New Shed Pics

Sloops had his first slough for me the other day and I wasn't aware of how beautiful a snake he really is. The yellow is quite stunning.


Measured the skin and he's a few cm's over 3m's. Came off in one piece and fed the next day so all is good. J

Is that a Murray Darling? He looks absolutely stunning. And a healthy looking beast too I can't wait to get one

Looks like a coastal carpet to me. The skin will stretch while coming off, so he's probably not 3m long. Still a big boy though!

Yep he's a costal, I just didn't realise that they had as much yellow in them. I reckoned he's about 2.5m but it's hard to tell when you see him stretched out he looks big.

You can see how he looks dull before before a shed. He must weigh a good 5-7Kg.

Oh wow! What a gorgeous snake!
I'm so jealous right now... I have to wait till I have my own permanent place till I get any really big animals, and that could take years!
He's just... magnificent. and huge.
Give him a hug for me!
