I eat human infants. They, like everything else, taste like chicken. What?

I believe Kelly Haller does?

Here are a few shots I have taken over the years of pure Sri Lanka molurus from my collection. The female in the middle photo has been in with a male for several months. I saw numerous copulations and she ovulated a couple of weeks ago.

Do you sell them or do you only keep them? How big are your breeders? I'm thinking about getting a blood this summer but the Sri Lankans are so pretty and I've heard usually only get around 10' as opposed to the Burms and Indians that are monstrous. I'm kind of debating with my self over which species interests me the most.

Thanks for the comments. Sri Lanka pythons are definitely smaller than Indians or Burmese. Average adult females top out at between 10 and 12 feet. The large females in my previous photos are around 11 feet and have pretty much stopped growing. Average males usually run 7 to 9 feet as adults. As I said earlier, I believe the one female to be gravid and hopefully she will drop a nice clutch in early July.

Many pure Sri Lanka tend to be more aggressive than other molurus subspecies, but not always. These two females are more active than Indians or Burmese, but they are easy to handle and have never shown aggressive behavior. Temperament is genetic, and this should show in the young as well.

The absolute unquestionable markers of pure Sri Lanka are the 6th upper labial scale touching the orbit of the eye, the almost total lack of the arrow marking on top of the head, and the high number of “H” shaped markings running down the back. Some pure Sri have a half arrow mark on the head, but so do some Indian or Burmese intergrades, so this can make their true identification problematic. Thanks again,

Kelly

We currently have a colony of 6.6 pure ceylonese adult breeders. We fully intend to expand this number in the near future with choice holdback raisers and with the acquisition of other, pure, unrelated stock.

Here are some old pictures from last year or the year before. I will take new pics soon and will post them in a new thread.

I hope y'all like the pics
