On Friday I added another 4 snakes to my collection.
Two male coastals and two Darwins (sex unknown).
One of the coastals is a Brisbane male and a nice match for the female I bought off Mel.The other is black with brown markings and also quite nice.
The Darwins are apparently from Snakes NT. They are about 140cm long and very fiery.As soon as I opened one of the bags the Darwin launched itself at my face and then continued trying to bite me. I have put them in a dark room and will give them a few days to settle in and then try to handle them.

| | | | COngrats Greebo,
Hope you enjoy em. Darwins are a bit like that sometimes, especially bloody wild ones, most of them are absolutely crazy! |

| | | | Could be WC Greebo. I highly recommend snakesNT but the fact is they do sell WC snakes more often then not, usually in good condition though.

I have a large shed that is now converted with plenty of room for more snakes.It took me a while to set the shed up, as security was a major issue.
I also started building an outdoor pit for my blue tongues on Easter weekend. I just have to put some netting over the top and it will be finished. I am rather happy with the design, it is 3m x 3m and designed so I can build another 3-4 pits running down the fence line.

| | | | HI Greebo,
If you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost to convert the shed? (ballaprk will do) as I am running out of room fast and am thinking of getting a large shed built once I leave school which will be this yr!!

| | primitively archaic Moderator | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 Gender: | | | | I already had the shed. I just had to insulate it and put in interior walls, ventilation and an alarm system. The shed itself is 10mx4m and I did it over a period of time so I am not sure how much I spent.
Sorry, I know this does not really help you.
