Yes the claws are VERY sharp, good at damaging anything, including skin very easy. in that picture they are large, strong and kinda blunt as they get worn down well in my enclosures, some claws are over 4cm long but rarely get that size as the tips get worn down while they climb the wood and mesh, Luckly as I don't fancy cutting them LOL

I KNEW that i knew it!! I know the guy that sets up all the enclosures at Noah's ark and looks after the reptiles on a regular basis to ensure husbandry etc is right.

He owns the reptile shop i got all my snakes from
