Children's Pythons and Anthill Pythons?

Does anyone know some breeders for Children's Pythons and Anthill Pythons? My friend loves pythons and boas but really wants to stay with something smaller in the 3-4 foot range that doesn't eat full grown rats. I keep suggesting cornsakes, but whatever... lol:shrugs:
 
you could suggest a rosy boa, they are really pretty in my opinion, and i think get full grown to 4 feet.
 
There are a couple Childreni breeders in the US, if you google for them you should find Bob Clark, and a couple others.

Spotted Pythons are a little esier to find (might depend on your region)

If I can find 1-2 females I'll be breeding them within the next 2 years.

I don't know that I'd want an anthills. They are a little pricey (could be mistaken) and are really small. Childreni's are the next step up in size than spotted. Might also want to look at Macklott's Python's.

Best of luck!

IF you are still looking in the spring of 09/2010 give me a shout.
 
I think that price is pretty typical. There just aren't many of them in the US. You cannot import native Australian species into the US any more, so I'm sure that's reflected in the price. Plus I hear its hard to get them started because they're soooo tiny and don't typically like eating mice right away.

I like Stimson's pythons, but they're very uncommon here too. If you find one its usually bland-looking and a few hundred dollars. There are some great looking ones in Australia.
 
Anthills are apparently very difficult to start as mouse pinks are too big for them... hence their rarity and expense. I think they're beautiful ... they are the smallest python in the world, and I am fascinated with them. I wish they were easily available and as cheap as $600 a piece over here though :)

I think spotted and children's are similar but bigger and a bit easier.
 
yeah my avatar is my children's and he is about 15 inches and a great eater so far.

the 3 species are all Aussie and look similar. One may be more reddish and one more greenish but other than a few inches they are very similar.

I'd say divide the price by 10 and look at a children's or spotted!

Actually I think the best mice to use would be pygmy mice for them. Here is a thread I started some time ago.
 
Hi,
We are expecting a clutch of "Cape York" Spotted Pythons this year. I do believe she is gravid. I have witnessed multiple hook-ups and she is very plump. I should know within the next few weeks if the breeding trial was a success. If you would like check back with me and we could go from there. Hope this helps.
Jay :cool:
