The problem is the delivery system. Think of the venom as .45 caliber ammo - with a death adder, the delivery system is a Colt Defender. With a rhamphiophis, it's an underhand toss.

Neal:

I've been keeping rhamphiophis for years and there are two accurate ways to sex them - the first is by keeping a group together and seeing who screws who.

The second is by necropsy.
OMG, I love the comment about keeping a group together and seeing who screws who, lmao. I ordered two, so I hope I received 1.1, one was labeled as male and the other female. The only way that will show me is time though, I would of gotten all four of them if they weren't $150 a piece, say if they were like $100-110 a piece I would of forked the extra cash. Regardless though, hopefully sometime in the future they are easier ways to come by these fascinating species. I also owe my thanks to you for pointing me in the direction to get them.

How did you know though, because they weren't on his website?
