just noticed these edits and ja it’s a big shame that scrubs aren’t more widely known about outside of Australian reptile circles because they’re truly amazing and imo, a really solid option for people who want to get into big snakes but aren’t into powerlifting like me lol they are super slim comparative to the other big snakes - only thing is, they can be real feisty and their fangs are on par with emerald tree boas but in my experience if you work with them a whole lot, they can be just as tame as BCC’s; just super inquisitive and active and always wants to exploreOriginally Posted by Homebody
i understand why Angolans aren’t super common in the hobby because their habitat in Southern Angola/North Namibia is hostile in its own right and strewn with land mines but like with scrubs they’re super cool and super docile - extremely close in relation to P. regius/ball pythons but with several distinct differences, both physically and temperamentally - almost like a scrub python brain in a ball python body covered in beaded scales like a gila monster
