olive pythons can get quite large 8 foot and more a distinct possibility, they also have to put it mildly rather unpredictable temperaments,and are generally not an overtly friendly reptile,as for water pythons they as far as i know are much the same but obviously more aquatic. Smile

I have a pair, still young but very placid. The adults I have met are also very easy to handle although very strong. Most reports are that they are even tempered even when large.

I've got a Macklotts python bit snappy in the cage, out the cage very hand-able, smaller than the olive 6-8 foot depending on male or female. From what I've read Olive's can reach the 9-10 foot mark, lovely looking snake but I've had to settle for the poor mans Olive snake and I've not been disappointed yet.
