since i could walk, litterally, ive chased all sorts of herps around, some bugs, and even caught some. i got some hermit crabs when i was 6, which lead to some anoles at 8, which lived for quite some time. and id still catch anything i could, but i was only allowed herps with legs, no snakes. didnt stop me from catching all sorts of snakes growing up. my step father got the boot when i was 16, which was the one thing keeping me from getting snakes...and boy did i...almost 10 years later ive had to give up my pretty decent reptile collection, just over 150 or so species, and ive started over, im more specialized now tho, i really only keep pythons these days, and thats really what interests me, i still like other snakes, and lizards, frogs, toads, all of em, but pythons are the only ones im truely passionate about...heres my list



0.1 Apodora papuan - papuan python

0.1 Leiopython albertisii - white lipped python

0.1 Morelia amethistina - manokwari barneck scrub python

0.1 Morelia amethistina - Aru island scrub python

0.1 Morelia clastolepis - Moluccan (scrub) python

1.1 Morelia spilota ssp. - Irian jaya carpet python

1.0 Morelia spilota mcdowelli - Striped coastal carpet python

0.1 Morelia spilota mcdowelli - High contrast queensland carpet

1.1 Liasis mackloti mackloti - Timor island macklots python

0.1 Python brongersmai - Sumatran red blood python

0.1 Python regius - ball python



im working on pairing stuff up,lol, im very female heavy, but alot of people tend to hang onto females and not many, atleast with scrubs, make it into hobbyists hands. the papuan and macklots are up for sale or trade, not an add, due to my wanting to focus on scrubs, white lips, bloods and timor pythons, the ball python is my personal pet, shell only be bred if i find a male that id really like to prove out. everything else will be paired up and eventually be part of various breeding groups. theres still 2 species of scrub i need to aquire, Southerns and Tanimbars. ok ive rambled enough, peace
