|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Oct-06 Location: Melbourne, VIC | | | I have an MD and Bredli, both (granted different personality traits in the same sub species) are fairly typical for their kind. Bob the MD handles very well once a week and eats like a pig, he is presently 1.4m at the age of around 16 months. Laura is approx 60cm and she is now handling very well (snappy early.. but we're so huge so to be expected!) and eats like a pig.
If you have $$ a BHP is easily as hearty and forgiving (generally if you can deal with the odd bluff) but do you have the ize for these snakes!
Im glad MD was my first choice, but most people love their snakes and recommend the first one they got.
Im done generalising tonight  have a good one

| | | go a Murray Darling , I have all three and the Murray Darling has been the nicest off all , jungles are great but can be a bit snappy , coastals erm look like coastals  but Murray Darlings are just cute and grey!!!
so start with a Murray Darling , then get a jungle then the coastal , then pair them up

Having said that pick the one you like and maybe buy in person so you can see and have a feel of the snake first and meet the breeder so if you have any troubles you can get them to help. |

Murry Darlings got to about 2.4 metres but tend to keep there plessant behavour. go for something you like the look of and is nice to handle and a good eater. |

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jul-07 Location: Sydney Age/Gender: 21 | | | I got my first snake last night, an 8 month old maccie and she is the most beautiful thing i ever laid eyes on. But i agree with the others and go to a pet shop where you can see the snakes first hand, you might like the look of one more than the other. But if i was being biased i would say a maccie | | |
