[Elapidae1]

Quick bit of research suggests they can occasionally get to nearly 75cm and feed on small mammals, amphibians, lizards and snakes

 

[Stefan]

Yep! You are right Steve

 

[Sdaji]

Wow, that's awesome! Brilliant snake! I'm a big fan of elapid morphs! :lol:

Why do you call it anerythristic rather than axanthic? Just wondering

 

[Flaviruthless]

That's awesome - a real-life pokemon! It's so cute...

 

[Stefan]

Thanks!

@ Sdaji: Hi there! How are you and your little babies doing? Thanks! Great that you like them. I bought them as anery, so I call them anery, haha. I am not an expert on morphs so I didn't even knew axantbic was the same

Great snake stefan, im very jealous

 

[Jay84]

Cute little things! They look so short and chubby lol.

From memory whilst living in the UK it was anerythristic, never once did I see any animals referred to as axanthic.

The term anerythristic is the lack of red pigment and axanthic is the lack of yellow pigment.
Love the photos very nice
