[brown.snake]

i wish i had one stupid r1 licence my first ever snake was a rbb

[Wrightpython]

I'd trust a Rbb not to bite more than I'd trust most pythons. keep handling it and when it's six foot it will be calm and relaxed.

Looks heaps good mate
How'd u go at feeding it ?

Thanks all. At the moment he's a fish addict. Feeding pinkies he's temperemental. Eats every 3rd day. 3-4 platty's. Feeding off long tweezers or a drop in. Turns his nose up at danio's though! Bit fussy/sookie

update pics ?

He hasn't changed much, but when I get a chance, I'll put some up.

My boy must be a tad over 4ft, somewhere around there, maybe bigger (I can't be bothered measuring him). He's always been flighty, but never bitey (if that makes sense) He's also one snake that I have that seems to have plenty of spirit. There's a mutual respect between him and myself, and I sort of can't be bothered trying to take that spirit out of him

[scorps]

Mine is exactly the same as yours moose,

Never strikes but is always flying around, he makes any python look like a stick at the speed he goes lol.

Deffiantly my fav species to keep

[whyme]

Moose, my big girl is very flighty, but not bitey, around the 4ft mark too. Same size male is pretty cruzy though. Hatchies I find to always be skittish but not aggressive. Like you said Scorps, def. my fav species to keep HAVING SAID THIS, ALL VENEMOUS SNAKES REACT DIFFERENTLY UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND SHOULD ONLY BE HANDLED BY A COMPETENT HANDLER. P.S, Moose, don't ever take the spirit out of him, there more enjoyable that way;D

hehehe when I put him in a plastic tub when I'm cleaning out his enclosure, amidst all the huffing and puffing, it looks like I'm trying to contain a black, scaled form of lightning. He's going for it I got wise in the end and placed a nice large towel over the top so I didn't have him stressing out too much by seeing my movements whilst walking back and forth to his enclosure. For anyone else in there watching me, he can appear quite intimidating. Drop him out in the backyard and you'd think you were a sitting duck....yet again, there he is again, the "master of bluff"

[scorps]

Yeah mine is all bluff lol

[shaye]

I grab my little one out pretty much everyday
And he just wants to go off for a few minutes thenis happy to just sit in my hands for a while
Such a good snake species

[JoshuaAtherton]

They can tame down better than a python. I love them.

Yeah, cause they know who the real boss is, and who is really in control.

Yeah mine is all bluff lol

Yep... untill one day.

[fantapants]

I've had slateys that were skunks, but not rbb's yet. Do they spray???

Yeah, cause they know who the real boss is, and who is really in control.




Yep... untill one day.

A ven. snake is something to be respected, not feared. If you can show it the respect that it should deserve, in the wild, or captive, there should be no need to worry. "Yep...untill one day." should never happen. Being complaicent, under the influence of whatever, or showing off, is what usually leads to a bite. (I've been there with a juvie lacie, dialled and showing off). Elapids are fantastic to keep if done right and respected. Very, very interesting, and smart. Not saying go out and get one, but have an open mind. They're not as feral as what most people make out, especially rbb's.
