Best ones are in books. Try Mike Swan, keeping and bred ding Australian pythons as the section on olives is very good.

planning on getting this book sometime, i was looking at it yesterday, can only find them in australia though so i think its roughly £30 but ive been told by others its a very good read.

I'd recommend it for Aussie pythons :2thumb: Got my copy for about £30..

pythons of the world volume 1 by dave and tracy barker is also a very good read!!

does it mention about olives being kept in captivity, heating temps etc etc

or is it aussie pythons in the wild?

 

[Snakey Josh]

Well it's about keeping them in captivity in Australia, so the book tends to miss out details that we need to know in England, but It's still got good info in it

Pythons of the World Vol 1 is hard to come by and expensive when you do isn't it?

yes it is hard to come by these days and yes i paid £80 for my copy 14 years ago!! but a very good read also the line drawing are out standing and the centre plates are stunning photos!

I have both of these books, and in my opinion they are both essential for anyone interested in keeping Australian Pythons.

put a deposit on a cb11 male to pick up in a few month. I reserached these guys last year made notes etc etc but moved house 2 weeks ago and have lost them. i know about sizes they reach, temperament etc etc. its just the general care, temps, humidity etc it took me a few weeks last time just to find this sort of info.

thats the reason i didnt get one last year because i couldnt find someone/ a shop within a decent distance of me until my local rep brought 3 back from hamm, two were sold instantly ( a m & f pair) and i jumped at the chance of the remaining male.

Thanks bud
