This is a female Tannimbar python. These are still rare and hopefully will be reproduced more often in the future. I hope you like the photo. Derek

Congrats on the new Tans Derek.
But I saw your post and it got me wondering something.
For a few years now, I have noticed folks spelling Tanimbar with two n's. I have searched and searched on maps and atlases everywhere I could find them and nowhere on any of these maps/atlases has Tanimbar been spelled with two n's.

Also, I did a search on Google and when you search for "Tannimbar", you only get referred to posts about the snakes. When you search for "Tanimbar", you get info about the snakes and the islands itself. I found that kinda humorous but interesting. It seems that we herpers are writing our own "geography lessons" now!

I am not jumping you about your spelling in the least...I just figured I could address what I found in your post as it was applicable.
Anyway....As I said before, congrats and good luck with those!
Now you need more of them!

...was checking out the site links on MoreliaPythons.com. I believe Inland Empire (Nick Mutton's site) had them spelled this way. I just remember it from there because he has SO MANY photos of this species. If I am spelling it incorrectly I appreciate you letting me know.
And you are correct, I do need many more of these little guys as well as some of your Axanthic Mollucans! You have absolutely beautiful animals by the way, Yasser. Hope all goes well in '04 for Spitfire! Derek

I certainly hope you are successful. I have my hands full now, but within the "five-year plan" I'd love to acquire a tan. Pretty animals- perfect scrub size. Again, good luck!

Its good to see pics of such a great snake on the net. I caught my pair like this a few nights ago. I hope every year for eggs and this year is the same. This pair loves to mate and not lay eggs but this year could be the year( wishfull thinking). Anyways you have some great snakes have fun with them.

Thanks Ryan Young

Great photo, Ryan, I wish you well and hope to see you and others who have these pythons produce them in the future. Mine are now about 18-20 months old and have a few years to go. Thanks for sharing. Derek
