Two Little Beauties

Just thought I'd take some pictures during cleaning this week.

Male, not feeling too happy about being moved around

Female checking everything out

Female in nearly cleaned enclosure for size comparison (Yearling in the bottom enclosure)

Thanks Boskobra, I really enjoy them. Also in my top five indigenous. They're a real pleasure to have in the family, especially the demonic male... :lol:

Thanks Shadowfoot, when I got her she was about 500g-600g in weight, and is now just on 1kg. She's about 94cm-95cm at the moment, so I'm sure she'll be a big girl by next season.

Whoo whoo Bud. Do I smell a breeding project coming up.
Congrats, really beautiful snakes. May she give you many little beautiful Death Machines.

Thanks Roland. Yes, if she is up to scratch, just maybe some CBB babies will be available. "Death Machines" is an understatement! I've never seen a snake jump... Until I had the little one in the bottom enclosure... He literally jumps at me! Coiled watch-springs of death with venom glands is what they are! :lol: I've seen purps with better attitudes...
