WOW he's a beautiful Scrub man. You're very lucky to have such a stunning animal, even if he does have an attitude :p

[TailsW/Scales]

I second that!! Gorgeous boy you've got there.

[The Snake Guru]

Yeah I don't mind the attitude, just makes him a little more interesting to work with. LOL Wouldn't trade him for the world.

[Herpkid101x]

[ToddBecker]

Beautiful scrubs, I definitely plan on getting a pair or trio of them once i get back to KY where I really live. that won't be for three more years but atleast I will have something to look forward to. Todd

[The Snake Guru]

[snakelady13]

[The Snake Guru]

Thanks you much! Glad you enjoyed the pics!

~B~

[reptilenut4sure]

might be a dumb question but I was wondering what kind of snake he is?

[The Snake Guru]

Not at all, can't expect everyone to know all the species. LOL

He's a Barneck Scrub Python.

[Herpkid101x]

god it has such beautiful eyes they look like a marble

[The Snake Guru]

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the pics!

~B~

[ohh_kristina]

I love that hollow log hide deal you have in there! Too beautiful!

[The Snake Guru]

Thank you much! He seems to be enjoying it that is for sure!

[reptilenut4sure]

Was wondering how long do Barneck Scrub Python's get? Was thinking about getting one.

[The Snake Guru]

Barnecks are classified in the "Big Boy" section, specimens have been known to attain 20 feet+ though around 14ft +/- is more of an average. Though they reach very lengthy sizes, they are not as thick as Burms or Retics, still they are very sizable and extremely strong. on an interesting note in Scrubs it is the Males that attain the large sizes, females generally stay smaller.

I'm not sure how much experience you have with snakes, but these guys are not for the weak of heart, they are fast, aggressive, and beligerant, definitely not something for people who haven't delt with large aggressive snakes before, they are beautiful though and worth the effort.

Hope that helps!

Well ive been looking for a couple more snakes and those seem like really awsome ones. Ive got a 4 1/2 red tail boa. And a 4 foot amazon tree boa. I might look at trying to get a baby scrub. But if they get that big then a burm would be the same just a bit calmer. :sorry: Was also looking at a yellow anaconda too. Thanks for the info. I will keep looking

[The Snake Guru]

they are really fun to work with, but not for everyone... a lot people get them and then after being railroaded a couple of time they are looking to off-load them. LOL I love 'em....but I've been told I'm not the most "sane" person around either. LOL

~B~

[reptilenut4sure]

If the people that I go through can get them, I might just get one anyway I like a challange also if they arent' way way to expensive. It will be either this guy or a Albino burm. Might have to flip a coin :) Thanks for all the help/advise.

[The Snake Guru]

LOL, no problem man....you'll have to let me know how it all goes!

~B~

[reptilenut4sure]

Yea I find out tomorrow if the people I go through can get the bar-neck.
Im trying to decide if I want to get a Burmese, Retic or the Bar-Neck. We will see what happens.

[The Snake Guru]

Yeah I never could decide so now I have all 3. LOL

~B~

[reptilenut4sure]

Well Ive ordered an Albino Burmese, I will pick him up Friday. The people I go through cant get the Bar Neck Scrub. I was wondering if you knew any place that would ship one? Cant seem to find anything on google about buying one. Its kind of risky because I cant look the snake over before I get it, but I really want one now. LoL Still cant wait to get my burm in. Going to have alot of fun with him.

[The Snake Guru]

Scrubs are a harder species to come by.....but you are in luck! LOL I've been on a waiting list for most of this year for a Female Barneck, and Dave just had a clutch of beautiful true captive bred barnecks....here's a link to his site
Komodo Reptiles (http://komodoreptiles.com/)
Better jump on it though, barnecks especially C.B ones are a rare occurance, I've already got my female reserved.

Burms are fun too, got a couple of those myself! LOL

~B~

[reptilenut4sure]

Cool thanks for the info, ive e-mailed him hopefully will find out somthing soon. Thanks again for the info. Still cant wait for the burm. Really excited.

[The Snake Guru]

Sounds good man, hope everything works out!

~B~

[reptilenut4sure]

He told me that all the babys he has now are spoken for. I might have better luck next time. I will keep asking around here too.

[The Snake Guru]

Sorry to hear that man. Yeah like I said they go extremely quick! I have been on the waiting list for most of this year. C.B scrubs sell like hot cakes, females especially....I have seen them for sale from time to time though most are imported youngsters and mostly Males....but if you keep an eye out you'll find some.

~B~

[reptilenut4sure]

Yea there is a reptile show coming up around here in September. Im hoping to maybe get one then. But for now I got a couple other snakes im trying to grab atm so its all good.

[The Snake Guru]

You mean ATB? Amazon Tree Boa?
Haven't heard of an ATM .... well unless you are buying a cash machine? LOL

Cool snakes though, should get you in practice for the Scrubs.

~B~

[reptilenut4sure]

haha atm. "At the moment". But I do have a yellow an brown Amazon tree boa. I will get some pictures up in the next couple of days.

[The Snake Guru]

RFLOL! Doink.....well ya got me there man, never even crossed my mind about that abbreviation! Man I'm getting old.

Hell ya! Love to see them, I love ATBs.

~B~

[reptilenut4sure]

Trying to post all my animals so check them out on the general discussion

[The Snake Guru]

Sounds good man, I'll keep an eye out!
