Had some spare time...and figured I'd shoot a little feeding clip of my pair of baby Bismarck Ringed Pythons from Tom Keogan to start of the Halloween spirit!

Oh...I just meant that a video washes out the color of any ringed python, and that they look better in person.

But to answer your question, I live in south east Florida (Jupiter).
I guess if you were close by and really wanted to, I could let you have a look at them.

Wow, you are pretty close!

Well, if you wanted to, you could send my a PM and I could probably meet to let you have a look at them (and any others you were interested in seeing).

It doesn't really matter to me...I don't mind taking a little time for another herp enthusiast.

Alex, pretty cool video! I am glad to see they are doing well for you. Now I have to get you hooked on some white lipped pythons!! LOL

Thanks!

Oh, and don't worry...it's already far too late! LOL

I just didn't have enough time or money for white-lipped babies this year, but I will probably want to hit you up for at least a pair of your top-notch golden colored ones next year!!

Nice ringed pythons...They are the best looking pythons in my opinion...Especially the high contrast ones that keep the color as they age....Gorgeous.

Thanks man. I'm certainly glad to have aquired them.

do they all lose their colors with age?
i thought they all did, but if they kept that nice red color that would be more than awesome. also, how big do they get?

Most will fade to an ugly brownish burnt color, but some (like Tom's line) will keep a large amount of color into adulthood. They go from extremely bright orange to golden or reddish orange color. (Check out the pictures Tom Keogan has posted to get a better idea.)

As for size, they max out at 6-7 ft.

Here's a video of Tom Koegen's Ringed Pythons...his adults are still gorgeous.

Yeah they are! That video was actually the first time I saw Tom's rings, and what got my interest.
