Children's Pythons (Antaresia Childreni) are a very cool choice.
I believe Children's Pythons are the second smallest python species in the world, only Anthill Pythons (A. Perthensis) is a few inches shorter. And they rock too!
Most adults will reach 2 to 3 feet. They are very hardy and husbandry is identical to Spotted Pythons (who are the best snake ever).
Babies are boldly patterned with a light colored background and dark brown spots just like spotted pythons, however, with Children's Pythons, this overtime fades away until they are almost patternless with a nice natural looking browny gold color.
Very good choice
