How cute! Are you going to keep him? What does he eat?

He/she is beautiful! I love snakes - are you near the Pilbara? We're over in QLD, on the Sunshine Coast so we only get big 2 metre carpet pythons.

He's pretty tame.. I think you should keep him, better him staying safe and well fed with you than being squished by a car. We've seen two snakes crossing our street in the last week.

Oooo. I've always wanted a snake. I know I can't handle one, personally. They get far too large and require too much of me, plus they can possibly eat my cats. But still, I've always wanted a snake.

Noodle is Neato. Are you keeping him, or setting him free?

Wow, he's WAY cool, that is unbelievably tiny.

I always liked snakes until my friends 3ft black & white snake pooped on his brother (who had been asked to hold it while Matt went to the loo, lol) then I knew I could never clean something like that up, bleugh. I could handle looking after a tiny one


I did look it up on the internet just to make sure they were real before I told my friend about it (just so I didn't fall for a gag) and there is some guy selling them for $1000 each - good find!

They eat small geko's and skinks and pinkies, when they mature they eat small bats and other small reptiles. As for keeping it, its highly illegal to do so even with a reptile licence until they add this species to the list of ones you can keep. You can keep them in NSW and QLD i beleive if you ave a licence and they sell from any where between $1000 and $1300, we get heaps up here, this is the second one to be found in this house in two years, the other one we found in the bath tub. I will hang onto him until i get a chance to go out to the national park and release it next week.
We get the smallest and the largest here in the Pilbara, fro the Pygmy to the Olive python whic grows in excess of 6m.

ooh can you please send him to me I have just moved my young corn into a bigger home so there is plenty of room for him and there is a whole load of pinkies I no longer need in the freezer. I am sure he would love to come and live with me
