New mulga snakes

percey39 · 08-02-10, 11:36 PM

This is one of my new mulga / king brown snakes. This guys a st george locale and his name is moose. Very flighty and a lot bigger than i was originally thinking, but is a very striking red. The colour didnt come out like i was hoping but they do show some reddish tinges, the flash washed out the brightness. Also its hard to get a good shot of this guy as he is very quick and wants to see how i taste lol. As you can see in the second pic he really didnt like having his photo taken.
The other one that I purchased is a alice springs locale, but he is currently in shed and i want to wait before i post pics as his colours will look a lot better once he is done.

Here are some pics of moose to tie you over for now.

These pics are of the alice springs mulga but were taken a while ago by the previous owner. I will also throw pics up of the parents too. These pics have been posted in another thread but seem they would be better placed in this one.
The last pic is of the parents. I will be sure to post some new pics once he has shed.

very nice mate, loving the red on him

Cheers mate, i will try and get some better pics once he has settled in. He is not hook trained lol and loves trying to fly up the handle at your fingers. Has a lot of aggression for such a young/small guy.

Im sure he will strip in the next two days laura so i will post pics straight away. Moose ate two rat fuzzies last night for me, which im extremely happy about.
Cheers chuck and freebody he looks so much better in real life, I will hve to try and capture a good photo of him for you.

Laura i told him to hurry up and so he did. Here is some photo's of lumi the alice springs locale mulga. I was very surprised to walk in and see him removing some layers just moments ago

. In the first few moments after shedding he decided to put on a show and bite the table in my snake room. In the second photo it gives you an idea of how big he is as im tailing him while taking that photo. It was hard trying to get good photo's that were completely in focus, but i did take a few so here goes.

Hahahahaha love the table munching picture! Don't tell Moose but I kinda think Lumi is prettiest

percey39 · 08-04-10, 01:31 AM

Yeah seems i have a snake that likes to chew wood lol Aww moose is sad now!!

.: Laura :. · 08-04-10, 01:36 AM

Oh please :P everyone always goes for the red so Moose will be fine. I think Lumi was claiming said piece of wood for his own and marking his territory so you don't mess it up

Haha he must of been. Red goes faster doesnt it

Don't you ever get a little bit nervous when having newbie hots out?

percey39 · 08-04-10, 01:52 AM
