Hi
I was just wondering how popular these snakes are.
Are they common in captivity?
Cheers

| | | | No I know about 10 ppl with them, venom supplies has a pair. They are one of the rarer snakes in captivity, the whole genus is. |

Are they very blue?
I have a pic of one that is very drab, but the people near these ones say they are quite blue. |

| | | | I have seen the very drab, fairly boring looking ones, i have seen very green looking ones as well. Never blue. My favourite are the ones with no bands they look awesome!!!!!!!!! |

That musta been the night tigers, the stephens musta been the ones that just didn't take.

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Apr-03 Location: Brisbane | | | | Ive been presented with an opportunity to collect some. I don't want to keep venomous snakes though. I thought I would check a bit about them, I will probably go on the trip still.
Isolated locality and they have blue bands according to the locals. |
