Olive update

Nigel is still growing like a weed. He's a tad over 1300g now and never bites or misses a meal. He was 141g when I got him 11 months ago. I love this guy!

Re: Olive update

Very clean looking reptile EL! We can tell he's getting the royal treatment (no pun intended). Haha.

They still look amazing to me, too bad no mini version of them.

Re: Olive update

@ Blaze- He'll be about the same size as your SD retic. I figure he'll top out in the 8-10 ft. range but I'm prepared for a 12 ft snake. It's amazing how much of his food intake goes to growth. There's very little waste with this guy. He was snapping at the glass quiet a bit when I had him on smalls. I've started giving him mediums recently but he doesn't eat as often.

@ Mink- Time flies right?! He arrived on 1/4/17. I got my albino carpet a week later on 1/11/17. She's only gained 106g in the same 11 months. She's getting better though and I love her.

Re: Olive update

My SD will be around 6ft Ziggy lol He is a 68.75%SD, Chucks 75% is 6ft and his 62.75% is 7ft so he should fall in the middle.

And don't tempt me with a maybe 8-10ft snake lol not that they even have those up here.

It's an olive python.

Beautiful snake. They are not very common in the hobby, congratulations for getting one. Can't wait to see him when he gets big.

Re: Olive update

Not the best pics of Nigel. I just liked how he blends in with the background.

Re: Olive update

Anybody else keeping Olives these days? We need more of these in the hobby. They're amazing large snakes.
