I've attached a couple of pics of the same animal showing threat and non-threat attitude. Not as spectacular as the OPs photo

Do many people keep these? From my understanding they have a mainly fish eating diet and can smell pretty nasty, but gosh I'd be keen to keep something that beautiful.

A few people keep them, but they are more work than a python so you need to be dedicated.

If Im ever allowed another snake Im going with a colubrid, without a doubt. Probably a GTS.
