Show us your RSPs

[Snapped]

Im new to Roughies, but have admired them for ages.
Now the proud owner of a lovely little male, 7 months old (8 months on the 14th) from Owzi.

Just got him a week ago, he fed the next night, got him out yesterday for a quick play, he's really lovely and inquisitive, and is settling in well.

I'll add some pics when I'm on the comp, can't do it on the iPad.

Wow that's awesome mate I haven't seen anything with mine yet how long you been pairing them for?

Only started intro's at the start of this month, very much breeding bredli's for time frames.
Though his not shy with the dark girl, but secretive with the lighter female.
1st season with these guys so time will tell but looking promising so far

Sorry to hear that. He's a stunner by the way.

These have just become available in the UK.
For a male and female that hatched this year you'll need to pay £6000!

Pretty happy to wake up to this, this morning

Sorry to hear you lost your RSP, he certainly was a beaut.

For those that are interested, Rsp's (at my place anyway)will start mating around June and usually lay mid to late this month.
My gravid girl is approx 10 days off laying....I have also found the best way to successful breeding is to put them together and leave them together for the whole mating season...
I pretty much put them together at the beginning of June and apart from weekly water changes I don't disturb them till the male comes out of the hide (think he gets kicked out) in around mid August and at this time I put him back in his own enclosure and the female will pre-lay within a few weeks after....

Cheers,
Alan

Cheers for the info Alan. Always good to hear advice from guys in the know. These guys are definitely a little late to the party then. Pretty exciting to see for a first timer though.

Mine only started mating last month placed the together on normal morelia timings last season and got no result this season later intros and heaps of mating activity.

Not a great photo but here are mine a few weeks ago. They've been together all winter and this is the first time I've seen them copulating. See what happens I guess, I have heard July and August copulating is fairly standard, maybe yours are really early swampie?

This girl is getting a good size to her for next year, she's 1.6m and 1.3kgs as of today (I use crittersize an iPhone app to measure for those interested). Dodgy photo of me just for size comparison.

hey andy i know you didnt ask me lol but i love my rsps so much i had to throw in my 2 cents. Their temperaments are amazing none of my 3 have ever even looked like biting ( except for when being probed haha but i can understand for that time ) very curious and love climbing

Her nickname is puppy dog because she's a big softy. In the beginning most of mine were very flighty and tried to escape when being handled but have calmed down as they got older, they've never tried to bite though.

Mine are very calm, have never struck at me, perfect feeders. I can't say enough about these snakes, they've really won my affection.

Here is the newest guy bought from Vixen, he's a real sweetie.
