My ATB Picture Thread

[Brett943]

I got a yellow ATB over the weekend which I am very excited about. I think these snakes are beautiful and menacing at the same time. At the reptile shop he pooped, struck at and bit the guy working there and has struck at me multiple times while setting up his enclosure. Today I was bit twice just rearranging things...my first snake bite I might add!!! Anyway here are some poor quality pics...

Here's one more...

Congrats on the new addition :) His enclosure looks nice, and he sure does look to have quite the attitude, lol.

Thanks, I have been trying to get a more natural look going. Forgot to add the war wound evidence haha

Congrats on the new atb, his cage looks great!

Congrats! I love your setups. :)

[Brett943]

Thank you for the compliments! I have used a rack system in the past and it worked well for its purpose but now I am going for more natural setups because I have a fair bit of money in my snakes and want to enjoy them to the fullest and for me I get more enjoyment out of an aesthetically pleasing natural look. Today I added a magnetic ledge up high.

Awesome looking snake and enclosures. What is the substrate you are using(and brand)?

Thanks Mikoh! The ATB has Zilla Jungle Mix (fir and sphagnum peat moss) substrate, my other boas and carpet python are now on Zoo Med Forest Floor (cypress mulch) and I usually use aspen for my corn snake.

Finally a perching pic!

Perching and yet already targeting you :D what an awesome creature

[Brett943]

Haven't posted pics in a while so here are some more. I apologize in advance for any that come out sideways as certain ones do that when uploaded from my phone.

Nice snake and setup. He looks like he likes your hands! :p

[Brett943]

yes...he is nice to look at but seems to enjoy the taste of blood!!!! :p I am very pleased with the way my enclosures have turned out with the real branches

[Brett943]

Should be picking up these 2 stunners in a couple weeks after they have had a few meals! :)

[Brett943]

The babies have had a few f/t meals now and I will be picking them up later this week! As for my other guy he is a great display snake and very aware of his surroundings (ready to strike):rolleyes:

[Brett943]

Well I picked up my 2 babies last night from the breeder and couldn't be happier to finally have them! As soon as I saw he had a surprise litter I contacted him and drove out after their first shed to pay for the ones I wanted...then I had to wait 5 long weeks and now they are here! I will get some more pics in a few weeks after I ensure they feed reliably.

Great looking babies, just hope they aren't as bloodthirsty as the first one.
Does the first one calm down after you have him out of the enclosure, or just keep biting anything within range?

Thanks! They definitely are stunners in person, hopefully they keep their colors fairly well into adulthood. I don’t take the first one out much as he does not seem to enjoy being disturbed but when I have had him out he won't strike for no reason but any sudden movements or getting too close to him he will. I have been taking a more hands off approach and trying to get him used to me cleaning, misting and changing water when he is in there and he seems to be coming along and tolerating my presence more.
