The Olives are here (pics)

I got my olives in this morning and the look wonderful. Both males and the female had some of the calmest temperament i have ever seen.

I will make sure to get some better pics when they settle in.

I'll hold you to it! lol! I even edited my siggy

Any idea when these guys were hatched? I can't wait for some outdoor pics.

Hahaha that's great they were hatched a little over 2 weeks ago.

oh wow yeah I thought they looked pretty small! Have they taken their first meals yet?

not yet, they just shed and i am going to offer them there first meal in 6 days.

Nice. I worked with them for awhile and they are by far the calmest big snake i have ever dealt with. Got tired of them breeding and nothing coming from it, though.

There is a "special" way to breed them.

who did you get them from???

Nick at inland reptile

they are sooo beautiful, i have wanted one for the longest time!!! if and when you breed them, which will be a while, you should give me one!!!:banana::rolleye2::banana:

Very nice!!!!! Put me on that two year waiting list. :gj:

Sorry i already promised 1 to mainbutter, I only will make 1 promise per year:D

darn, well what about the year after?!?

but they should have more than one baby a year!!!

I can sell you one but not promise you one

so your saying your going to give mainbutter one for free!?! well what would you be willing to sell one for???

Put me on the list too!!! I'll pay for mine:D

I'm not giving anything away for free, there not even close to being ready to breed, and for all i know i might not even breed them in 2 years.
Plus, i plan on holding most of them back when i eventually breed them.

ok well you dont have to rude about it, god, i was just asking

nice man, Nick @ Inland rocks. you got some good animals there man!

x2! Very nice, congrats.

Wow, gorgeous. :O

Wow, those snakes are absolutely stunning, remind me of my white lipped python.

They are beautiful. I love the Liasis Family of snakes...
I've always loved em.. But never see them in rescue (which isn't a bad thing)
Any how wicked jealous over here in CT..lol
Congrats again,
Rusty

Well when I first seen the pictures, that is exactly what they reminded me of, my white lipped. Which I don't have anymore. The attitude thing is totally biased towards those snakes. The one I had, she was an angel, never struck or bit me. She would hiss sometimes when I had to run my hands through the substrate to find her, but never bit. Not even when I had to place something between her mouth to get a piece of wood that had gotten lodged on the side of her gum.

Thats awesome

Man I have been wanting an olive forever but can never find them. Well never any babies or juvies. Always adults and I do not buy adult animals.

Those are awesome, I will buy one in two years!

So what IS the special way to breed them?

Great olives!! Getting them from my buddy Nick is a big plus as well. I got a pair a year or two back.
I do feel that you will need longer than two years though to produce any offspring from those.

Nick at Inland Reptile should still have some. If not, there should be more next year.

:gj:So nice .

I do have a few, just working on getting them feeding properly

Nick

Really nice! What do you plan to house them as adults in? I'm scared I just do not have the room for one.

Olives are so smooth looking. They are on my list for "someday" I'll have room. lol. Congrats!

I house my 14 year old adults in 2x6 cages. The males can be kept smaller. My smaller breeding male is no larger than most carpet pythons. Females hit repructive size at about 8ft so anything larger is optional. My female is about 11ft, but they never achieve the mass of a a burm or retic at that same length, so even a larger olive is still a managable snake.

Nick

Congrats on picking up that reverse trio! They are awesome snakes for sure!
One of my favorites for sure!

I have a pair and need another male... Nick - I am going to email you later today.

I think i'm going to give Nick a call and see what's available still. I may get one next year or later this year.
