Reptilenutt-yes you are! Awesome set up you have there, you thought of everything for the well being of your animals. Am going to pinch your idea of the rolled up blind.Cheers. Disgustipated-something like this would be great.

Very nice indeed.

Awesome thread here Insect Direct. Love the blueys but don't keep any anymore, got a few different sorts happening over here in Australia, albinos, blacks, stripes. Cheers.

The small 1's are mainly the "nutters" cause everything is after them, most mellow out as they get larger. Come on over to Australia, plenty of other goodies too. Red Bellies are 1 of my favorites.

Tiger snakes having sex! What's that french word? A mating from 2yrs ago My very first adder I bred, a northern (Acanthophis paelongus) at 1 day old. At 2 months old. At around 2 1/2yrs' Mum & Dad.

Brown Tree Snake-still amazes me how they do this

I'm involved in a couple of "snake" clubs & am yet to meet a fellow maori or any pacific islander who keeps snakes. Apart from my children, all other cuzzy's won't go near them. Snakes, like spiders, most people would rather steer clear of them. And with me keeping alot of venomous snakes that is very hard for a lot of people to understand. Think I'm an odd-ball! Classic!

I'm maori & the rental place next door is occupied by Tongans. They know I have them but are yet to ask if they can have a look.

Not my cup of tea either. But it is a business for Brian at snakebytes, same as battery hens, puppy farms etc. Supply & demand unfortunately. I do it for the love of the animal & not the almighty $$$. I know of no other private keeper who keeps venomous snakes in outdoor pits where they enjoy all the elements of mother nature. Just my view. Cheers

Nothing wrong with your opinion, thats what forums are all about. Fish in a bowl, bird in a cage, list goes on & on, go to any zoo with concrete floors, steel bars, nothing natural about that. But in time we learn new ways of doing things, over here we have very little on how to keep venomous snakes in Victoria. We learn from more experience keepers about what works & what doesn't. Their are no studys done on "how to do it" so we learn off those more knowledgeable. I do what works best for me with my top priority being my safety first then the welfare of the animal. Being doing it for 18 years now & as yet no problems. Keep to the 3 things in life (food, water & shelter) & we are headed in the right direction. If ever over this way look me up, would love to show you in more detail about these amazing animals. Cheers
