Posted - 19/07/2013 : 16:00:09 Haven't posted any photos of my CRB's for ages, so here are some of Orinoco:


 At last weigh in was a good 174g, but that was at the beginning of the month. Orinoco is now eating the largest rat chubs/fluffs I can source and will probably move onto small rat weaners very soon. Really pleased how these two (sorry no photos os Tobago today )are coming along  |

Nice one! :-0 Are they ok? Lovely rainbows on the CRBs, bet that's difficult to photograph.
Yes, every one ok and they now have new sink and windows I get better photos if I use natural day light, but due to them being a nocturnal snake I prefer to get them out on an evening. You do get a good rainbow effect with a flash, but it does tend to 'wash' the true colours of the snake

I do understand that the prospect of all those vaccinations may be a little daunting-but believe me once you're through immigration/border control YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE
1. That little dog may look cute, but she has 'little dog syndrome' and is ferocious, so will give your guys dogs a run for their money  2. One of my cats thinks it's a dog, one is special needs and stands no nonsense from my dog who runs a mile from him and the other one thinks he is useful by catching mice and rats for me  3.Great news on the horse and pony front, plus the added bonus of beaches to ride on at close proximity  4.Sounds as if my fish tank would get a good makeover, well over due, so another bonus.
I hope my vaccinations from visiting the island as a child are still valid - border control might be harder  Think I will start packing my stuff and motor on down  |

(I include myself in that comment) There is never a dull moment in my family - my sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew managed to make the local newspaper last week by blowing up their kitchen, resulting in a hospital visit, firebrigade and hazadous materials officer attending the house, all because of accidentally mixing the wrong swimming pool chemicals together.  |

They should only get to around 5 foot, but thicker in the girth than corn snakes, also he will lose the patterning as he gets older and turn a rich brown colour quote: Originally posted by smart bunny
About time too!! :P
Wow, he is looking stunning Blackcat, I do wish Prism would eat properly, he is soooo much bigger than her :( Lovely rainbowing in evidence :D
Thanks smart bunny, Orinoco is the smaller of the two  I will try and get some of Tobago after he has finished digesting. I also must do a Ruby and Indigo update, Ruby is getting quite big now and more than a handful - just waiting for her to shed  |
