Childrens pythons are the second smallest python in the world, but they are all python.  They are underrated in herpetoculture and are easy to keep and breed.  Babies are born with contrasting spots that fade with age.  Our stock are from VPI and have a reddish pattern as adults.  Our childrens pythons are gentle as hatchlings and adults, as opposed to reports I have heard from other breeders of this species.  These pythons are great for begginers and advanced keepers alike.  Here is a caresheet we threw together to help improve others success with this python-Childrens Python Care.

The hatchlings of our Childrens pythons are extremely variable in pattern and color.  Some hatch out red, others yellow, but all are very nice.  Here are some examples of hatchling Childrens pythons that have hatched at Australian Addiction Reptiles.
