They have modified teeth for slashing at reptile eggs of herpers fingers, they eat pretty much anything though, from reptile eggs, insects, frogs, anything else that moves. They took some playing with to turn agro, and when they did they were pretty slow strikers.

Did you see the "Snake Farm"? I found that experience so traumatic I couldn't post the photos here.

| | Jellybean Club Subscriber | Join Date: Feb-06 Location: Hobbiton, Middle Earth. Gender: | | | Yes we caught a tokay, the tiger is at the temple, I have ID's on 80% of the frogs, I'm still going through the 1000 pics I took, will get some more up soon, I have pics of the snake farm in Bankok as well as the cobra show in Phuket and more from Phuket zoo, some good some bad. Also have heaps of gecko pics to post and some habitat ones. Last Wednesday I was stuck on an elephant in an electrical storm in one of the worlds oldest rainforests, followed by a 200km aircon coach ride back, we are all pretty sick now and i'm battling to even look at the pics....

Gender: | | | | The snake farm in Bankok was pretty good, and will be better when they finish the rebuild, the only bad point was their outdoor enclosures, esp the King Cobra enclosure, that had starving rat snakes of various types awaiting their turn as food, inside on the other hand was better than anything we have in this country, and 99% of the snakes and their enclosures were A1, and the live show was better than the cobra show in Phuket, the cobras were much "fresher".
