Anybody else here have those? All I see are posts about BRB's. So I thought I would ask.

. I used to breed Argentinians. I keep only one of them as a pet now. They are really sweet pets. They are easier for a beginner to keep than Brazilians. They do fine with temperatures and humidity about midway between typical colubrid and Brazilian Rainbow requirements. They usually do not get too big with most adults 3.5 to 4.5 feet long. I did have one wc imported female that was almost 5.5 feet long though. I had several litters of babies from two different females and had problems with some of the babies. They were small and delicate and some were slow to start feeding. I suspect my breeder male was genetically inferior as other breeders report their baby alvarezi to be hardy.

Albinoman,
How old is the baby in the picture? Do you have pics of the parents?
