This is my scrubby, the picture is a bit old but a good one. He's about 10 foot now.

i got him in a 3m aviary, plenty of room. cost about $15 a fortnight to feed him, not expensive at all. he is a very evil snake, thats why his name is slayer. we have a love/hate relationship, he will go anything that walks into his aviary! cant handler at all, need a least 2 people to wrangle him. to strong for by myself!

all the ones i know of are aggressive, but you can get a quiet one every now and then. i got mine a couple years old, so it was'nt handled much when it was small. i think they are very unpredictive. they might look calm, but when you turn around they will whack ya. he coiled my arm one time that it went blue.
