Welcome Rus,
If you are going to have only one snake then what a great choice you've made. Love scrubs, how big is he/she? My only scrub is just a little tacker

my scrub is about 21kg's... i found him as alittle tacker about 1 metre and he has never bitten me. furthest iv got is a hiss. has never shown signs of aggression towards me at all. slender for his length but then again nearly all scrubs iv found are. how do you post photo's.... sorry im new.

Welcome aboard Rus You'll like it here I hope, you certainly are in a great part of the world for herps. I for one would love to hear some of your free ranging herp stories, coming from up there you must have a few to share

Welcome Russ,

I'm glad you found this site, Looking fwd to your pics, love scrubby's but not the size of them, with the size of the snake you keep I'm not really surprised that you only keep one snake

Happy herping!
