Hi all,
Some pictures of Naja kaouthia Albino in her jungle setup :-D
The snake is around 190 cm and 8 years old. She is still growing and strangly she sheds her skin every month and a half a thing I have never witnessed before with any other adult Monocle cobra but than I'm normally never keep Morphs as I do not like them accept for her :smt017 :-D
THe enclosure she is kept in is 140 x 65 x 65 cm (L x W X H) and I tried to give her a sort of natural habititat with lots of life plants en other natural products like treebark which I use as backwall sphagnum. and different levels under which she can hide or take a heatup on top of it.
The coolest is that keeping them on way like this the snakes get more calm and friendly and show a great natural behaviour, every little change in the enclosure triggers her to tongue flick and scroll around for hours. :-D
Here some picture of her and here palace.
THe next pictures are shot by a friend who is a freelance photographer Rob Smit
cheers

The juxtaposition of the terms "albino" and "natural".
Don't get me wrong, it's a superb tank and an impressive snake, but I have a hard time thinking of albinos as being natural (even though the genes obviously do exist in the wild population).
The first analogy that crossed my mind and caused the coffee eruption was visualising painting a picture entitled "Wolves hunting moose in the tundra", but with the wolves being of the domesticated variety we call Pekinese...
Sorry, it's the way my mind worked this morning....
