Yours and mine look like twins Kenshin 
As soon as I see the word Darwin on here my bias just takes over. I think these are beautiful snakes. I have no idea why they are so cheaply priced when compared to things like coastals and the like, but I think at times these are as stunning as some of the Jungles (even though I have a passion to get one of those in the not too distant future )
Anyway, handling is the key I believe. Mine is as placid as :wink:

Same here moose I love them they are awesome ! Keep posting pics I love your darwins colouring
Where did you get him from ?
Tourett this is the only enclosure i have it in atm it dosent give the same intense spot of heat as a globe or a ceramic but keeps the heat about 300mm below it at 32-34 they seem happy though
Also i got the 50 watt one which is reccomended for 1m2 heating I got mine from animalattraction I highly reccomend him .

I bought mine from a breeder who convieniently lives within walking distance from my place Mick - she also breeds rats & rabbits etc so food supply is always fresh, handy & cheap
Here's a pic of the Dad - he's an absolute beaut! His name is 'Smokey' and he's a big boy! |

I've been going over and handling it on weekends because I'm a sucker for getting bitten by things As you'd know it's a bit of hit & miss with hatchlings at times - certainly Darwins are rather dull looking when they are young. This photo is one from the most recent clutch - I'm thinking that this might actually be the one she has left :roll: I haven't had the tape measure over Smokey but he is really big for a Darwin. I know I've been through this before, I think I had quoted saying he was over 9ft, but in reality, he'd be closer to 8ft (I've got to get a tape over this guy sooner or later :wink  |

I have only handled 1 darwin and she was the crankiest ***** I have ever handled. Didn't bite, just head butts over and over again hissing the whole time.

moosenoose, what size unit is that one and are all the units the same size you have for your darwins?
What size/sizes do you recomend? :roll:
Heating/lighting setup suggestions would be great aswell.
