Col vid Jeremy. How long did it take to get him/her eating from tongs?

He's only had it a few weeks, it is making great progress.

Wow that's even more impressive

 

[blakehose]

That's a great little Spencers mate, good to see that it's adjusting well.
I want one of them soooo badly!

Neat shot, Richard! Was she sleeping under something that then got lifted, or was she out in the open curled up like that?

 

[imported_Varanus]

Thanks David! Under an old filing cabinet; it's her favourite "time out" spot when out of her enclosure.

[saximus]

Dude, that's just unfair.

I agree. You're not allowed to do that to us Longqi

I hate you...

I wonder if we will ever be allowed to keep Prasinus in Australia... or more to the point if they will ever be available the general herpers? In theory we should be able to get them... 10 years ago rough scaled pythons were unobtainium and now they are widely available and reasonably priced.

I think you will find it is a protected species in Indonesia. Captive bred specimens are allowed and can be exported but it is clear this is often a cover for the illegal trade from the wild:

I was offered these in the Denpassar bird market a few years back.
