I have been interested in reptiles for as long as I can remember and have kept a variety of skinks,gecko's and dragons since I was 8 years old.  I have always been interested in snakes, however, pythons were scarce in Country NSW where I grew up so I tended to catch venomous snakes. Moving to the Central Coast of NSW in my early 20's changed that.

Having these opportunities over the past 2 decades has allowed me to keep and breed most Australian reptiles, with a bias towards pythons in last 10 years.

Over the past 8 years or so i have been concentrating on breeding different types of Antaresia pythons, not just looking at localities but more at specific traits.

Colours, patterns, lines ,speckles ect.  Line breeding for specific traits is new in Australia, besides using the albino gene which tends to be a predictable trait.

 

Hope you like my collection and agree that it must be Antaresia's all the way.

 

 

Made some new friends in 2010 and it's always good to catch up with some old ones too.
