WATER PYTHON
(Liasis fuscus)
These
beautifully coloured snakes obtain a maximum length of around
2.0 metres. Whilst they have a reputation of being a very snappy
snake, with frequent handling they can acquire a nice docile
nature. The Katherine locality seem to have the better qualities
of both the QLD and Darwin animals, that is nicely coloured
and pretty well behaved.

OLIVE PYTHON
(Liasis olivaceus)
Olive
pythons make a great pet; are friendly and very inquisitive.
These snakes obtain a large size, up to 4 metres and can weigh
well over 15kgs. Olives
are one of my favourite pythons and although they lack bright
colours or patterns i am amazed by these animals, they have
a very clean and sleek appearance.
