They recently did a snakebytes episode focusing on these guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qohDSYrglys

checked it out. it's not too informative but it was cool seeing all the different morphs and different locality color changes.

Its their personality that makes them so cool IMO, they think they are bigger than life, tend to try and "fly" out of their enclosures, but once they are in your hands they are puppy dog calm (for the most part, I know lefty's new female is possessed).

How nippy compared to other snakes?

How nippy compared to other snakes?

they are like most aussies. nippy as hatchlings. mellow with age. my male is small and he has chilled way out. my female is bigger, still nowhere near full grown and she is mean. she hasnt been handled at all and i have no doubt that i can tame her down with ease. as sub adults and adults they are puppy dog tame. even the nippy babies are fine out of their enclosure.

And they are so small that its almost cute when the nip you. I was actually shocked when mine drew blood, I didn't think it was possible. But my little one in the cage will strike over and over at anything, his reflections, snake hook, hand. I pull him out and he will strike maybe 3 more times, then hes fine...just starts exploring the world around him. The other day he had a mouth full of substrate from striking at the hook and I pulled him out and he let me open and clean his mouth without an issue.

i love his color and pattern.

[jclaiborne]

Thanks! His color and spots haven't faded at all. I know hes still young, but I have seen some of his litter mates that have already lost some banding, so maybe I will get lucky and some of it will stay.
