Something a bit different

No one seems to visit the Scrub Forum very frequently so I thought I'd offer this change of pace. As depicted, these little gems come w/attitude! The browish one is almost certain to bite 2 out of three times you hold him while the reddish female is a bit more "docile". I'm just hoping they'll eventually calm down once out of their cages!

i love the look of scrubs, but i think they're a little too "rowdy" for me, and a little on the big side! great pics though.

I have 2.2 scubs on breeding loan. When I first handed the 10' male, a stunning animal, a rat on a pair of tongs, he looked around the rat at my hand. I knew then they were not ordinary animals.

I wore gloves.....

They do seem to act more like dogs than snakes! Mine will "sniff" my hand constantly like a Bloodhound on the scent. Then sometimes they'll decide to bite! No strike, no warning, just a bite! Hopefully they'll grow more tolerant over the years.

They do seem to get more tolerant as they get larger. (mostly) One of mine was a 4 footer, female. She'd bite at any opportunity. The 10' male was pretty cool about things. They do NOT like to be handled.
