Beautiful one! The one below one is my best find. Going there again at the end of the month, where I hope to see him or his relatives again! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10195295
It is beautiful and big. I am jealous that I wasn't there
Wow, it's huge! I haven't seen one that size here, although I have heard people speak of them! I find the carpet pythons really cranky too.
