Some then & now picts of a pair of Pseudechis guttatus (spotted black/blue bellied) I obtained from Baxtor back in April 2012.

My Tassie girl snuggling into her bunny (Dino) rug :lol:

She's been dodging the heat down here and found a nice spot in a tub down the back of the house. But today I thought she should get some sunlight since she's been away from her heated tile.

How old is the Dugite Pseudo? Not to common with the banding I wonder if it will remain as the snake gets older.
Not to common in collections either

Sorry mate, only just saw your question.. I'm not sure on her age but she's around 4ft long. I also have one of her offspring (a male) who was born with no banding but now at 12 months old he is starting to develop the banding just like his mother. This is him..

 
No worries.

Do you know the locales of either parents?

They're nice critters how do you find keeping them as captives?
 
A couple of snaps I took today from a little guy I stumbled across :D

Okay, he wasn't too small, but he wasn't too happy either :lol:

Funny how they almost do a hood thing like a cobra, yet none of the other elapids do.
 
Yeah quite a few do it. Tigers in particular look very cool when they do it.

The top of this page shows a spotted black doing it

Plenty of them flatten out whether it's to gain heat at a faster rate or to look bigger and more threatening ;) None quite to the extent of Cobras but they give it a crack! For Red Belly's, Copperheads, Tigers and Spotted Blacks it definitely isn't uncommon.
 
Ditto that for textys, though it's not as impressive. The bite seems to be, however:)! This guy was having a sniff of my boot.

texty's are pretty impressive with a flattened hood, neck "S" and their mouth open coming at ya, that usually gets the blood pumping

found my first pale headeds recently, lovely little snakes
 
No worries.

No, I don't know the locales of the parents unfortunately.
They are just the same as keeping any other browns, which I've found don't seem to do a great deal in captivity, a lot of time spend curled up doing nothing when they are having their food handed too them. The adult female is pretty calm, but the little fella is psychotic which I guess is normal for most browns as well.
 
I RBB dropped 9 bubs yesterday. All but one were out and about pretty early.
The last one was still chillin'in it's sack today. Gave it a hand making the hole bigger and it came out an hour later.
Here is one of them
