As the reptile hobby evolves in Australia, so does the need to have access to proper information on the husbandry and keeping of these animals in captivity.
As the name of this site suggests, we will be focusing on the proper care and maintenance of carpet pythons in captivity. We are also involved in various projects that involve rarer morphs and locality type animals. Our focus will mainly revolve around the morph and designer snake market, but alot of attention will also be concentrated in the line breeding of locality pure and provenance known animals. We will endeavour to have as much up to date and accurate information available on our site regarding the husbandry and breeding of certain species, not just out of a hobbyist perspective but also from a professional and scientific viewpoint. The site will be evolving as trends in reptile keeping in Australia unfold over the following years. And should set the benchmark in what can be attained with designer animals when bred consistently and for the right traits. We hope to produce only the best of the best and provide constant and reliable service second to none.
We are getting ready for a very succesful year of breeding. Keep your eyes on the site as we should have some good looking pythons available soon!
![]() We do not allow the public to pick up animals from our facility. This is due to the recent theft of a major collection in Queensland!
Facility
![]() ![]() NEW IN AUSTRALIA!!! Now in Stock
We are proud to announce that we are the sole distributor of the S.I.M incubation Coontainer in Australia. The S.I.M. stands for Suspension Incubation Method relating to how the eggs are incubated on a grid off the substrate. This prohibits direct contact with a wet substrate and allows approximately
100% gas exchange between the container environment and the egg membrane. Eggs incubated buried in dampened substrate are subjected to excess water which often results in drowned egg(s). Also in contrast to this, too little water or humidity results in egg dessication.
![]() ![]() Eggs incubated in the S.I.M. are surrounded top, bottom and sides by air. The steady humidity and (possibly) better Oxygen absorption in these containers allows neonates to develop faster resulting in shortened incubation times.
Clutches incubated in this container have all hatched earlier than when buried in Perlite at same temperature. All neonates hatched fully developed without egg yolks.
The triangular bars that you see on top of the grid are the eggs stabilizer bars. The function of these bars is to keep eggs from rolling or being uprooted by clutch mates and they are fully adjustable to fit just about any egg size.
The S.I.M. incubation containers are crystal clear.This is so the eggs can be visually monitored without having to guess. The grid is designed to keep hatchlings from entering the substrate chamber.For keepers who incubate over water, this feature ensures hatchlings are safe.
The lid is soft TPU that fits the container base without being difficult to remove and upset the contents. We suggest venting the lid by adding a few small holes to avoid an air tight situation.
We welcome S.I.M. Container customers to post their egg pictures and give feedback to other users in the forums. We will continue to update the site with hatch data for new users to refer to.
These units cost $35.00 each excluding postage and delivery. Please E-mail us through our website to organise payment and delivery.
Each container is 20.32cm L x 17.14cm W x 11.00cm H. We fit 9 carpet python eggs per container with ample air circulation.
A larger size is currently being developed.The larger size will have the following dimensions 30.48cm L x 20.32cm W x 15.24cm H.
Thanks for visiting! Nicole and Chris
