Little African Rock Python

By
Published:

Description

One of a pair of my baby African Rock Pythons(Python sebae), the female, I think. This species has a much-undeserved reputation for a nasty temper, just like the Water Snakes. I have yet to see a nasty one. My two babies are extremely sweet little snakes, and my previous AfRock, an adult male that I lost to a respiratory infection years ago, was as nice and calm as they come. These snakes don't come in the wide array of genetic "morphs" that the other two giant pythons-Burmese and Reticulateds-do, unfortunately, though I still like their normal coloration. This is the third largest Python species in the world, although females get much larger than males, as with all Pythons.

Beautiful little Afrock. I have a 2 year old male, myself.
If you want to see some fantastic looking Afrock morphs, go to highendherps.com. They have some insane looking morphs, of course they've had to hybrid them with Burmese to get the morphs in them.
