Dunn's Python (Wetar Island Python)

Are there any Keepers with this species here?

I have successfully reproduced this species this year and currently we have 12 eggs in the incubator......but as it is a rare snake in US collections, I wondered if it was equally uncommon across the big pond?

Sorry,your pic does not appear,you have to use a phpbb link,not a html URL
Works good with http://www.imageshack.us/

Choose "Hotlink for forums" when the pic has been loaded from your computer then copy-paste the link in your post.

Here we mainly use latin scientific names 90% of the time,as vernacular names are pretty confusing...what's the latin name of the species you mentionned?

I should have included that.......my bad!

The species is under review and there are two different papers in process that will elevate it to full specific standing ([url]Liasis[/url] [url]dunni[/url]).......

The species comes from the Island of Wetar in Indonesia and was thought to be extinct 40 years ago, like many other hidden gems in Indonesia, it simply was somewhere they were not looking.

Could you show us how it looks like,now?

hopefully that works!

Great!Would you have a shot showing the whole body and head?

The shot with the head in it is as the last egg was laid!

the shot of it eating was 1 day after the last egg was laid.......you can see how very thin she was after laying 12 eggs! I will get some current pictures of her and the male .She is back to pre breeding weight and eats like a percheron!

I included a shot of my son with a two year old Python reticulatus...a species I DO NOT endorse as a "pet" as they grow to a size that requires experience, large enclosures and forethought to the danger that a large adult aniomal poses....and obviously I was present, my son is not allowed to be with any of the snakes without Daddy helping!

Well..down from 12 eggs to 10 eggs..........
Breaker flipped yesterday and I wasn't home.incubator reached 96 degrees......so far only two of them crashed as of today.but possibly the whole clutch is lost......................................UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Awwww that's really bad luck,hope for you next clutch will be fine!And thanks for the pics!

well the remaining 10 eggs are still good...so I can breathe again.I was seriously distraught, believeing the worst (that all had probably been cooked).......so hope still exists, the flame rekindled!

Great,I'm relieved for you it turns out that way.Please let us know when the hatchlings come out.
