I bought the colony including the eggs at the time so I now have a hard act to follow.My conony seem to perform better than any of the others out there. I dont know if its the snakes or the Keeper but I am following a lot of Robs principles. Gone are the thermostats and they are in two joined 4 foot cages to achieve a REAL temperature gradient.

Congrats wokka,they are one animal i'd love but just a bit large for me to handle alone!!

I recently sold a hatchling to a complete novice and he told me about the set up a pet shop informed him his snake would absolutely need to survive. Needless to say it included expensive UV lighting.
At the pet shop I work, I tell all the people that get snakes off us or are setting up enclosures that it is a wast of money. And to put the $130 towards a bigger enclosure, Better thermostat, ect. So not all pet shops sell unneeded things for reptiles.
Very nice olives

However (directed at Kirby) having yellow markings still qualifies as albino - yellow is not melanin. |

rob- is the transformation from yellowishy to white an age thing or more of a size or maturity thing? would be interesting if it is hormonally related to maturity and therefor breeding age.... |

Hes a year younger than the female. |
