Whoa!
The scrubby looks long mate!
I love the heads on those carpets too! Big, blocky and mature.
The Argie is looking very fit as well.
How big is your olive these days?
You have a pretty mature collection and I can't believe how much they have all grown.
Nice post Zig!

Thanks G!
The scrub has gotta be close to 9' if not a tad longer. The olive is closer to 8' but a bit heavier bodied. Their personalities are like like night and day. The olive is so much easier to deal with. I can reach in and take him out of his cage anytime without gloves or a hook. I've got to suit up with gloves and long sleeves for the scrub every time. He doesn't bite as much but he's still very unpredictable and always let's you know that he prefers to be left alone. I lowkey wanted one snake with a little attitude and I definitely got my moneys worth with that guy. The olive is a dream to handle. He's just a larger carpet.

I feel like if I tried that with my BP he'd just head straight to the ground and leave to hide under something. :rolleyes:

Outstanding!
A nine footer is perfect and I'm glad he is settling a bit. I'm still dealing with my new Brissy, coastal. She's settled a bit but is still twitchy and honestly I'm not up for taking bites after my retic experience so I use gloves with her.
That said, none of these guys here would ever aggressively challenge me, bite, constrict and twist like the retic did so if any of these guys snap they snap and I'll deal with it.
Your olive is beautiful.
I've enjoyed watching all of your animals grow.
They all look great sir.

Precisely! Many snake owners are hard at work all day, & they barely have time to get their own exercise, much less give their serpents a decent work-out! :rofl:
Don't forget to include some counseling for the "nose-pushers", and a little discount for multiple members on the "family plan". :D
I think a "spa day" would go over very well too, & maybe some mud-packs for skin toning? :snake:
