Here are some pix of my guy, He ate 36 hours ago, 4 big fatties and just shed his skin so he has really nice colour at the moment. When I first got hiw out he had been sleeping on the floor so he was really warm and really active. http://www.shoalhaven.net.au/~nubtwo/mm ... nake01.jpg http://www.shoalhaven.net.au/~nubtwo/mm ... nake02.jpg http://www.shoalhaven.net.au/~nubtwo/mm ... nake03.jpg http://www.shoalhaven.net.au/~nubtwo/mm ... nake04.jpg |

even your wife n daughter arent skirmish with them will he grow any bigger? |

| Post subject: | Yes |
Yes, they never stop growing, just slow down. He is only 20 months old so he will probably get twice as long and alot thicker, he is still only a baby. Problem when they get bigger is finding enough food for them. I have some great shots of full grown diamonds on a disk here, I will post them later. He is really good with the kids, they are always trying to pat it's head like a dog, which they really hat but he just pulls his head away. When you look at his face he's like a docile diog. the expression does not change at all until he is on the hunt for a mouse then he gets this great look in his eyes that is all business. I dont get him out as much as I would like, but now that I have started a new normal 9 - 5 job it may give me a bit more time. |

Ive got a carpet Python as a pet too. Born about January 2003 and is shedding his skin tonight for the first time since the start of winter. Hasnt eaten for 4 months but that isnt unusual. He is 40 inches long and if i feed him well he could get to 13 feet long when fully grown. Don't know if i will be able to lift him then ? Problem is breeding those dam mice. ( they breed like rabbits or should that be mice ? ) Eventualy ill have to breed rats for him and when they are not enough ill collect all the bloody cats in the area that fight all night long. That will shut them up. |

| Post subject: | Snakes |
Hey Ronniemac maybe we could get a herp club going instead of minis or better still Snakes and minis togther. Mice - bloody hell dont talk to me about mice. Started with one male two females, set up a good system and in not time had heaps of mice, in act couldnt stop them breeding but they stunk. A mate of mine was interested in breeding mice t sho his kuds so I gave them all to him. He could never get them to breed (how I dont know it's as easty as putting one male in with all the females and prest) No lie - one day I went around to his house cause I was short on frozen mice and I thought I would take a couple of his but when I opene dthe box they were all dead!!! How can someone fail with mice - he has kids - God help em. Did you hibernate your snake this year? I didnt he eats weeks and shed regularly. |

| Post subject: | Cabra |
Wish Digi cameras were around back then I would have heaps of cool pics to show you of the old Cabramatta. Cabramatta station used have only a wooden bridge accross if and the other side of cabramatta where the stardus was, was just the dead side. WHen I lived there the cumberland highway where it runs from Cabramatta road (where you go though the intersection at the golf course) that was a block of land and down closer to Canley Hieghts was a dirt road. I went t Fairvake highschool but that was YEARS ago. THere are so many untruths about Cabramatta. I have not been there for about 19 - 20 years so I can imagine it would blow my mind today. I actually gre up in Cabrammata west / Canley Hieghts. You know ST Johns Road where it runs out of cabra? well as you get towards st John park there is a street on the right called Avoca Road, turn right there and the first on the right is Welwyn Road, I gre up in the house on the corner #2. Now back then it was Dirt shoulders on the road and a creek at the end of the street. Man I'm getting old LOL. |

Just went back down to the shed and his skin is off. Measured him and he has grown a bit over winter even though he did bugger all and ate nothing for 4 months. He is now 53 inches long or 1350 mm. Up here in central Queensland we dont get a very cold winter ( min of about 8 deg for a week or 2 ) so i dont warm his tank. I let him have a good long sleep as he would in the wild. My fella wont touch dead mice. Some times you can feed him by hand but watch your fingers but most of the time i will put a mouse in his tank at night and he hunts it down in the dark and when i get up in the morning, no more mouse. |

ozmotorsport that's a really nice looking diamond! Good to hear you'll be able to take it out more often. I usually take mine out at night, and let it explore round my room.. But I've seen a horrible pic of a snake fried in the PSU of a computer.. obviously climbed in there for the heat... So I've got to watch him constantly.. wait I shouldn't call it a him, I'm not actually sure of the sex yet.. If only you could train snakes... Like Alex's snake in A Clockwork Orange, that was cool! |

| Post subject: | Sex |
Dont worry I call my smake "him" and my mate calls his "her" but neither of us know what sex they really are. Mine is getting to the size and age now where he will just slither around the room until he finds somewhere good to hang out, usually high. But when he was younger I had to keep and eye on him because they can dissapear so easily. He got out twice, first time he was gine for a week adn I found him behind some boxes in the garage after I had given up. Second time he came back by himself probably attracted to the heat of his own box. I'm lucky mine eats dead food, not many do. When I feed him live mice I throw four or five in the box at once and sit back and enjoy the show. Mice are so dumb, but I have haerd rats are smart and cunning. |
