Very underated little python, getting a breeding group together currently, got a lovely nearly adult female yesterday, had a thing for biting her previous owner but a big softy for me and my other little one is fast but never bites, not long had them so no pics yet. As for caresheets I cant say I have found a good one yet. Currently keeping them like corns with with a bit more height in the rubs with bendy exo terra vines, remains to be seen if they actually use them or not. Because I found a lot of contradicting info on the net so working on a bit of trial and error.

I keep mine in a set up very similar to corns, with a statted mat and red heatbulb on a dimmerstat. They can be a bit fiesty as yearlings i find, but mellow out into really nice handleable pythons...plus...they stay really small. What more could you ask for?
If you get a pair and plan to breed, you only have to lower temps a few degrees in winter, and off they go. Easiest species to breed you"ll ever come across!
Oh!...They do like their hides though, and a branch or two to climb around on.
