Does anyone here breed/keep/work with any of the Liasis Genus Pythons, besides Water Pythons, that is? Just curious..

Matthew

They're all I do... Leiopython and Bothrochilus too. Grad school is killing me though so breeding will be slow for the next season or two. There are several others here too, most of whom have considerably more experience than me!

Does Leiopython count as seperate? LOL. Too much splitting going on in Taxonomy these days!
Good luck with Grad school, BTW.

olivaceus olivaceus... my absolute favorite!

Only have a lone male, though.

I know Jeff Hartwig breeds them (got mine from him), and Chance Duncan had a clutch this season.

I'm looking into picking up a pair of savu's...

I know where a lot of baby olives are As to other Liasis, I have MacLott's and used to have Savus.

I also still consider Leiopython as a Liasis in all but name. Its the only one I've seen in the flesh, afterall..
After the Storm of THE Century back in 1993, a friend of mine found one roaming wild in Florida! It died a couple weeks later though, because of a Respiratory infection. RIP.
