African Rock Pythons
I've just bought a Female Afrock to go with my Male Afrock, the male is nearly ready for breeding just needs a bit of weight on for the fasting period and the female needs to grow a bit more in length. The both of them are good healthy pythons and have both got their own Character, Roy The Rock is a lovely snake and gets passed around if we have visiters and he's great to have in our home. We have just got Ruby Rock this week and she is taking some settling in time lol, she's slightly smaller than Roy but she's more stockier than he is. The previous owners were a bit concerned about how fast she was and her mouth may of been a deciding factor as well lol.
I do like a snake with character and she does that, I will be working with Ruby a fare bit to get her to calm down a bit and to get her size and weight up. The previous owner were feeding her medium rats and just moved her on to Jumbo's on the weekend before we were going to get her. A lot of people think I'm a bit nuts as I always go for the snakes with as I like think lots of character lol. We will be breeding them in the near future but I do want to get her chilled out a bit so we will have easier maintenace of the breeding pair together.

Re: African Rock Pythons
Cheers I will be patient and I'm sure she'll get better, I think some people get a bit worried with Rocks as they are very hissy but when you get them out they are usually realy good. From handling Ruby I can tell she has not been handled much and you must keep the contact up with Rocks to keep the bond up.
When she susses out the ugly bugger is soft as shite she will melt to my charms lol, said he fingers cross. Joking aside I do feel confident she will get better its just the lack of handling I think, we have people visiting the snakes not us and she will soon be part of the gathering as all the snakes are.

Re: African Rock Pythons
Cool, my dwarf retic throws the odd hissy fit every now and then but he's fine when you get him out and settles right down.
Plenty of 'playtime' then

Re: African Rock Pythons
The pattern on Rocks are realy good and the head patterns can be so differant as well. I got our male a while ago and he's realy good, but I went searching for a Burmese to pair with him not a Female Rock lol. I will get a Burmese Female at a later date and do the Cateater Python Hybrid the mix of Burm and Afrock skin pattern is really good.

How big do those dwarf retic,s get to, they do look awsome snakes to have. If my hit list of snakes get any bigger I have to move to a massive house lol.

Anything up to 12/15ft, think it depends on lineage for a true Dwarf and Super Dwarf, the supers can max out at 6ft.
My guys about 8-9ft, he'll fill out but I doubt he'll getting any longer.
