First of all, they're really, really cool! I've got a pair and they are some of my favorites. Talk about personality!

Thanks Mike,
Great write up!!! What is your experience as far as temperament goes?? How do they compair as far as keeping goes, say to Chondros, Papuans, White lips,ECT?? I thought you keep some of these others as well, that's why I ask.

Well, let's put it this way...you know the "S" position most snakes assume defensively? M. nauta are a bit more "pro-active", and don't seem to be satisfied with one "S", in my opinion, so they stack an extra one on top. This puts about 4-6 bends in the upper 1/3 of their body, giving them a reach of nearly 3/4 their body length. On one end is a prehensile tail as a safety line, while at the other is a dead on accurate wide open mouth full of teeth!
Ask me how I know, LOL!
