heres the storry, about 2 years ago or so i had a virus run through my snake collection, the only ones that survived where the 3 that happened to still be at my parents house. well im getting back into snakes and such again and figured i would offer one up for trade on here before i do so elsewhere(it has been okayed by the Mods as long as it stays as a trade i AM NOT interested in selling the animal, if i have to chip in a lil extra thats fine but not looking to dish out much $ other than for shipping the python to you). so here are the specs:
FOR TRADE: 1 spotted python (Antaresia maculosa), IIRC it hatched out in October of 2000. i purchased it along with 2 others in January of 2001, so it is over 4 years old. here is the kicker, even though it is 4 years old it is somewhere between 2.5 and 3 feet long. they are a SMALL python species from Austrailia. also, not really a good beginers snake, they are nippy. i have to use a hook(modified coat hanger) to get it out of the cage. once out its fine and easy to hold. by using the hook to get it out of the cage i have not been bit in the last 3 years. they just think anything warm entering their cage is food. once out of the cage they realize its not feeding time. its feeding on one frozen/thawed adult mouse every other week. i have 2 of them in a 10 gallon aquarium with screen top and its plenty of room. i have a pic somewhere but will have to find it.
interested in:
most any snake other than corns and garters
i am basically just interested in captive bred snakes, no wild caught please
extreamly interested in a columbian boa constrictor or other BCI locals
blue tougued skinks
crested geckos
make me an offer
please remembered if you are interested in a trade your animal MUST be shipped up to me overnight through Fedex or UPS, i prefer fedex. this runs $35ish. i will be shipping the python by overnight Fedex. this is the absolute best way to insure the animals arrive in good condition.
