LOL! Not possible, we're too proud of these babies and when the second clutch hatches I will be inundating the forum with pics again

Our adult male which is a LTC is about 9' (hard to accurately measure, they don't sit still long enough to photograph on the floor!) and pretty thick. He's nippy in the cage, but fine once he's out...unless you are trying to tub him. If he climbs out of the tub and he's grabbed to be put back in he'll bite, but just handling him is no problem. The adult female is about 8' and more slender. She was captive bred at Moscow Zoo and has the same temperament. Average size is 8-9', the all time record is 14'. They are BIG, impressive and interesting colubrids which are pleasure to work with.

All the babies aren't too nippy as long as you handle them like any other arboreal: underhand and slow deliberate movements. They have excellent eyesight and are VERY aware of their surroundings. They will zero in on any movement, even objects moving by them as you walk, LOL.

Simon: When will yours be ready to breed? Let me know and I'll send you my info. I haven't put it up on our site yet since I want a couple years of hard data to back it all up better. But I can give you what I have if you want it. Just PM or e-mail me.
