...of the Barkers book "Pythons of the World, Australia." That would be a great place to start your research. It has lots of great info.

thanks Will i'll look in to it.

you should see my jungles now they look awsome i can't wait to see them as adults. i will take some pictures soon. but the weird think is the female is smaller then my male and she is older than him.

their is another Questions i forgot to ask, "whats with incubators?" What method works best? Should i buy one or make one? And if i make one, how should i do it?

"Is there a website that will tell me the info i'm looking for? And if their isn't their should be!!!!!!!!"

Thank you
from Alex

Yes, your female was born first but she was much slower to start feeding, ...whereas your male came from the second clutch (which came out of the eggs "oinking" and screaming "Feed me!". LOL

I don't know of any websites offhand that really go into incubation methods, but I know I've seen them out there. Maybe someone else can chime in.

I have been loking for a few months now and It seems to be out of print and hard to find.

...on the KS "Books/Publications/Videos" section of the Classifieds every now and again. Just be persistent and keep checking. I'm sure one will float down stream sooner or later.

I think the Barkers still have some copies left. You should try contacting them. The price has gone up on the book, but it's well worth it.

From what I remember, they added that section pretty recently. Like maybe 2-3 months ago. That's why I thought that they still had some left.

But the real trick is breeding and acquiring NICE specimens and producing even nicer specimens from them. Anyone can produce 200 ugly Jungle or other carpets a season. No probs. They breed like flies and are a cinch to keep.

I would suggest reading the numerous online care sheets to get familiar with the terminology and lingo. After that, you can come here and ask SPECIFIC queries.
