To get Fooble off my back, here are two pictures of my tigersnake.

Got it from an awesome friend in Vryheid. It is a bit on the thin side. Tried to feed it a gecko when I got it, but no luck, so I left a gecko in and put a fuzzy in with it too and it then ate both. So I've been feeding it a fuzzy each feed since, which is about once a week, occasionally skipping a week. It seems to prefer them. I might give it a gecko every now and then, if it will take it. Advice?

Cheers

One of SA's finest. Awesome specimen. Congrats. I love mine. Your snake is not on the thin side, they are a slender species, that is how they are supposed to look. My advise, if he's on pinks then scrap the house gecko's all together. They dont need it. Your indigenous collection is growing nicely.

Have sexed it yet ?

I would never... Oh.. I see..

No I haven't checked yet to see what it is. Looks to old to pop, haven't got another one to compare tail sizes and don't have probes. ha ha

My favorite snake, (African species) I have only seen then captive in a few snake parks, never seen a wild one

I haven't seen them in the wild either. I've tried when I was in areas that are suppose to have them like northern Natal, but no luck. Ya, I've wanted to keep one of these for ages.

Jayd just dont over feed!
Too much food and they will roll.

Thanks.
Will keep that in mind.
