Calico offspring for sale

For Sale: An outstanding pair of young and growing black headed pythons from our Calico female.

SOLD

This is the very last pair of Calico offspring to be offered for sale by Sonnemann's Snakes.

Our old Calico female (9.5), was paired with one of her sons last season to produce this pair.

The Sire 4.61 is exceptionally quiet and a well marked animal with great genetics.

Their Grandfather (2.57) was the original Axanthic male born at this facility.

The Great Grandfather (FF) was pinstriped and displayed reduced black banding, which has carried down to the red banding of this female.

This male (FF) was the result of four generations of selective captive breeding from the original breeders.

The pair for sale is 6 months old, and are extremely healthy robust animals. They are very quiet and handle well. Each one has had over 20 unassisted feeds, and are now ready to be sold. They are showing good colour and patterning with good clear background colouring. The female is lacking black on body scales and is an exceptional snake even without the Calico breeding behind her.These babies are some of the quietest animals produced to date, very much like their mother, which is extremely placid and easy to handle.

These were to be kept, but now that retirement is looming, they must be sold. They will be sold as a pair only. These may go Calico, and no guarantee can be given, but many of the progeny of this female have turned Calico.

They are being offered at a very realistic price but are pickup only- no airfreight is available now.

SOLD

Photos below of the pair, and other pictures of the adults are available on our blog:

The above photo shows a panorama
of the Melbourne VHS Reptile Expo.
It was a very successful event with
Sonnemanns Snakes having our final
stand at any Expo.
There are a few reluctant hatching pythons
that I'm still working on to get feeding, so if
you are in the market for a Black-
headed, SA woma, Childrens or a Rough
scaled python then get in touch.
They are going out at ridiculous prices
this year.

Well, another successful breeding year over with all
the babies hatched out now. We have some very nice
black headed and woma pythons this year that should
turn into superb adults. Most are not feeding voluntarily
as yet, its just a waiting game to see which ones start next.
For those that have particular lines ordered we should be
able to offer you something soon, just as soon as I'm happy
that they will feed on dead rodents every time offered.

As this is my last season of breeding numbers of pythons
there will be some specials to be had at the Melbourne
VHS Reptile Expo. We will have a table on the day with
our banner "Sonnemanns Snakes" on the wall at the back.
In particular we will have Black headeds, Womas and
Childrens pythons at very reasonable prices and intend
to sell out on the day. Come up and make us an offer on
job lots, no reasonable offer refused.

For those that cannot get to the Expos we can airfreight
to most major and regional airports around the country.
Send us an e-mail stating exactly what you are looking for
in your next pet and we may be able to help you out!.

Hatching time is here again , this
is a nicely contrasting hatchling
that has just sloughed its skin.
Still taking orders for a broad
range of animals, some with
excellent genetics.

The SA woma female has laid
a big clutch of 17 eggs.
Taking orders for babies.

Female SA Woma python basking after her pre-lay
slough. Eggs are expected in about a months time
and hatchlings will be available for sale early in the
new year. They will be affordable so that everyone
who wants a woma can buy one.

The last Axanthic het female
laid a big clutch of 16 eggs today.
This is the last bhp clutch this
year, now the waiting starts until
the eggs hatch in December.

The above female black headed
is the last to lay for this season.
This is a much anticipated clutch
as she carries both the Axanthic
and the Calico gene.

Black headed female 11.3 has laid a perfect clutch of eggs, the attached photos show the process
of removing the eggs carefully from the female after the last egg has been laid so as not to disturb the female. Eggs are aired for about an hour on the bench to harden them up prior
to numbering with a pencil and then going into artificial incubation.
