Darwin Carpets

I have a little boy hatched around the same time.... He is just starting to get his colours coming through.... Where did you get urs from ???

Pet shop in Darwin....all good but I think next time I would seek out a local breeder. It would be interesting to see their set ups too and I don't really like crowding into small shops and competing for service..

oops sorry, it should be ok now....

This is my Bitey, he is about 8 years old. Totaly insane has been ever since he was a baby. The last six people he has bitten has been on the face. He is over 2m long. His sister was a gem, never bit always calm.

Last six people on the face!!!!!!! he is a BEAST!!!!! Nice looking but I think I like the idea of one falling asleep in your hand. Esp if at 2 mtrs. Ha it is funny...... most of the people i know shiver in terror at the thought of getting bitten by a snake. I have had my fair share of reptile nips........worst was a handfull of holes from a 1mtr crock that grabbed my fishing lure.

l just spray branches with flyspray , leave 20min , then submerge in a very hot bath for an hour or so . Put bricks on top to hold under water , then rinse and sun dry .

Ok thanks......sounds a good way of making sure they are clean. I have heard of putting them in the oven but my oven is not that big....

i wouldn't use insect spray, why bother, find some heavy duty black plastic bags, wrap the branch in it, seal it tight and leave in the sun for a week (or longer if you can)

I've heard this before but I've never actually tried it, going to do it soon though. I was thinking that I'd let off some TOD (Top Of Decent) in the bag first, just to help things along a bit. Apparently it works well on pillows also, the bag in the sun, not the TOD.

sorry i didn't realise you were meaning TOD, (brain fade) that should be fine, and the black plastic is a trick they use in some backpacker hotels to kill bed bugs, heavy duty plastic, duct tape, out in the sun for the day or two.... cooks the little suckers...

apologies again, it was jungletrans suggestion

l just spray branches with flyspray , leave 20min ,
