Anyone on here keep/breed pygmy pythons (Antaresia perthensis)? Would love to see some photos and hear some first hand stories on their care etc.

Yes poisonjedhead, they are also known as anthill pythons. I have been given the names of a couple of people who keep them over here, only to find out they don't keep them any longer - a sign of how difficult they are to start off as babies perhaps?

I have heard there clutch size is really small, no more than two or three eggs.
I have also been told they command a very high price, somewhere along the lines as one would expect to pay for a high end morph royal?

good luck tracking them down they are really great snakes.
