Paul, Kelly, and everyone thanks for your kind words. I too, believe that Indian Pythons are one of the best species out there. I even remember a time when true Indians were much more common than Burmese Pythons. Back in the day an American named Jerry Anderson exported these from Karachi, Pakistan. We would always order baby ones and always get 5'-10' long ones. The big wild ones were flighty but did not bite. These were the snakes of choice for dancers, sideshows, etc because they were so naturally tame. As I said the first boid I ever bred were Python m. molurus. In that time Ball Pythons were incredibly RARE to obtain and fetched a price of over $100 each. This was in the late 60s-early 70's. I'm going to do my best next year to breed these fine snakes. As far as pimbura go I brought back in the early to mid eighty's 7-8 pairs of pure pimbura picked from the Zoo on Dehiwela and Kelly you might well have some of the descendents of my Pythons but at present you are the ONLY person I know with real pimbura. I've thought of one other person that's a good friend that still breeds pure Indians and he might have pimbura as well. I'll check it out for you..Again thanks.. ----- Tom Crutchfield www.tomcrutchfield.com
