Im looking forward to seeing how it continues to develop!

cheers, Tom

Absolutely beautiful!!! Very nice. Great looking Kaouthia and I personnelly enjoy seeing animals with more of a natural color than some of the color morphs. I'm actually selling ALL of my Kaouthia to concentrate on the Aspidelaps family and get back to why I have such a passion for Elapids. Thank you for sharing your animal.

Very cool Tom. I have been toying with the idea of experimenting along those lines. As long as species are not crossed, I am all for color and pattern morphs. If it can happen in the wild, it is ok to do it in captivity. Though some species of snakes can and do cross-breed in the wild, I am not a fan of doing it in captivity.

Good job Tom

HI!

My female kaouthia from 2008 looks same but the "binocle"-Pattern.
Stunning liddle co!bra!!!

Are more babies from this clutch look like this?

He is incredible. You are a lucky man. Did you produce him?

What is the locale mate?

Stunning little Naja.

Thanks everyone, i had two that looked like this hatch out from my suphan x het. suphan pairing earlier this year. I was only expecting to get suphans and het. suphans out of the clutch and ended up with 3 amel. suphans and 2 of these aswell.

cheers, Tom

What a piece of eye-candy. Must've been a nice surprise to get two like this hatch out.
Really beautiful color and pattern.

Oh, and Tom....Thats a bloody great animal! He looks like he's doubled in size!

HAHAHA thanks James. LOL. I love owning and breeding Elapids and the Aspidelaps is what I'm more interrested in working with. Monocleds are a dime a dozen here in the states, just pick a color or pattern, but Aspidelaps aren't that readily available here.

James....James....James, dude you have to think, I do have some people to prove wrong....YES!! Make it happen dude!!!!

I agree with not underestimating any front fanged venomous snake. Especially a genus that killed people in the past BUT;

since our mods are being very careful about this kind of thing, I do not understand how they allow people writing their observations about an untreated mamba bite. I mean if a kid sees that topic and assumes the same dumb-A** luck will happen to him/her, then the mods of this forum should share the blame.

I can see quite a difference between that casual report, where it has been clearly pointed out by several posters that it might be risky and stupid to stand a Dendroaspis bite without getting immediately proper medical control and foolish jokes about treating snakebites with beer.

It wasn't foolish, nor was I refering to treating it with beer, infact I was refering to "drinking" venom as a joke, as some idiots do it!

I understood it that way, and others too.
Maybe you should learn to express you more clearly - even i would prefer to see you stop playing a court jester here - at least in difficult and serious matters like venoms and envenomations.
