Well the ball pythons are off to a slow start but my Womas have been going strong. Even though my female blew up during her recent shed cycle I am still pairing them up incase that was just building and not ovulation. This is from this past weekend.

I believe the Childrens are done and that this girl should be giving me some eggs. She has that gravid look!

Kat, if you get them when they are young Moluccans are more like carpets temperment wise. They are fiesty or defensive as juveniles but like many carpets they mellow out as they mature. I had an adult breeding group of 2.2 Coastal carpets several years ago and they were all tame but a little flighty. My male adult Moluccan is much more like those Coastals than a pair of Bar-neck Scrubs I had back then. Those two were pure EVIL, but I kinda liked that about them.:devil:
As long as you start with juviniles and stay away from adult imports I think anyone comfortable with keeping large carpets would able to handle Moluccans. I think they are fun to work with and I also make sure to never let my guard down when handling them. Moluccans will probably never be a mainstream species, but I like it that way because I feel like myself and other scrub keepers have a "hidden treasure" in our collections.:rockon:
