Scrub?

PythonGuy24 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-27-2005, 05:14 AM

I saw and am a little interested in getting a scrub python and know they are agressive and they can reach large sizes, but do they get to the size of burms and when they grow do they lose the agressiveness like most snakes? Also how much should I expect to pay for a good healthy snake and where should I get them?

I see what you mean. But that Halmahera is the coolest scrub I've ever seen.

They get large and theres no way in #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^& I want a 10' plus snake that is agressive as those to mistake me for food. I'll pass on that offer. lol

Oh ya and for a scrub I read they go for $600 on up to $900 so might not be worth it for such a mean snake. They can be "calm" but nothing beats a nice rtb!!!

WOW gues the one in the fauna classifieds would probably be sick being that it is $150.

Depending on the type it is, it may be or just a cheap import. Never know really. I may be wrong about the prices though

Oh I found it. I belive Barnecks are one of the more common and there fore don't go for quite as much and it is a young male which really doesn't help the price. Looks like a nice snake.
Here is something that says prices

You might want to try Moluccans. They are beautiful animals and tend to have better dispositions than a lot of scrubs. A real joy to work with, IMO.
