and the borneos...

Grant vg · 11-12-02, 09:17 PM

These guys just got out of shed.
1.1 borneos. Bothe with very different styles of patterning.
Hopefully they will produce some interesting babies.
The one on the right is a beautiful male i got from Ken Tailor and Darren Hamill picked up the female on the left for me a while back.

All Photos were taken By Darren Hamill!
Why? Because hes the BEST! :P
Thanks Darren, hope u dont get sick of me harrassing you to come over and snap pics for me...lol

geez all ur short tails are so cool, how many do u have?

Grant vg · 11-12-02, 09:59 PM

Thanks for the compliments!

I currently own 3.1 adult bloods (one male is being loaned out), as well as my 2 borneos.

I should be getting a nice sized group of Black short-tails this week too i hope.
Dont know how many, it all depends on how many hours i work this week...lol

Grant,

Your borneos look amazing .. by curiosity .. the background, is that a cage? What kind is it if it is.. just wondering cause if it is .. i was fool by the lack of substrate ..

neway man .. nice collection man!

Grant vg · 11-13-02, 09:43 AM

Jeff_Favelle · 11-14-02, 11:33 AM

For sure about the fridge!! A hovobator will kill your Blood eggs!!!

Tim_Cranwill · 11-14-02, 11:47 AM

How handleable are those borneos Grant, been thinking a lot lately about moving up from balls and boas.....something a little thicker.

Gorelith, long time no see man.
Hope everythings going well!

The borneos are very handleable, assuming ur not a wussy (which i know your not)
These snakes will freak you out if your not confident. just ask Darren how i used to be.
When they strike, its very startling, you wouldn't expect such a girthy snake to move so fast.
I have noticed that my borneos are a little more agressive then my bloods, but that may be because they're definate LTC's and i am unaware if the bloods are CB's.
As soon as they're confortable in there new enclosure, believe me they can be tamed.
Only after a few handlings with my male borneo, who was very unpredictable, did he become dog tame.
You shouldn't have any problems as long as your cages requiremnets are met.
And ofcourse you know that adult imports are just plain nasty!
So stay away from those.
Borneos require a high level of safety to be completely confortable.
Good luck with your new aquisitions if you decide to get some!
