Black Head Python


Guess what we just bought a Black Head Python female 1year old she is just beautiful she has spots just like a leapered. We would like breed her in 2 years as she will be 3 years old time to mate fingers crossed. We are slowly breeding more and more reptiles to sell and for our collection.
We came home on the weekend and found an old Blue Tongue that has been living in the back yard for as long as we have lived there which is about 4 years now. How time ticks on so quickly. He had been attacked by a cat and was missing the top have of his mouth so we called WIRES a lady came to collect him and said that he was going to have to be put down which was so said to here. The kids were upset to here that the Blue Tongue was going to heaven because of someones feral cat which i would like to kill.

Breading Live Foods

Hi there does anyone know how to breed crickets, wood roaches, mealworms or anything that my lizards can eat? We don't know anything about breeding live food so any information would be great thanks.
As we are breeding Bearded Dragons and would like to breed our own food as food can be hard to get. We looked for reptile supplies and reptile supplies Australia on the internet the other day and found that there are some good reptile supply shops around also places to sell and but reptiles as we may have some beardies to sell and will buy a python maybe a Black-Headed python or something like that as they are a cool snake.
We are starting to get right in to reptiles and would like to buy more and more reptile to bred as pets and to sell to other reptile owners that just love reptiles as they are animals that we all should be looking after and caring for.

More Bearded Dragons

We bought more Bearded Dragons last week 4 female 1 male had them out on the weekend to see if they would mate and yes they did mate we didn't think that they would. So more babies to come. We should be breeding about 300 to 400 little Beardies now.
When we sell some of the offspring i would like to get a Black-headed Python now they look cool with there black head it's so shiny and smooth.
We also brought 2 Children s Pythons they are about 11months old our kids love them they have them in there bedrooms to look after if they can and if not i have them back in the lounge room with all the other reptiles.
Dorothy's got a bite from my mates Black-Headed Python the other day it was so funny you should have seen her jump.

Breeding Time

We saw our beardies mating last night they were stuck to getther for about 5 minutes it was so amazing to see these lizards mating somthing we'll never foget it will now take a matter of time about four to six weeks before she lays her eggs and then about another forthy five to fifthy five days until thay hatch out which will be so cool to see.
It won't take long until i have to start building a incubator for her eggs to go into and hpe everthing goe's well which it should i've been told that they are easy to breed compared to other lizards and snakes. I was glad to here that as ive never bred Bearded Dragons before or any reptile.The only thing i have bred is rats, crickets and wood roaches which is pretty easy to do.
I might start looking for a fridge to make an incubator out of i heard that they make a good one i'll just need a heat cord, thermostat,fan,perlite,vermiculite and a containor for the eggs i think thats a good start for now and maybe the bloke at the reptile shop can help me with any other questions i might have or think of.
The wait is now on to see our babie Bearded Dragons
We willpost some photos as they hatch out of there little eggs the size of a five cent peace.
