is one of only a few pythons that has the ability to change colour and i've read they can grow as large as 4.5 metres ?

Arnhem Land escarpment,Kakadu National park in the Nothern Territory being the only place you find these rare and wonderfull snakes (i think ?)

imo truely special morelia that i'd do just about anything to work with (never going to happen)

RED INK
who aquired the capture licence for these guys ?

Peter Krauss has done some work with these beautys

cheers shaun

PK had his seized by the govt. not his wrong doing but theirs through some nefarious officials. His died in their care.

Gavin Bedford is the man with his hand on the trigger and hopefully he has some success soon. Me personally have no interest in ever owning one but would love to see one in the flesh even just in zoos.

how sad that an interfering government idiot,takes peters oenpellis and preceded to kill them with their bad husbandry

peter must have been gutted and very angry at these idiots mate

on a less selfish note,i'd be happy to see them thrive a liitle more and build their numbers up in the wild

it would be very sad indeed if these guys were to become extinct

thanks for the constant great info (as always),on all things oz mate

re gavins website
imo,oenpellis for £10,000 a pair is not too much to own the first of these beauty's in captivity

his albino olives are one of,if not thee best carpet i've ever seen

you are so lucky to live in the mother land my friend

cheers shaun
