hi all.

just thought i would put up some pics of my big olives both were bought from urs about the size they are now. the girl is around 3.6metres and the male is 3.98metres measured thisafternoon, they are by far my favourite snakes and im hoping they will breed for me this year. i have also put up some pics of my other snakes and lizards.

there in 2 metre by 1 metre cages at the moment but where just putting te finishing touches on there outside cages and when this weather gets abit better they will be going out side.

they eat anything you put in front of them however the big male loves his chickens.
 
nice olives....i got my female olive from URS...she is a tad under 10 foot.....awesome species of snake...
 
does any one else have any other big olives and what is the heaviest they should be because the male is about 22kg but he is not fat hes actually pretty lean , the female is about 10kg and do i need to put more weight on her or is she right.

Thanks for the info
Can you post some pictures of the outside enclosures when they are finished? you would have to consider how to keep them from getting out more than smaller snakes.
I kept diamonds in an outside enclosure. Even with these it took me a while to secure them. Fortunately for me the locals returned the escapee.
