Show us your RSPs

Wow, that's a fairly big difference, thanks Yommy.

The missus said last night that she'd like to get another snake, so now it's just a matter of convincing her that a roughie is the way to go and I'll be set!

 

[yommy]

honesty i am a massive woma fan but you can't go wrong with a RSP for sure.

If she won't get a roughie defineatly get a woma

Yeah she wasn't keen on the idea of getting a snake at all when I first brought it up, as she had (possibly still has) a bit of a fear of snakes. But with persistance she eventually gave it the green light and we got a Tanami Woma back at the start of February. He's been fantastic and now the missus has no trouble with him at all, she confident and calm with him, so it's helped with her fear too. I was gonna get a bredli but did my research and once I read up about womas there was no other option for me.
I reckon the same thing has happened with roughies, I initially wanted a jungle for our second snake but having read up about these guys I reckon I want a rough scaled as much as I wanted a woma!
Won't happen for a while, as we want to make sure we are capable of looking after one, let alone two snakes but once we are then I'll be on roughie lookout for sure!

Good stuff womas and RSP are my favourite, you think womas are relaxed my RSP is the most placid snake i've ever owned in over 20 years of keeping, they make a great new addition to any collection.
As for adding to your collection i've always ask for forgiveness then permission for my purchases and i've put together a nice collection over the years i'm always in it the depth just varies but i must say, i do have an understanding wife, most times.........................

I'll second that yommy - go the womas and RSP My little RSP is really placid as well. I'll get some pics on the weekend to put up.

 

[yommy]

sounds good lozza. Wouldlove to see em

 

[Snakewoman]

Loving these pics, nice animals. What are they like to keep?

 

[yommy]

as easy as any other python, probably easier But being a climber and percher supply branches etc. i have a vertical heat gradient rather then a horizontal as the cage is tall.
mine spends 1/2 the time perching and climbing and the other 1/2 of time on cage floor.
i hear they can be fussy eaters but all my friends that have them, and myself included have RSP that are pigs when it comes to feeding.

 

[Snakewoman]

Thanks for that yommy I like their eyes, very pretty... I like their teeth too, as long as they keep them in their mouth

 

[yommy]

lol i haven't even seen the famous threat display as mine are so content.
One thing that will suprise you is there strike range the 1st time you feed them. Tongs are a must
and the ability they have to strike with their mouth almost 180' wide. Almost a flip flop head like that tooth paste ad on tv

Lol, I have some tongs, but I'll be getting longer ones for my olive when he gets bigger, he's very enthusiastic about his food but he isn't very accurate when he strikes. Certainly don't want to cop those teeth when he's an adult. They definitely look like the people on the reach toothpaste add haha
