I finally got a new snake and it's a Timor. It was the only one available in Europe so I'm very lucky. He's about 9-10 months old. Very shy but, easy to handle once you get him out.
HATCHLING Oenpelli pythons are sometimes up to 40 INCHES LONG. 😅 They're so dope. And i know Ryan Young is breeding Timors, or lesser Sundas pythons. He has some available now actually. I know because I just purchased a USCBB Tanahmerah scrub from him! 😊
You are 100% correct. I missed it in one of the several “takes” I did of the video and didn’t catch it until about a week ago and I was hoping someone would catch it before I put it in the description because people read comments before the description so thank you!
I'm keeping an eye out for them that's forsure 😁🐍💕 it's usually one of my first questions when talking to other people that own snakes "kno anyone with macklots available" 😂haha!
@@brittieeboareptiles3690 Unfortunately the ones that mature almost solid black and highly iridescent are almost impossible to find. Most of the ones you see these days have a lot of yellow/brown and not very iridescent when compared to the black and cream speckled ones available in the 90's. But I'm still always looking for nice examples of them.
I've thought about getting a Timor, but they are apparently very difficult to breed in captivity. There's imports, but that's not very ethical considering this species is considered vulnerable by the IUCN.
Correct on both counts. It’s why I haven’t pulled the trigger as well. I’m looking at LTCs or cbb which carry a significant price tag, and much rarer but doesn’t have the ethical conundrum.
@@JzsReptiles Aslong as you breed them i dont think its unethical. Its more ethical than hybridizing them with superdwarf retics like some people do. They are pretty as hell, but still not prettier than a pure timor IMO. I prefer bateaters because burms and retics are both commonly bred enough that we dont have to worry about them as much as things like timor pythons. Im also worried abouy indian pythons. Im worried they are about to disappear from the USA in the next decade or so. There are only a few, mostly severely inbred, indian pythons left in the USA. We cant even transport them across state lines unless you "gift them" to someone. They are much more strictly regulated than other species, presumably because they are more cold tolerant than most large snakes and they are worried they will become invasive. But they are playing it off like its because they are endangered. The thing is, indian pythons arent actually endangered. They are actually very common in india, yet they keep them on the endangered species list anyways, which allows american officials to overregulate them. The regulations on burms and retics are nothing compared to all of the red tape around indian pythons. As far as i know, there are 0 in my state, so ill never get to breed them unless someone decides to gift me 2 indian pythons worth thousands of dollars. Unlike burms and retics, I cant even legally buy one across state lines. I do have an african rock python, but ill likely never get an indian rock python. Ill be lucky to ever see another one again. I remember holding them in reptile shops back in the late 90s when they were common.
