Those eyes are just killer. And that little irredescence on the skin is amazing too.
Nice Southern!
Got any full body pics?

Nice scrub Paul.
The picture says "tame"?!?!
Ours don't bite our faces any more - which I consider to be fairly tame.

Hey Folks!
Thanks for your comments. I had Simon Fung come over a few weeks ago and take more shots of my critters...
Here's a 'full body shot' for Yasser (anything for a Scrub-breeding Icon like him)!! I'm glad you labelled him a 'Southern'. Despite his flawlessness and beautiful temperment, I calculated that he was wild-caught when I got him (he was about 5' then) since few c.b. Scrubs make it to The Great White North! I called him a Merauke since I saw similar-looking serpents purportedly from that locality. Perhaps you could provide further insight on this/these localities...

For Ryan: This guy is super-tame - even when extricating him from his enclosure! In fact, he's the I'll-just hand-him-over-to-the-kids-at-the-show kind of tame!! Actually, I mislabelled his size - he's now about 7'...
Here's another shot - 'specially for Big_V and Heather! ...

I know exactly what you mean!
As soon as I crack the lid to my Moluccan's enclosure I'm greeted by a snake that's ready to bite anything that moves. Once he's out he's a little less defensive, but very quick moving. And his feeding response is unbelievable.

If you ever decide to part with it, please contact me. I might not hand it to kids, but it would be nice to have one I could hold in an audience setting - without the worry of losing an eye in front of a crowd.
