Childrens Pythons
Childrens Pythons for sale Melbourne Victoria
Children’s Pythons (Antaresia childreni) are among the smallest python species and a favorite for beginner and veteran reptile keepers alike. Typically reaching 3–4 feet (90–120 cm) in length—most adults stay under 1 m—they offer an ideal balance of size, temperament, and ease of care
All our Children’s Pythons are Australian captive bred, well-handled, and established on eating rodents confidently. These snakes are calm, non-venomous, and adapt well to husbandry, making them a great choice for entry-level keepers or those upgrading to a long-term, manageable species.
Preferred habitat setup involves a secure enclosure with good ventilation, secure locking, and enough space for climbing and hiding. Adult specimens often thrive in tanks starting around 40 gallons, with temperature gradients between 25–32 °C (78–90 °F) and humidity levels around 50–60%
Regular feedings support long-term health: juveniles eat weekly while adults typically feed every 10–14 days. Their calm nature and moderate size help reduce stress during handling and maintenance.
