Also today I found some Psammophis aegyptius hatching. It's a rear fanged snake from Egypt. Although not too impressive as babies, a healthy adult is quite attractive.

And you should see one rip into a live mouse. They not only use venom, but constrict and are fast as lightening when they spot food.

This is next to drop any day.

A 25 dollar rescue from a wholesaler that had a respiratory. Heat lamp and baytril and now stuffed with babies that are keeping me awake at night awaiting.

What is neat is the same male bred this black one a month earlier then the Orange one. And although the black is gravid, the Orange dropped first. And the male continued to breed the Black female for many months and ignored the Orange. I mean all 3 would eat and the male would swallow fast and then dash over to mate the female Black again while she was still swallowing her mouse. Funny as heck. But he does it every time she moves fast. He is separated now and needs a year or two to rest.

7 foot emerald is about to drop, but she is not venomous so she does not count. She looks like she ate a bowling ball as of late.

I'm drooling with envy; nice snakes and you can always post some non venomous stuff here (personally, I think more folks on this forum should consider keeping non venomous based on some of the crap I see here). Keep up the good work!
