Default papuan pythons

Anyone ever kept or had any dealings with them? they look very impressive and a bit different!
Possibly something i'd like to get one day!

their big and grey! was just looking at papuan boa's on crystal palace reps. look pretty nice, and cheap, but i prefer things that get big enough to do you some damage!

Not commonly kept and not bred enough in my opinion...

There's one for sale at Ashford Aquatics by Heathrow

just like the snakes that feel big and heavy. just my preferance i suppose. some like corns, some like royals, some like carpets. i just like big snakes! i don't necessarily want them to do me damage. just the possibility that they could is what i like, its exciting!
