| | Mummy snake Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-06 Location: Here Gender: | | | They can get quite big and do grow relatively fast. I have one quiet one and one fiesty one  , but he hasn't bitten yet, just bobs his head, hisses at me and lunges out every now and then, but that doesn't stop me giving him a cuddle, he's fine once you pick him up. They have smaller clutch sizes than say a carpet and I have heard hatchies can be difficult to feed. In the wild their main diet is reptiles including vens  ! And you shouldn't house them together cause they could eat each other, did I mention how damn cute the are!!

I ahve a couple that are only 5-6 feet long but maybe thaey are smaller because they are wild caught or something like that. But they are nowhere near as big as the Qld ones I have seen. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Oct-06 Location: Sydney | | | | They dont differentiate. So yes, you could have WA's. But I would very much doubt that they would be in pet shops. You may need to PM TrueBlue of you want WA's without a $200 export fee. plus they are black & white as opposed to orange and white |

The normally large snakes in eastern states generally do not grow as big in the Pilbara IMHO. Have a look at True Blue's Boodarie Woma's, they only grow to about 5 feet. |

| | | | Could BHP's be considered a good beginners snake??? regardless of their cost..
They seem rather placid/docile, although I suppose there are always exceptions!!
