Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Spotted and Childrens
Man, with all the posts I've glanced over in here about retics and burms, I feel kinda out of place (err, small may be a better word) posting about spotted and childrens pythons!
At any rate, any of ya'll keep or breed these two? I would LOVE to know where I could find more information on them, as I keep running into dead ends. I dunno, maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.
From what I do know about them, they seem like great little snakes and they really are quite beautiful.

No need to feel out of place or small. I can't speak for the Children's, but I keep Cape York spotted pythons. Great snakes, and it's a shame that the smaller species are so frequently overlooked (I was guilty of that myself in my former activities)

I love Childrens, Spotteds, and Cape York Spotteds. I agree with SPJ, they're very underrated as pets. Manageable size, beautiful, and typically docile demeanors.
Tons of pics of mine on my website, so I won't post them here.
Don't feel silly talking about the smaller breeds...they have plenty of exceptional qualities and advantages~ I can clean ALL the Cape York tanks in the time it takes my husband to clean one burm cage

Okay, I was wrong about the magazine, it is a USA mag not UK. Since I found it. It is:
2006 Annual Reptiles USA volume 11
PetCo should carry it. Here are my children's to show off:

Man ya'll have some gorgeous snakes! Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate it. I want to get into keeping boids, but I'm just not ready for the size a lot of them can reach. I dunno, maybe that makes me a whimp, but I'd rather not keep a snake that gets so big it could eat my dog. ....at least not right now...I need TONS more experience!
Anyways...I've been researching the spotted and childrens and find them quite intriguing. (As well as some of the pacific island boas and rosys of course!)
Seems they are rather hardy snakes. Are they finicky as hatchlings or are they pretty easy to start on f/t pinkies?
Thanks for humoring my 'newbie' questions! I really soak up a lot from reading everyone's posts!

I've heard some stories about Childrens being rough to start feeding, but that's never been my experience. They've always been regular feeders, though not as voracious as the Spotted babies! I swear, every Spotted hatchling I've ever had has attacked food like there was no tomorrow!
