Nice snakes (all of them)!

Are they hatchling textilis from OZ? Do you know if the hatchling OZ textilis have the orange head with a black ring around their neck like the hatchling PNG/IJ textilis? I know this probably varies whith different localities in OZ, but any thoughts?

Also, they do eat much better than PNG/IJ hatchling textilis, dont they?

Thanks in advance.

Is that the same crazy snake you sent us in Dallas?

Actually, the one I sent to Dallas was a PNG Brown. Same species, much different!
The Aussie browns are much larger, have a hell of alot less of a sense of humor about it all! Not mention much faster!
These guys are only about 8 inches long which makes them insanely difficult to keep control of. thats why I started calling them poison pogosticks!
Chad:
6 of the seven feed readily on pinks, one was and is being assist fed.
The PNG's seem to be smaller as hatchlings (and adults) but have been started on crickets before and off to small skinks then to pinks....
