What is up with Python?

[rhite]

Did Python go out of business? I am having a hard time finding another one. Everywhere I have looked is out of stock on them. I have tanks upstairs and downstairs and would like another for the convenience. Did they get bought out by someone else?

you can allways buy a knock off python at petsmart i know the have like two different kinds

What I like about the python is the softer hose. I bought a Lee's but the hose is real stiff and when I roll it up in the bucket it is a p.i.t.a. to get laid out straight again. Never have that problem with the python.

Try your local hardware store... you can pretty much get everything you need ( like a nice soft hose) not sure if they carry a similar water attachment ( I've heard you can get metal ones painted, instead of the plastic)... but I replaced mine recently with an Aqueon one and had no issues with swapping the peices out... same tube size. Gardening/plumbing sections will have the base parts. and it's also alot cheaper. wish I woulda gone that route.. and plan too once my python tubeing goes on me ( I've had it like 10 yrs.).

Probably just a back order thing. Pretty sure they are not out of business.

Nope, they're gone; it looks like they went out either last year or this year.

The Python is shown as discontinued on Marine Depot's website and isn't listed any more on many other major fish supply websites.

Nope, not gone, but in trouble.
