Two Asian Naja pictures.

Two Asian Naja pictures.

Postby JeffG » Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:54 pm

My photographic skills leave much to be desired but I thought I would upload these two pictures for your guys enjoyment.

First up is my female Naja atra bred by Sly.
Image

Next up is the Naja siamensis male I purchased from deleray, hoping he manages to get lucky with the female I got from Eyelash earlier in the year.

I now keep them all on a mulch, coco I think, to help with humidity and because I don't read enough newspaper to keep up with their metabolism :-D
Jokes aside they really seem to be enjoying the added humidity.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Guys,

Still working on those Naja naja pics for you Deon, just don't want to stress the buggers out. The winter we had here really slowed down their feeding even with heating.

Just a picture of the atra in the ice cream tub i got her in, unfortunately I didn't think to take pictures back then but I can see how she has grown. She has now started eating small rat pups!

Would love to know how the rest of you that got Atra this year are doing with your youngsters.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi All,

Just thought i would update you on the Naja atra females growth. It is 2 months since the last picture of her in the ice cream tub. This is the same ice cream tub and she is now eating small rats.

And here is one just for fun.

Shooo...they've grown like crazy man...Stunning snake !

They were shorter than a small ice cream tub (just big enough to take a pink) when I had them with me !

p.s Just to answer your prev. post...I dont keep cobras (Naja sp.) any more J...

Regards
Louis.

Thanks Louis!

Yes these guys have grown like weeds... The male is a bit smaller as he isn't switching to rats as easily as the female did but he is eating smallish mice now. The female makes a nice hood for photographs and is relatively laid back but the male doesnt even hood anymore.

Serpent68, I keep a few cobras and have to say that any cobra collection has to have a pair of atra. They eat like pigs and have an awesome personality nevermind their sheer beauty.

Can't say it enough but to those of you out there keeping any venemous snake, don't take chances be careful.

Thanks,
Jeff
