Snap would like to introduce her new neighbours. Roy and Pris have moved in to the cookie black house next door. If you'd like to see them they are at: http://www.aussiepythons.com/albums/album30/Pris1.jpg http://www.aussiepythons.com/albums/...y2_2.sized.jpg
Thanks to Paul and Melissa for the supply of two very cute, very active and absolutely beautifull baby olives. I picked them up from the airport this afternoon. They were stacked with 67 Mud crabs and were a bit too cool. They spent the next hour inside my shirt (in their bag) to warm them up a bit.
Paul and Melissa thanks again. |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Detroit, MI USA | | | | Awesome G-man. Congrats on two very good looking snakes. Another one joins the olive family, eh? Yeah, my kids like to move too. Very active, which is one of the things I like about them. I keep both mine in the same cage, and I can't get one out without the other one making a break for it. Can be quite a challenge trying to handle both at once. So how are their temperaments so far? How old are they? Are these siblings of Nicole and Lutzd's olives? |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Hunter Valley | | | They are about six or seven weeks I think. Paul said they are from unrelated parents. Their temperaments I'm not sure. No attempt to take my arm off at the shoulder so far. More interested in just keeping on moving which makes them a bit hard to hold. They share the same enclosure and so far haven't used a hide although Pris has investigated one. They seem more interested in keeping to the highest point on the branches. I'll probably take the temps up a couple of degrees. Last night I let the temperature drop but only to around 27degC. I plan on a daytime temp gradient from 26 to 33 with a nightime gradient of ambient to 24 and would be interested in any feedback on this.
My biggest problem is telling them apart. Roy is a bit bigger but that's not too obvious when they're flying about in there. I haven't noticed much difference in them so far and I plan on leaving them to settle in for a while before I handle them too much. |

As far as telling them apart the female will be the one having the "bad hair day" every other day  |

Bren, these guys a just babies and have been eating hopper mice. I managed to weigh the female (she was in the bag marked F) and her weight was 73grams, she' at least 60cm but that's all I can tell so far. |

| | | | BIG babys. When i bought my coastal it was supposed t be a yearling it was only 60 cm long.My childreni is only like 30-35cm. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Sydney | | | | Yeah, they are big babies Brendan, my olive (sibling to Graham's) is 65ishcm and just longer than my coastal and diamond which are both yearlings now.

Yeah - that's my theory too - the law of averages indicates that you gotta get SOME good shots out of that many!
