Sorry y'all
I didn't go with the SD retic . I decided on this very handsome 2016 male Olive Python . He was produced by Jeff Hartwig and is scheduled for delivery early next week if the weather permits. I'm super excited to work with this species and plan to add an albino python in the next year or two. Does this count as my first giant?

Re: Sorry y'all
YOU'RE DEAD TO ME, THE TREACHERY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty cool looking snake, haven't heard of it before. Looks like they grow longer then average SD certainly bigger then males. I'll let the other giant keepers chime in if you get to join the club Post some pics of the new addition when it arrives.

Re: Sorry y'all
Speaking of albinos...I've also secured this gem from Bill Steagal at Phoenix Reptiles. She's scheduled to arrive week after next. Y'all know I can't get enough of my carpets!

Re: Sorry y'all
Really nice carpet, almost looks like hearts down her side. I can see why you couldn't pass that up.

Re: Sorry y'all
I love Olive Pythons, but they're known to be feisty, so watch out. And yes, this certainly counts as a giant python

Re: Sorry y'all
You'll end up with an SD at some point XD
I have heard olives are suuuuper feisty, sometimes described as 'needlessly agressive', so just be careful. Since it so young and cbb hopefully it will tame down well for you. =)
I am waiting on my 2nd carpet. Gunna be super picky since my space is dwindling lol.

Re: Sorry y'all
Thanks y'all. I've read and heard they can be a little nippy as hatchlings but most mellow out within a year or so. My impression is they're strongly food driven but still gentle giants that are nice to handle.That's what I'm hoping for at least.

Re: Sorry y'all
@ Mink-That's why I chose to go with the 2016 animal instead of a 2014 that was available. I'd rather deal with a fiesty hatchling than a snappy juvenile/semi adult.

Re: Sorry y'all
Your saying sorry for getting an olive python , are you mad sir. Ziggy I have to admit I'm a tad jealous here mate lol that wee guy of yours is stunning. And you've definitely took a step into the world of giants, I'm not sure how big the males get but I know the females get to a fair old size. I had a picture of one on my old phone eating a wallaby I'll see if I can get it for you and post it here if you want . And the albino carpet is beautiful looking forward to seeing the pics when they arrive
