That male is a pretty agressive suitor! Hopefully something good will come of all this chasing and biting....maybe several something goods.

I had a pair of rubidus last year, unofortantely they came in in really bad shape. I REALLY hope you can produce some this next year. Great project!!

*Cheers*

Thanks Fred! I'm trying and keeping my fingers crossed. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of rubidus out there....

Very nice! What stock are they? Any red on them?

Let's see some pics!!!!

No red, really...solid black snakes with a lot of white under the chin and throat and on their cheeks...a little salmon suffusion on the sides of the throat. In the sunlight, you can see that they have a little reddish/brownish tint to the tail. They look to me more like Easterns than any of the other subspecies, but they obviously aren't Easterns.

I have no earthly idea which stock they came from. They guy I got them from thought they were Texans and sold them to me as such. They are, however, very nice animals...very large and solid and amazing feeders. The male is somewhere around 7 feet, the female a little smaller at maybe 6 feet.

I'll have new pictures soon. I'm setting up to photograph all of my Drymarchon. It's sort of a big production for me...I have to get all of the background material together, set up the stage, run off test shots..make adjustments..run a final shoot. It takes a few days...plus sometimes, they just don't wanna pose....

wow! Good luck with them! i can't wait to see some pics!!

Thanks..

They were locked up for about 3 1/2 hours this afternoon....

they were locked up AGAIN!

I hope you got some shots of them in the act!!! Good luck with them! I may have to get on the list for some babies!
