| Very nice! The set up looks great. Even though we have them all over here they are still among my favorite. When we get call outs for the we sometimes find some nasty ones that will spread a hood almost like a cobra. LOL |

| That animal's got issues. Every time I pay a visit, it starts to puff so loud, it seem to explode any second.
Got 2.1 arietans, so even in Finland it seems that they're all over the place hahaha
From my childhood these have been my favorite.
The striking speed and the unpredictability stays unbelievable no matter what other specie of snake you observe....
The set up does justice to the nice snake! |

| From my point of view, this arietans is not from tanzania. thats why the colours arenīt shiny enough. especially for a male. |

| Ain't shure what you mean with shiny colors, if not refering to the more yellow colorizing thats often found on the ones from Namibia, still this CB has always been told to been originated locally from Tanzania, don't know, maybe you know better/are right. Still i'm wondering what else than this shining was the one that caused you're presuming? ... that started to bother me now (maybe rather irritate), so would be nice if some one could verify he's locality by country, and if another one than Tanzania then why do you believe so. Anyone? Updated picture  |

| Yes they are fast when they strike, these are the ones not to underrate, ever, but great snakes overall anyway. |
