Our bigger specimens are in cages measuring 48" X 30" X 20-28" high.
Depending on the species you get, you can go smaller in some respect. Moluccans have a tendency to stay a bit smaller but not always. Tanimbars are very small pythons that can be kept in 2 ft cube cages. It all depends.

Tanimbars are rarely successfully reproduced. There have only been about 7 clutches ever hatched and the fertility rates are usually low, less than 50%. I know of one that was hatched this season and 4 eggs currently incubating but those are all not going anywhere....they're staying with the breeder. There are a hanful of people who have adult WC specimens and a couple who have true CB ones but no one will sell them.
To put it simply, your cahnces of finding any will be slim to none unless some are imported. Keep on the looout for them and something is bound to pop up in the next year or so...maybe.

for close to a year and a half. I used to have 2.2, but lost 1.2 and just traded away my male after not being able to find a female for him. They are very few and far between, best of luck finding them.

The link didn't work, I guess the ad was removed. If that was the one Jordan has, I traded it to him because I couldn't find a female. Ended up with a nice pair of tracyae though
