I only have normals...sorry. Love night tigers as well though.

Stunners! Are you planning to make more with them??

IIRC, you were talking about these in a thread a while ago, they are good rodent feeders?

 

[JasonL]

More? nah, I think 5 is enough... yes all eat rodents no prob though they are picky about the size of them, get that right and they will eat a half dozen every second night if you let them

Nasty buggers! No really I love them but they used to give me a lot more tooth action than the gts I used to remove from tourist accom at an Eco tourist resort I once worked in.

They do a great wrap on micro bats coming out of old Chinese mine shafts around Pine Creek.

 

[JasonL]

Nothing wrong with "Normals", I like them all..

 

[Chanzey]

They look incredible.

 

[killimike]

Five is a decent number, fair enough

Thanks for the dietary info. Great that they aren't all fish feeders, that would be a bit more fiddly w five...

You must really love cleaning up after them lol. That is one thing they love to do. crap.

I fed mine today. Mine only seem to eat 4 or 5 weaners/small adults a month.

They are in the lounge room so yes, cleaned twice a week lol

I would love to see the display they are in Jason!

Have any of you keepers had any issues with bites? I have not heard of many bad bite stories from keepers. I am considering these guys, but the venomous aspect would be a new one for me.

 

[JasonL]

lol, they are in a V70 .... yes I have heard of people having allergic reactions to them and needing a quick trip to the hospital... I have had them for a few years and only got my first "bite" a few weeks back, free handling much the same way as in stimigex's photo, one of the "tamer" ones just shifted it bottom jaw to the side and tried to hook me with a fang, sneaky sneaky style, dirty rotten things lol. ( no, I bled from one row of teeth marks but no vinegar in the wound)

A bite from these guys will effect every person differently, It can be nothing at all right through to a severe reaction requiring attention.
Now having said that i havent had a bite from these guys for over 5 years. They were real stress heads as tiny ones and had a nip every now and then.

They look awesome

 

[MrBredli]

These things do play dirty, i copped a bite on the forehead from one of mine... sneaky bastard... though i can't really say i 'never saw it coming' as my eyes were opened.

Yours are spectacular Jason!
