wow, i love my babies!!! i got gunter out first, he started off quite quick, moving and exploring up and down my arm. After about a min he was very calm, lovely beautiful snake. A little confused i was told he was 5 months old, when i measured him (very roughly as i didnt want to stress him/her). I got about 22.5 inch long. I thought he would be older than 5 months at that lengh but again im not sure!!

Next was cornelius, a baby i was told even he measured approx 15 inch. He was very calm to, they both tryed to come back out when i put them away!!
only 5 mins each snake
Cornelius is also a stunning snake

If anyone can confirm approx age??

Taken a few pics i shall put them on here asap

I am so pleased with the new new members of the family. Feed time soon!!!

Twilight is exactly six months old and was 20 inches at his last shed. I expect he'll be almost exactly the same length as Gunter next time I measure him. Hope this helps.

I am so glad your first handling session went well with both Cornelius and Gunter. It is a bit scary when you do it for the first time, but also a great feeling. Just think...you have years of this ahead of you - how good is that !
