Do people keep such nice brownsnakes? Better yet, where'd those eggs end up Please feel free to add pics or similar looking brownsnakes. :lol::lol:

i looked on that link and it said Pseudonaja wat does it mean

 

[m.punja]

pseudonaja is the common scientific name for browns, pseudonaja textilis = eastern brown

 

[tommygun295]

Yeah but pseu on the front of a word means pretend

 

[m.punja]

in what language?

G'day mate,

Unfortunately Peninsula Browns are very poorly represented in captivity. I am unsure if anyone is keeping them apart from Venom Supplies, who collected them on permit.

They are really cool snakes, and I miss working with them so much. In the future I hope to obtain a collection permit for them, but it is going to be a long hard road before I get there.

I keep two dark Eastern Browns. One of them is almost black, and is incredibly firey. He's not for sale though

 

[Jonno from ERD]

Tommy, you are correct. "Pseudonaja" translates to "False Cobra" as Naja is the generic name for Cobra's, which are elapids just like Australias venomous snakes.

I've seen a few like that at a friends house. One was a western and one was an eastern. I'm not sure if he still has them. They look even better in the flesh.

Punj - Not as solid black as that, but I recently saw an elapid show by John Cann where he brought along a VERY black Eastern Brown with bright yellow ventral scales...psychotic too

 

[Jonno from ERD]

I've got heaps, including a beautiful animal that was caught near Elliston that was covered in blotches and had vibrant orange between each scale. Unfortunately they are on another computer which I can't get access to at the moment.

Yeah, JCs black brown is a ripper, he usually uses it for his Sunday shows to show the crowd colour variations.

On the other computer jonno?
