They average about 5-6 foot

Very shy and secretive and in my opinion really don't like being handling, they are always on the go and trying to flee from your hands ... I have a pair which are handlable, who do not attempt to bite or 'S' up and gape which is typical densive of this species. But I've had others that have been the spawn of satan and would bite at every oppurtunity.

babies start out fairly calm and handlable but seem to undergo a personality change at around 10 - 12 months.

They are easy to breed, they breed all year round with multiple clutches as many as 9 has been recorded, but more usually 4-6. They average between 8-12 eggs per clutch which take 70-90 to incubate @ 80-84F.
