I have 1.1 Philodryas olfersii and 1.1. FWC. If you have had direct experiences of breeding of this species I would want to know as you have proceeded. Temperature humidity%, day of light ecc...

The head is supposed to be the opposite end AWAY from you...not to give it's tail support!

While H. gigas are unlikely to cause a serious envenomation, Philodryas olfersii have caused some nasty bites, and it would be advisable to be a little more cautious around them. The gloves are a form of protection, and I do see that your arms are covered by long sleeves, which does provide some protection from rear fangs as well, but you should really keep that guys head AWAY from you. As Chris said, the point of a snakehood is to keep the snakes head away from you, not to support the tail, lol. Please be careful, no one likes to read about bites on here. There are too many as it is. Take care and be safe.

I purchased a pair of hatchling gigas, raised them up, bred them, raised those young, & bred them, over a 13 year period beginning about 25 years ago. Temperature was not really controlled much..I live in south Florida. The only control was a space heater during the winter to make sure the room did not fall below 50*F. Getting them to produce eggs was not difficult. Like Bern Bechtel used to say about corn snakes: "Just put a pair in a cage together & get out of their way."
