Had my little boy out the other night and grabbed a couple of pics. He's a Lesser Platinum Royal Python and is just a year old. I love his colouring.....so pretty :Love: :Love:

And just so she's not left out here's my female Normal Royal Python Prunella who about 1.5 years old.

by **Netty** Fri 4 Sep 2009 - 19:34

Thanks Tilly..............he's the little one you saw last year right after we picked him up :D

by **Wilsonnw8** Fri 4 Sep 2009 - 22:52

oh yes of course! and I was just as bessotted then! he seems whiter though or paler in those pics, do they get a bit paler as they get older? he's gorgeous

That is a gorgeous boy, in fact both of them are. Very lovely markings x

Thanks Amy thumbup

He definatley has gotten paler as he's grown.

This is him the day we picked him up so was much darker then.

He is paler, though his markings are very vivid still!

by **Netty** Fri 4 Sep 2009 - 23:15

I do love his markings....would have liked a Mojave female to breed him with, as they produce blue eyed leucistics which are quite sought after.

He's getting a big boy now though and doesn't fit in my pocket any more LOL

is it difficult to get hold of a mojava female? ( I dont know all that much about pythons! and yay he is lighter its not just me having a bad memory! lol

by **Netty** Sat 5 Sep 2009 - 12:33

They are fairly easy to get hold of but you're talking about £300 for one!!!

This is a Mojave

And this is a blue eyed leucistic from a rep forum....just scroll down to see them.

£300 is pretty good though, as this time last year it would have been £600!!!

by **Netty** Sat 5 Sep 2009 - 13:02

Plus both the Mojave and Lesser Platinum are co-dominant. The Lesser P came from breeding a Platinum to a Normal which produced about half Lesser Ps so we're hoping that by putting him with our normal female (which is dominant) we should get some back and maybe some other similar morphs.

Well I'm glad to hear your snake has outgrown your pocket. As beautiful as they are, you running around with snakes in your pockets is a bit of a scary thought... :shock:

by **Netty** Mon 7 Sep 2009 - 14:05

:lol!: he loved it my pocket....would curl up and go to sleep bless him and he was soooo tiny....I can't wait till he's a proper big boy though....he's going to look great :Love:

by **crystal** Mon 7 Sep 2009 - 14:36

They're sooo gorgeous, it's funny cause i've never been into reps until i met you guys! My husband is seriously thinking about getting our son a snake or lizard, it's more cause he doesn't want a dog ( which is what the rest of us want!)

by **Netty** Mon 7 Sep 2009 - 14:43

Thanks Crystal.......Royals actually do make very good childrens pets as they are more likely to curl into a ball than bite and corn snakes are very good too (obviously with supervision). If handled regularly from a baby you shouldn't have any problems at all.

In fact I've had no bites from any of our snakes but 2 from my cresties :lol!:

And they are very therapeutic....if you're ever stressed then handling a snake is so calming LOL

by **crystal** Mon 7 Sep 2009 - 14:45

Knowing Liam though he'd try smuggling it into school :lol!:

by **Netty** Mon 7 Sep 2009 - 15:10

:lol!: ideal for show and tell thumbup

by **Assaye** Wed 7 Oct 2009 - 17:51

God, they are stunning Netty!

My housemate is scared of snakes so I can't have one =(

by **Netty** Wed 7 Oct 2009 - 18:45

Thanks Assaye....such a shame that so many people are scared of them cos they really are great and lovely to handle :D

by **Newfishy** Wed 7 Oct 2009 - 20:20

holy cow, get the female you need to make the pretty blue eyed ones. those are actualy the first snakes I have ever thought cute.

by **Netty** Wed 7 Oct 2009 - 20:44

Give me a few hundred pounds and I will :lol!:

by **kizno1** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 21:57
