Rufous Beaked Snake Arrived

A few minutes ago fedex dropped off my snake i've been looking for, and it only took me 5 months to find one. He's not too big around, and about maybe10-11" long. I'll get some pictures up in a few, I umm, thought he would be bigger then what he was so I need to re-arrange him from a 20gal to a 10gal.

rufous beaked snakes are cool but i dont ever see them available tho

Yea me either, that's why I jumped on the purchase when I found a guy who has them. Pictures are coming up in a minute.

Ok, here are the pictures:

never seen this type before. its very cool looking.... do you feed it bird seed? lol sorry couldnt resist.

LOL. He ate 2 pinkys a few days prior.

thats quite the long cool looking snake. how big u expecting it to get with maturity?

From what i've read they get 4-6ft. Though some grow a tad larger.

Congrats on getting him, :gj:

He is definately a looker. :D

I look forward to seeing him grow - and can we get a side on shot of his head next time too? I just want to see what the profile looks like. :)

Yep, I will try to get side shot, I tried in those pictures, but hes too attentivate to his surroundings and he follows any movement. I can't wait till he goes through a few shed cycles, and clears up good, and changes to his more permanent color. Next I just got to make sure he puts on a little weight, he's so tiny.

post pictures or your banned :D

I will snap some tomorrow, he's sleeping for the night.

lucky...... thats an acceptable answer lol

hes beautiful. if you dont mind will you forward me the info of whom you purchased him from. Rufus are on my short list and by your pics, the time has come for me to buy one.

Sure thing, check your PM. He doesn't have anymore babies, but he still has some adults.

Wow that is one of the coolest looking snakes I've ever seen!! :O I don't think I'd ever heard of them before. *sigh* my list of "snakes I wish I could have" grows ever longer :P

You can get one, not for long though but they are available. If you get reptiles magazine they're in the december issue.

Congratulations-- I really want one of these. I think they are so wonderful. YOURS is gorgeous!

Thanks, I love him. He has an awesome personality, and he is very active. Only thing I don't like is he didnt eat for me yesterday when I tried to feed him. I think the pinky mouse may of been a bit too big for him as he didn't seem interested, so i'm going to goto the petstore and get a live pinky newborn and try in a few days.

Cool snake- does he feel like an AHS when you hold him? ...And was he expensive? :cool:

AHS? That could mean a few different things so i'm not sure on what you're referring to. Also he wasn't really expensive at all, I paid $115 shipped, only mixup was the guy was a moron and shipped him. regular fed ex overnight so it would of been about 4:30-5 before he got here, luckily I knew the fed-ex driver who had her so he did an out-of-route drop off to my house at like 10am.

He is hidious...horrible the ugliest thing I have ever seen get rid it !! I'll PM you with an address to where he must be sent in order to avoid exposing the world to such awfulness! ** skips off to get a tank ready**

LOL, yea yea.... He's a hell of a eater too. Just get you one of your own :p. If you are going to the show, you going to bring your corn? I'm debating if I will bring one of mine with me or not.
