Couple of Olive pics

[Snakewoman]

This is a two year old Olive my Mum and I were holding this morning. She's a very beautiful and placid snake. I hope to own one one day, but maybe not for a few years. I need more experience with bigger snakes. (And time to save up for them)

"My 1st Olive" LOL

This was the first Olive I ever saw or held, and have wanted one ever since! This was at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre back in 2005 (I think). I doubt she is still there since that little ***** broke in and killed all the animals in 2008.....

i have always loved the look of olives and want one so badly, but not for a few years, i have already bought a lot in a small period of time, i should slow down a bit haha

My girl, 5 months old and feeds like a champ !

beautiful olive jakee. i was doin my research and im thinking that if i were to get one i would get at least a yearling or even a sub-adult, just so they have that extra bit of size and can go straight into an adult enclosure, just with lots of hides

 

[Jakee]

Thanks Scotty, My girl loves to explore her enclosure and I rarely see her in the hide I have provided. Mine has grown extremely quick and has quite an appetite !

Wow, that snake is huge and gorgeous. I hope the person that killed those animals is in gaol now

 

[scottyo998]

yeah they do grow ridiculously fast, and because of this i dont want to have to fork out for another tank every few months when they grow out of em. I would rather put them straight into a big tank or put into the rack we are about to build with boxes that are 100cm x 60cm x 20cm. Just as a query, how big is your olive at 5 months?

 

[Jakee]

roughly 3ft

 

[scottyo998]

alright then that would be fine to put straight into the rack and then when it gets to about 5ft (6ft tops) i could move it into a full size enclosure around 6ft x 2ft x 2ft or something like that, cheers

Yes Tahlia. It was so sad. I was there at the time for a friends wedding. It was actually a 12 year old kid who just jumped the back fence. he clubbed most of the lizards and monitors and fed them to the crocodile. Not too sure what they do to a 12 year old for that. Hopefully his parents got a swift kick up the ...

It's really sad when a 12 year old does things like that. I hope he doesn't have any pets of his own, they won't last long. I love all these pics too, very nice snakes
