Baxtor what sort of enclosure do you keep your copperhead in and why do you use straw. It seems like a good idea, I have all my hides in the pits filled with straw but never thought to use it as a substrate.

Gorgeous little coppers Baxtor! And sensational pics Nephrurus! Wow!

Speaking of copperheads, I'm not sure if I've posted these already. Hard to keep track of 69 pages :lol:

A wild one:

And my lil' baby (who's actually a fair bit bigger than this now)

mark, The enclosure shown in one of the pics is not her normal one and the hay is not the usual substrate but more of a "birthing chamber" sort of thing. It gives them plenty of cover as soon as they are born and it helps a lot for that first shed. Normally my snakes get newsprint or hand towel in front opening enclosures but when I think it's getting close she goes in with the hay.

i keep all my elapids on hay other than 2 tigers which are inside there on news paper havent had any problems yet saying that i have heard that other people have had problems with there snakes getting a type of hay fever thingy im thinkin its the dust but may be not and why do i keep them on hay because i have a shed full of the stuff its there its easy

I have not come across a copperhead yet that was not placid, young or old. I am sure you could get one to bite but I reckon it would require a lot of abuse.

Just a strange question,
Im noticing alot of wild elapid pics taken directly from the side (ground level), do you guys lay on the ground or kneel down etc?

Yep, hard to get down on their level any other way.....just avoid the pointy end :lol:

Tiger shots are great Henrietta, time you got over here to play with some black and yellow ones.
