anyone else keep short-tailed pythons?

If you do, hello and you rock!

How many, what species, how long have you been keeping them, etc?

I got my first, a Malaysian blood (P. brongersmai) three years ago. Her name's Daphne and she's my pride and joy. Two years ago, I got a pair of baby Borneos (P. breitensteini), Augmented and Diminished (see if you can guess which is the male and which is the female )

Short-tailed pythons have a bad reputation, and I've been bitten a couple of times, but my snakes are real sweethearts and I wouldn't trade them for anything...

I used to keep reds,blacks and borneos...all mine were cb and most of them were very handleable..Stunning snakes that carry a somewhat undeserved stereotypical reputation like the retics do in my opinion..Yes WC are usually very aggressive but most WC snakes are..CB bloods and retics can be as docile as royals in my experiences.

I've kept and bred Red and Orange Malaysians, back in the day and up until about 2 months ago had a breeder pair of Marbled Borneos. Truly great snakes with an undeserved reputation indeed.
