Savu Pythons

Abyssus abyssum invocat
I picked up this pair this weekend; its a species I've always have been interested in. They are awesome snakes, their temprement is so dependent on their individual personalities; and not much beats those eyes.

Female-




Male-

Nice snakes! :)

They got names yet? If not, my vote goes for "muddy" and "puddle" as they look a bit like they just crawled through one. :cool:
 
Thanks! For names I'm thinking of Marduk for the male and Tiamat for the female. The male (as you can see from the pictures) isnt afraid to show that he doesnt want to be looked at; the female though would prefer to hide in an uncomfortible situation.

This species was first found in 1993 and have the smallest natural distribution of any python species, being limited to the small island of Sawu off of New Guinea. Their wild population is threatened due to being heavily imported which has been largely restricted now. As hatchlings they start out as a nice burnt orange color, and as they grow they gain more and more freckles and dark spots, with some adults being nearly solid black (with those white eyes). They average 4-6 feet and are slendered bodied, kind of like children's or spotted pythons. Their usually around $70+ for a hatchling.
 
well they are really a fantastic pickup...is there a website where they can be found?
 
I dont know of anyone who'se breeding them regularly, although I do see them occasionally in the classifieds.
 
Haha you wont find any fluffys, babies, montys, and all those other overused serpent names here.
 
The closest thing to that I probably have is a female retic names Mania, after the Roman goddess, and a boa named Sphinx; everything else is either demonic, Native American, Mesopitamian, Celtic, Latin, and even a few named after actual star names.
 
My daughters have a hard enough time with the ones I get to name. None of them can ever remember Rasputin for some reason.:rolleyes:

Since they have named a good portion of them, we have a lot of fun little names like Penguin and Pumpkin :cool:

Hopefully one day they will appreciate the more obscure.(And have a clue who Marduk and Tiamat are).
 
Sure, I'll get some new pictures of them a bit later; its about time for an update of them.
 
um... i'm not sure if i'm looking at heads of birds in your pics and not snakes..

sorry to dig this old thread up... but wow that was quite disturbing.. :sidestep:
