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.

Morelia Spilota Spilota ???
Diamond pythons, what is the actual reason these are so hard to find. From what I understand that they are extremely hard to care for and breed in captivity. Is this true.
The reason I am asking I had a customer from the university asking to purchase one.
When I looked for one I came up with nothing but the crosses.
Any and all input on this topic helpfully.
Thanks
Chris Thompson

There is a long standing reputation for the subspecies as being difficult to keep, breed and incubate which may or may not be entirely accurate... remember, GTP were impossible at one point too and there are species of chameleons which "could never be bred in captivity"
At this point though there is a much larger problem inherent in locating pure animals-
Australia's wildlife hasn't been legally exported in going on twenty, twenty five years now. Once another subspecies is introduced into a bloodline, it's impossible to ever purify it. Ever. It's a tainted genetic dead end for those looking for pure subspecific animals. After it was discovered that diamond x carpets were easier to breed and incubate out than pure diamonds, it was really just a matter of time before the bloodlines became permanantly tainted.
And people don't see why I dislike hybrids and unnatural subspecific intergrades.
