I like you, have been looking for an Olive Python myself. Have you had any luck locating any? I would REALLY love to know where & how to get one; I think these are some of the most gorgeous pythons! Although I've not been able to find any. If you have any info. whatsoever PLEASE email me beck - I would greatly appreciate it! Also, feel free to email me back directly at ccirone@bellsouth.net Thanks in advance for your help!

Didn't see the classified but I know Jeff Hartwig produced some this season. They are sharp and he is one of the nicest people to work with.

I think I can say they are my favorite....

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL snakes!!! I have a Redtail (still a baby, but she'll grow up to look just like yours). Also, I'm getting an olive snake in another couple weeks. Kind of nice to see what they're going to look like when they get older!

Again - beautiful snakes, man!!!

My 7.5' male is slim, as is my almost 9' male. My 10' female is 24lbs.... Had breeding last year, but no eggs. Photoperiod was ok, but thermo was off. Trying again this year.
