Yay, Finally i got to hold my new babies without flinching continuously, over the last month hubby's been handling the bites while I watch hehe and jump for him.. Well after upping there feed and them settling in, I finally get to hold them, the lil boy is just happy curled up n not move and lil girl does not stop moving. Before they'd strike at everything even when the tv charges shows and randomly bite, without even being startled.. but soo happy.

Whats the age gap between the snakes? Where did you get your from. My Albinos have never looked like biting.

**LadyDiamond** · 17-May-12, 07:44 AM

They are 4&5 mths old so only a couple wks apart, they were shipped interstate, so I just think they weren't use to being handled and has taken a bit to settle in and were just hungry too .. But the ppl I got them from I would high recommend, but I don't want this to make ppl think otherwise so we'll leave the naming.

also our confidence with handle snakes may have been a prob to
But yeah. All good now..

I wouldnt worry too much, just because some snakes of a breed dont bite doesnt mean they all wont

the are a lot of factors to consider, husbandry, temps, feeding, handling gosh sometimes everything can be perfect but you still get bitten

snakes bite lol I think you've done really well and your hatchies are normal for not being handled a great deal

quick question...whats the average price for an albino darwin hatchie? or what should you expect to pay?

**LadyDiamond** · 17-May-12, 04:06 PM

It's along way from you but Reptile Territory in Darwin has em for around $680 and Jeremy is more than happy to airfreight ($88 for up to a kilo).

I know I love my hatchie I got from him.
