batman... You can tell those are some very large Dry's but I think we need a snake in hand shot for some serious size reference? Also whats Rubidus temperments compared to other Dry's?
Even though I'm about tapped out on "expensive snake" funds I would venture to say that selling rubidus would be alot easier than selling couperi in this day in age and you still get the big black snake look.

Here is a shot of a 05 male produced by Jeff Snodgres.
He is eating 1/2 lb rabbits. Tame as a kitten.

Enjoy,

Eating rabbits wow. Being only 3 years old I can still see some growing! So hows the 'tude on those big snakes?

Nate

That's an impressive animal!
I'm beginning to like rubidus quite a bit.

Photo says alot about a massive Drymarchon. Tickle him under the chin to get acquainted. There was a remarkable photo of a large rubidus on this forum a few years ago. It was a field shot of one in a tree swallowing a large lyre snake. Would love to see it again.

That is a cool pic Alan.

Steve, if I am thinking of the same picture it was taken by Chris Harrison.

Yes, and he ran it just recently on the FieldHerpers forum. Not only is the Dry impressive, the Lyre snake is huge. Chris Harrison has posted some great photos. I recall seeing a photo of a DOR D. rubidus with a truly red venter, I think his work as well.
