[user 54862]

G'day,
Trent's the name.. got two M.s Imbricata
My first is 41 weeks of age .. and confirmed a Male ."NiKiSiXX" previously thought was a female when purchased..
He is a gem and very cohabitable... toilet trained so far so good onto the grass outside...
Second is a small Female."Cleopatra". whom is suppose to be 34 weeks... only got her a week ago.. she is alot smaller and is sized as a 4 month old with no colouring coming through as yet.. I am th8nking she is younger than I've been told.. time will tell as she has only been fed pinky mice till I got her.. she has had a Fuzzy mouse 4 days ago and will get another tomorrow..

Thanx for the welcome... NiKiSiXX, I named as was the 6th to pip out
CLeoPaTRa is named as.... well named as it sounded kool. NiKi is the sweetest boy, very very handlable and chilled.. CLeo isn't so much, but is getting better, as hasn't had much handling in her life till now..

By chance can you share a pic or two of their enclosure? Thanks.

Wow! Thanks. Those enclosures look cool and interesting. Have you thought of breeding your snakes someday?

Cheers, i also have a 120x60x120 3nclosure ready to assemble when yhe time comes..
I have thought about breeding yes.
Originally I got NikiSiXX with no plans to breed.. what I thought was a female..
Then found out she was a He haha
Had the chance to take on CLeoPaTRa, and we will see... but will wait till they are at least 3-4 years old before thinking about it.. want to do a few summers and winters and monitor and learn about their routine first..

Both NiKiSiXX and CLeoPaTRa are coming on well.. fed yesterday. CLeoPaTRa on the 03/10 was 65grams, yesterday prior to being fed was weighed up as 82grams.. look forward to hwr next shed, to see if her colours will start to come through...
forgot to weight NiKiSiXX... will do, in a few days once digestion has happened, but he is getting longer by the week haha

Well it seems my CLeoPaTRa is a Male.. haha
So I've renamed him KhenZu, which is the Egyptian Moon God.
He is deep in shed ATM, and guess he will be done within the week..

NiKiSiXX hangin about for some sun last week..

Welcome to the forum, nice looking snakes, I had a SW years ago, really nice temperament. Your two look to be in good shape, love the jeep in one of the enclosures, brought me right back to remembering Jurassic park, haha.

Did you get Cleopatra (now KhenZu) probed by a vet or a herp friend? I like the name KhenZu.

Thanx for the welcome...
KhenZu was popped as a female from breeder, then I took him to same guy when I took over care of him and Reptile n grow probed him.. probe went in a way, but I'm not efficient in knowing anything about that so can only take his word..

Haha I dig the Jeeps too.. funny, NiKiSiXX turns the jeep over, then back on its wheels sometimes haha

 

[Snapped]

Yep, I've watched a few YT videos from some snake breeders how they pop them, I guess they've had years of experience, but can always be wrong once in a while.
I had one of mine probed when I first got her as a 2yo, as she was underweight and I wanted to get her checked out by our reptile vet. So that was interesting to see, she's turned into a real beauty though.
Ha, it would be funny seeing that he knocked the jeep over, and then see it upright again....if you find it missing and it's in his hide, then be scared
