I think he's 8 or 9 days old today. He is not yet on rodents.  I was advised at least another week until he's taken several meals. I'm still working on switching the bt cribo over to rodents, he's refusing anything i throw in there unless it's a frog or snake. I can't wait to get him home either because those pictures are terrible, and i believe everyone deserves good pictures.  =)

Me too. I had to HUNT DOWN these snakes to begin with. Then the one person that usually has them was all out, and the breeder just called last week to say his eggs hatched. I think there was a posting on fauna, but he only had one left.  As for THIS photo, to clear things up before hand, their venom is mild, and they are rear fanged, similar to a mangrove. What's very different with this species is they're known for their gentle disposition. Which is why the breeder is freehandling one.Farmers actually release them on location in south america to keep away rodents and venomous snakes. They're actually a pretty neat species, and a venomous colubrid at that. Not a whole lot of extensive research has been done on this species, but they have the power and size of the large colubrids, combined with venom, so they're just an all around nifty snake, that also doubles as a pet for a few lucky herpers. Unfortunately since there is only a few cb clutches recorded, the pricing and availability is still somewhat a pain. BUT, I would still recommend them for any collection to the advanced herpetologist.

Wow, that's really awesome that you got this guy then! I think the rarer snakes are always the most interesting ones, maybe that's why I love woma pythons so much, although they aren't quite as rare as this guy lol. Colubrids are just so fascinating, I can totally understand why you love them so much!

I believe there was one left on fauna advertised at $700, i doubt it's still there. they are VERY hard to get a hold of these days. I had to wait months just to find someone who HAS them. Try fauna, and of course daytona this weekend.
