Those eyes are just killer. And that little irredescence on the skin is amazing too.

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.
