I wish we could keep retic pythons. Even if wasn't a morph. They would be real fun to keep. I love the berms and boa's, rock pythons and all that. Don't know much about the different types of morphs. Not soo fun to learn about when you can't have one. Its great to see what other keepers love to show off. You americans can get just about anything. Thats a stunning snake, i'll remember that one.

that aside willow the aussie government is in talks as to releasing some rough scaled pythons out to zoo's across the world.this is due to how successfull they have been with captive breeding programes.they are now pretty easy to get hold of in australia.

and we have the german breeders who seem to magically manage to get hold of aussie stuff somehow

i predict rough scaled pythons will be outside australia 5 to 10 years from now.

also one last thing,it will be 100% harder to get stuff legally into australia than it is to get stuff legally out of the place.

They are beautiful snakes. I love all Morelia.

after much digging around and a bit of luck i have found out there are rough scaled pythons in the usa.

Terry Phillip has bred them.they are owned by reptile gardens.

this is all i know but maybe you can find out where reptile gardens is in the states willow.

its actually got me a tad excited as if they're in the states then sooner or later american breeders will have them.this means we can get them exported over to the uk.

A google search puts "Reptile Gardens" as being in south dakota. Checked out their page, looks like they mostly have hots, no mention of rough scaled pythons. However, one of their curators of reptiles is Terry Phillip.

So if anyone is in South Dakota, you have my condolences, but could you check out Reptile Gardens? =)

thanks for that mate.it brings me one step closer to finding out if ive been informed correctly.

As you said shaun, these will be readily available for you guys soon enough. I find it rather funny that it always starts in germany though. Our governent is supposedly still looking into exporting some, whether or not they actually will is another story.
With the amount of exoctics available here now, it tells me that it must rather easy to import and expot illegally.

to be honest mate my post on import export was me trying to wind the guy that started the thread up (i'm sorry).i just felt he was a tad out of order the way he put his post across.i'm old enough now to know better.

i e mailed Terry Phillip at reptile garden,so hopefully he will be able to shed some light on whether ive been informed correctly.

re Germany,ive had those very same thoughts for a long time now mate.as ive said before i'm not complaining as it gives the rest of europe access to all the decent aussie stuff.so come on the germany " where are all the roughies " ?????

The aussies are worse about their native wildlife than china is about pandas.
Maybe they fear the tourism loss?

Come to Australia - We have nothing to offer but weird animals, most of which can kill you!
