My grandson would love these! Last year he had a 'snake' part, with visiting snakes. All his friends had a wonderful time....I kept well away. Shiver!

Ooer! they are not my favourite of creatures but you like them so I braved myself and had a good look. A phobia is only something to overcome and maybe one day!!

These 2 snakes, really like playing together, pic. 3 looks like they are
racing each other, i seem to think that kobus would be the winner if they
were!! I am not a lover of snakes, but could warm to these 2 they are
kind of cute.....

Tatia, I'd like you to put some photos up , please.
Spritzhenry and Grannysue, I am not really all that fond of snakes myself, but these two do grow on one. Anyway, I had no say - they were here before me.
Freesiaperson, as you can see, they are neck and neck, racing to the kitchen having just heard the rattle of pellets (which they get to supplement the mice from the Pet's Butcher).
Hywel, I do agree. :o)

I expect they are two very dangerous, poisonousness snakes. I wouldn't feel "at home" knowing they are around my house! Don't you keep some antidote at home - just in case? I would!

Yes, they aRE extremely poisonous - this is no bluff!
As soon as they left the egg, they have been trained not to bite the hand that feeds them.
Yes, we keep the serum in the fridge for emergencies.

That gave me a heart attack! :-) We have a house dragon that protects us. I'll have to put a photo up of her.
