So I found myself standing infront of one of the stands this weekend with someone selling a snake like her commission depended on it.........

, anyway, guys and girls, meet Steve :cool:

This little guy is so cool :cool:

He's soooo cute, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for this little guy?

These are very nice pythons to keep. I know they look like a type of house snake but how many people have spotted house snakes.

Q ball now you must just arrange a female for Steve. They are quite possibly the easiest pythons there are to breed.

I caught a spotted house snake in one of my dad's shoes once, he ate well but was very skittish (sorry for hi-jacking the conversation!)

I eyed that same snake at the expo!!!!
Sis on you!

Congrats mate

Very long slender body. Congrats Q Ball, good buy.

That is such a cool snake and I must admit, I have been eyeing it since the last expo and want a pair so bad.
All the best with Steve, Q ball.

Very nice Q Ball. I'm sure the person who sold him to you knew you would take good care of him.

Thanx everyone

He's soooo cute, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for this little guy?

I bought him from creatures and critters' stand and I picked him up for R 900.00. It was the last one but they did say they would have available for the expo in March

I will keep checking back with them to see if I can get a sheila for steve

All the research I have done says that a they are as easy as corns to keep and grow to roughly 1-1.2m. Will chat to the mods to post a care sheet.

At this stage he still suffers from "everything is going to eat me" syndrome.

Well done Qball, I own a trio of them myself, they really are a great snake, mine will be ready to breed next season, yippeeee..

@boskoppie:

Please post some pics of yours. I would like to see some pic's of adults if possible :?:

UPDATE:

Steve is so :cool:

He is a bit snappy and he seems to think that pooing on me will make me go away but...... He is eating nicely and has just shed this weekend (had to hand shed most of him :-?

)

As with most babies, he calms right down after awhile

And just to show you how much he likes climbing.

Yip, He is "sitting in the sliding glass rail :roll:
