| Very nice. I like the southern african melanoleuca, its upper body is especially light.

| Nice collection. Is this your basis setup of "cages" ? Or just for quarantine? |

| Sorry Jon for not responding but yes most of my cages are in a rack system that works for me check out a good friend of mines setup at riobravoreptiles.com my cages allow maximum number of animals to be kept in a minimum amount of space, and cleaning is a simple task glad you like my specimens thank you guys |

| Thank you Bjorn and you know the funny thing is I have had them for over three months and both the male and female have yet to hood but if indeed one or both decide to model for me I will post pics for sure |

| Not as large as their northern cousins I believe, but big enough. I have kept many that are over 1.8m, some bigger. They are incredibly strong snakes too. |
