> I've never heard of bredl pythons...are they like carpet pythons?

they used to be a subspecies M. spilotes bredli or the centralian carpet python. But they have been split into a seperate species because they don't integrade with other carpet pythons. They are now M. bredli or Bredl's Python.

Carpet pythons and morelia in general are very variable, and they all interbreed in captivity with some regularity. They show that species and subspecies boundaries can be very fluid.

I have some pics of my three in my album

Not him but his father..... He found them first and got them named after him.....
Good guess though James.... Top marks for the connection...

Just to pick up on what SW Morelia said. the feeding response on these guys is phenominal!!!!!!! i think its part of the charm and attraction with them. you know feeding time will always be a giggle with them involved.

but weirdly once mine have eaten they calm right down and dont seem to bother anymore.

funny thing they do!

[LIZARD]
