Rufous Beaked Snake Arrived

[Neal]

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.

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

[Neal]

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

Congrats on getting him,

He is definately a looker.

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.
