Great pictures! There's so little information about this species out there, either in print or on the web it's always good to see some pictures of them. The best pictures I've seen of P. korros are actually ones that were taken in Sri Lanka and they actually resemble the fuscus you had a picture of. I was originally searching for the the P. muscosus or carinatus, either of which are the largest of the Ptyas species, however the importer was only able to get P. korros, which in retrospect is probably a good thing since dealing with 5 of them is going to be easier probably if they're no longer than 6 or 7 feet than dealing with 5 of them that are 11 or 12 feet long! I do hope to have sucess breeding this species - so a year or so from now, we'll see.
