My Philodrya Olfersii
« on: February 18, 2010, 07:25:49 AM »
Hello people!
This is my first therad, so I'd like to show you something rarely seen . This my first venemous colubrid, I've acquired it three days ago, and although it is known to be an agressive specie, she seems to be quite tame and gentle (however I always handle her with gloves) Here are the pictures:




Sorry if I have mistakes with my english!!

WE SEE NEWS STORIES ENTITLED “WHEN PETS GO BAD,” BUT OFTEN A MORE APPROPRIATE TITLE IS “WHEN PET OWNERS TURN STUPID!!!”

Yes it is. Although it's difficult to be bitten, there are records of bites and death caused by this snake in Brazil.
