A mulga x brown snake would be a differant story(if that is at all possible to make). |

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Sep-07 Location: melbourne Age/Gender: 12 | | | | i no mr.bredli, less than 1000 left and turning 1 into a hybrid, the snake itself isnt a shocker but should not be as it is!!!!!!! |
08-Oct-07, 07:39 PM
| | | | It doesnt compare to a pure Stephens or Broady. It's pretty poor actually compared to the real things. |

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Sep-07 Location: melbourne Age/Gender: 12 | | | | i no elapids r venomous, but honestly i have never heard of stephens, also wat the hell would a snake keeper be thinking keeping 2 diff. species elapids and breeding such a rare specimen? |
08-Oct-07, 07:56 PM
| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jun-06 Location: CQ | | | | They are both species of Hoplocephalus.
I hope it doesnt sell for that price and tempt further breedings.
Although I guess this will inspire something................
More collecting of H. bungaroides,
like any further inspiration was needeed.

Bit sus,i know brian lazell has had a few pale headed x stephens for a while and they are written into the NPWS records,this one looks adult and havent heard about it,very ordinary looking.Looks like the same bloke has crossed diamonds and carpets also unless its someone else,a shame in my oppinion,wouldnt pay 2bob for either of them. |

| | | | The pure Broady on RDU has now been sold. I wonder if the mongrel will sell? You'd have to be mad to pay money for that, thats a givaway animal IMO. |
