some elapid picts

[moosenoose]

Not an overly exciting photo. But it was nice to find something like this over the weekend. Especially considering how much it rained on Saturday. A little burst of sunlight....and out came those little hidden treasures :lol: I was finding Blue Tongues with the kids, but then spotted this little tiger.

Loving the other photos in this thread!

coastal growth

I am amazed at the growth rate of this female coastal. She is not yet two years old and although she has a very good appetite she has never been power fed.
Please excuse the phone pics.

G'day Baxtor,

They have phenomenal growth rates - we have pumped them up to 2.1 metres in 12 months before.

Are you aware of any downside to growing that fast jonno?

Couple of new Northerns.

the amount of fæces?

 

[Jonno from ERD]

None - the animals we did that to are now approaching 8 years old and going strong. If they weren't biologically geared towards those sort of growth rates, they would be unachievable.

[baxtor]

My blue belly gave up her eggs today. 12 good eggs so far.
Just getting started in the pic.
Finished with 15 eggs, all good

My pair of Dajarra's taken a few years back. Bred them two years running, 18 and 26 young, no slugs all fed readily by teasing them with pinkies. Probably the easiest animals to keep ever - provided you don't get you hands anywhere close!

She was a very big girl who could take sizeable rats. He's not a bad size either - just dwarfed by her!

...and the result!

By the way...I'd love to hear from anyone who has a female Stephens Banded Snake excess to their needs....

Nice adders there Hoplophile

I'm pretty sure Roy Pails from Pails for Scales has a Stephen's on his website for sale.

 

[Hoplophile]

Only males I'm afraid....thanks anyway.

 

[Jonno from ERD]

I remember those photo's, Hoplophile. I sold my pair, along with about 50 other Adders about two years ago...now I wish I didn't.

 

[Hoplophile]

Yeah they were great snakes Jonno. At the time my wife and I had a baby and I decided to get rid of highly venomous species. He's four and a half now and never goes into my (locked) reptile room so I am just getting back into elapids. Latest acquisition is a pair of South Australian (Smoky Bay) A.antarcticus. Last time I had them was 1975! Great snakes...not flashy like Dajarras...subtle greys and browns. Hope to breed these down the track. On the lookout for a female Stephens and a pair of Central Australian form A.pyrrhus - captive bred preferably.
