Im from SA so i can only speak of what i know but here if you are over 18 you are alowed one. well its one per 18year old in the house. but i would always advise on getting a basic keep and sell licence that in SA is just over $50 for a year and you can have any kind of protected reptile and things like emu's, kangaroos ect, and even some plants...but plants arnt cool. Prices vary between $250ish to $1000 for the black and gold's (the bright yellow and black ones in the middle) and then about $500 for a tank heat lamp and stuff like that, feeding is really cheap most pet stores sell frozen mice and a full grown mouse is a couple of bucks and you would only need to feed once a fourtnight at most. i can get snakes that grow to one meter to 8 foot and some even bigger. They are great pets and can live a good 40+years. feel free to PM me any questions at all. Thanks Lex

Yes i can get diamond pythons, Do you have a licence? sending to other states does require a licence. i think freight is about $80 but if you are serious i can check. I can get you an exact price from a friend but i think they are in the $500 mark. Thanks alot Lex

some can be little pricks but most are ok, some snakes are known to be evil breeds and some are known to be plasid, i have also found that if u breed a calm pair u usually get calm babies, but most of the time they are pretty scared of you

I mean I'd love one as well, as long as it's assured that they wont bite. But they're snakes. Snakes are known to be Evil! I wouldnt buy this and just let it stay on it's cage and just look at it. I wnna be able to touch it, like my scorpions! So as SKYLVIA said, any assurances that this wont bite??

Thats just like saying any insurance that your dog wont bite you? It all depends on how you handle it if its going to bite you, plus usually raised in captivity usually most time 9/10 the wont bite, and if they do maybe only at feeding time.

I guess as long as theyre not venomous, it should be ok getting bitten by them. Not unless they eat your whole arm or so. But again, tough pets. Looks sick and bump bump bump.

ok in reply to all the comments about biting. as you would guess i have been bitten many times. some worse then others. i know the whole swallowing an arm thing is a joke but if your are so slow that you let it get up past your knuckle you should be eaten. It takes most snakes a good 30mins + to eat a little mouse so your arm would take a good hour. snakes also are rather smart and they know they they wont be able to eat you or digest you so dont bite (appart from scrub pythons because those get reallllly big and have eaten people) Usually the better looking and brighter the snake the more violent it is. the black and gold (middle snake in the photo) is a very aggressive snake when young but with handeling (i use a welders glove to handel bitey snakes) they will eventually calm down. My mum is a primary school teacher and we take out alot of out snakes for the kids to see and touch and we have never ever had one bite. on the other hand my mum owns a poodle, he is cute and tiny but if you get between him and food he will bite you, snakes can be the same. you piss it off and it will bite you, you piss of a bogan and he will hit you. there is never a promiss that they wont bite. when they are young it really doesnt hurt, its like getting nibbeled on by a cat if any one knows what im talking about or a thorn from a rose. it doesnt hurt. any one who buys my snakes i teach how 2 feed and alot of other info. if any one is intereded do call me on 0403300968. thanks

An anaconda would be cool but they dont live in australia so the only way i could get one would be becoming a vet and then specalising in reptiles and then work for a zoo and import one in. Australia has very strict rules on importing animals. as is...you cant at all.

Well if any one wants one message me

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
