My little Mr sheen looking gorgeous. He locked with Olivia at the weekend for over 7 hours so hopefully I'll have some tiny green bitey worms later in the year 
Olivia wasn't co-operating so only got this one of her:

Amazing pics. How big a home do they need. I have a spare rub which was Colas old one. It's 2ft square. Would this be ok? Shame to see the rub go to waste.
Cheers! That RUB would be brilliant for an older housie. For a hatchie though you'd need much smaller as they are tiny! Go on, treat yourself
How to make it seem like my wife's idea?
What about temperaments? Feeding etc etc?
Haha, just show her pics of teeny weeny hatchies 
Temperament wise, mine are just as handleable as the corns although slightly faster. They can be a little nippy as hatchies, Ollivander used to bite me every time I handled him but he soon calmed down. The only time you need to be careful is at feeding time, they have the most insane feeding response!! My favourite snakes to feed 
This was taken on the day I got him, shiny green worm:
That's a great baby photo! Most of my baby photos of my olive housie, Zeus, are just blurs! He doesn't have such a good feeding response though, I still have to pop the mouse in with him in the evening and leave him in a dark room over night  I'm hoping he'll get the idea eventually.
Haha, fast little blighters aren't they! Ollivander was drop fed when I got him. He then randomly stopped feeding for 2 months after I'd have him a couple of months. Really had me worried as he was so tiny. One day he suddenly struck and hasn't missed a feed since (about 2 and a half years. For some reason he decided he wouldn't be drop fed anymore and will only strike feed!
Thankyou Boomslang |

Housies are so cute! If I was allowed another snake I would definitely get one of Olivander's and Olivia's babies! |

Sorry, forgot to add: Both parents are stunning, Mort13, I love Ollivander's colour, and Olivia looks like she's having a proper sulk in the last photo :-) |

Lol - show her the gorgeous parents first, then, later, lots of photos of eggies, then the cute hatchlings.... I'm the one to talk, I can't convince my hubby to allow me more snakes... then again, he is a man, and hard to convince just by the said snake's cuteness :-/ |
