Hi Everyone

I'm looking into these are can't find any really good info. I want to check husbandry etc for them, and also prices. I've posted on another forum and I've been told around £1,000 to £3,000 each. Don't know about morphs etc for this species, but I have always like the Burmese, I just couldn't keep a full size one hence looking at these guys. Any info, care sheets, recommendations etc gratefully appreciated.

Claire

I would also be interested in this information, i think the husbandry would be the same as a normal burmese python but viv size could be smaller. hopefully some one will come and prove me wrong or correct.

Hi All,
Sorry Royal Crazy- only ever had 1 PM from you, this Saturday and replied today. Sorry for the delay.
Dwarf burmese.
I have 10 or so. All UK bred.
Fiesty as juveniles and do seem to calm down with age. I just hang mine over my neck when cleaning now.
Adults very small. 4-5 feet.
Very few around. No one I know of, except me has bred them, outside Indonesia, in the World. Babies from gravid wild adults from 5/6 Years ago in the USA account for most of the USA ones.
A few males have been crossed out with normal size females.
We have had some babies we bred in Indonesia also.
Babies hatch very small.
I have approx 3 Year old ones that I bred and they are weighing in at around 1200 grams for the largest now. They ar around 4 feet now I guess.
Very difficult to breed adult females, so the only hope is that the next generation will prove easier. I will let you know next Year!
