    It's a Brindle Python, nearly 1yr old. At the moment it's nameless, DS needs to wait a few months to find out the sex. I'm still not real comfortable with it up close but am surprised how I'm warming up to it.

    Are you sure it is a Brindle Python and on license. Brindle Pythons are not an Australian species and your not meant to have them.

    Yes, it's definately a Brindle Python and he has a licence, he bought it from a pet shop last week.

    Okay, just to let you know it is an exotic species generally a Burmese python (it will grow very big) and they call it that because of its markings which your not allowed to own in Australia. I don't know what they have put in your sons licence though because if it says Brindle python then when he sends it back in for renewal they will know he has an exotic which they can then seize so I would check it out so that your son does not risk having it taken off him. If it is a Brindle then I would forgo the licence.

    My other thought is that you he may have a childrens or stimsons python, these are Australian species (will grow no bigger then 4ft) and because of the types of markings it has they are calling it a brindle python. We breed Stimsons and we have a them from all different areas of Australia so they all have there own names.

    Thank you so much for your information, his licence is a Basic Wildlife Licence, doesn't state on it what type of snake he has. I'll check with DS later, I do remember the guy in the pet shop telling him his snake would grow to about 8ft, it is already around 3ft now.
