I actually picked it up from the auctions.It was a house system but I only used 2 of the motion sensors and a sensor on the door. It helps to know an electrician too.

The big boy is Territorial, but once hooked out of his enclosure is fine.
Hatchling Water pythons on the other hand have serious attitude. I have had quite a few of them throwing their entire bodies off the ground trying to get me. Also have had them come straight out of the tub and at the face in mid air. A few good feeds though and they settle right down. IMO it's a factor of where they naturally occur, life can be pretty harsh up there for a feed sized python.

| Depends on your set up.whether you just have enclosures on the walls or if you have banks of enclossure down the middle as well.
But if your shed is 10X8...well you could house heaps of snakes in there before you run out of room. | sorry Greeboit 8mx20m

I have two pair of adult Darwins from separate sources, and all are puppy dog tame, never had a problem with them.
Sometimes first impressions of a species stay with us for a long time, I remember having those thought's about a Bar necked scrub I used to hae in the UK, boy, they have got a reach on them!
Hope you enjoy the Darwins, they are great snakes.

| | primitively archaic Moderator | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 Gender: | | | | I love Darwins, I already have a pair. I got these ones cheap and hopefully one of them will be female.If not, well I guess I'll just have to get some more.
My big male is a striking orange colour and I am hoping to get some more nice ones from him.

The Darwins only bit me about 10 times. Fortunately I was prepared for this and had gloves on.They each bit me about 5 times before giving up. I will continue doing this and hopefully tame them down a bit.Although I realise some snakes will always be cranky buggers no matter what you do.

Peter | I know that Peter's saying! How much food $$$ do you cough up each month? Do you breed your own Greebs? Congrates just the same on the 4, I'm envious & agree with Nicole. I'll also have to live my dreams of a multi-snake carer through you, hope you don't mind me jumping on for the virtual ride. boo hoo, I'm so sad!  |

Did you get taught the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique when you visited Pai Lei.  You may need it with those Darwins | | |
