she is awesome. has never tried to bite once, not even when handled by my 4 and 2 yr old kids! the breeder i got mine from said she would grow to about 1.5 m, others i have heard will grow to 2.2m from my understanding it is a locality thing that determines size (along with feeding habits)

she is the recent addition to my zoo of a house. 3 months old, snappy and angry when i first got her, 4 days of two 2 hour handling sessions and she loves my hands more than her case. Best natured snakes. If the breeder handles them alot, you wouldnt even have the troubles i had with mine to begin, they love humans.

very nice tim!
Cheers guys, just a quick question for my own knowledge, I saw further up this thread a part about sizes and locality, this is something that is intreeging me, I have seen pics of large md's 6 foot plus, but the ones we have over here max out at 4-5 foot is this true too locality? Hope that all makes sense?!

i am not an expert but from my understanding mds can range from 1.5m - 2.2m so an adult at around 5 foot is quite possible. i believe (someone correct me if i am wrong) mds originating from furthur south don't reach the length of ones from say nsw or qld.

I just measured her a few days ago. She is 209cm long. I haven't measured her weight in a while but its probably about 4kg. She is about 3 and a half years old.
I bet she is such a beautiful sight crawling through the grass astrosteve, I guess the main bloodline of md's we have is from a southernly locale, there is another bloodline in germany which is more red and brown which from what I can figure out is more northernly locale which I would presume will grow larger.

Here is my Girl Molly, my first snake and she is 3 years old, i did a lot of research on snakes ( purely for my girlfriends sake haha) and they are probally the best snake to start of with as they are very easy to care for and so damn placid in 3 years she has never bitten me or anyone, they will like most baby snakes be a bit snappy as babies but like all snakes they also grow out of this, its just that they are a bit scared and hungry couldnt recommend a better snake to anyone, mine is coming around2.3 metres long
