    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My "Rare" Venomous Snakes

Growing up and getting prettier:

Here is some more footage and shots of the Aruba Island Rattler:

As always, beautiful photos and a really nice look at your reptile room. Well kept, well done.
 
A rare chance to piss these guys of but they do get angry very seldom. Here is my Water Cobra girl hooding at me:

Jackpot!:

So after shedding today, my girl dropped a huge load and one unfertilized ova:

She is still plump and this is a single egg, so I am hopimg she has some fertilized eggs inside her.
 
I visited a friend's house the other day and filmed his collection. From a King Cobra to a Black Mamba, he has a very cool list of venomous snakes.

Enjoy:

 
Here is my male Congo Water Cobra shedding his skin, they are about 80cm, which should be their max adult size but they are just 18 months old so I guess these will grow. The male is in breeding mode I think because he hasn't touched food since he went into the shed cycle about a month ago.



And here is my beautiful leucistic monocled cobra in his new enclosure. Finally he can fully hood without touching plastic and he is making the most of it:

Nice death adders. Let me know if you ever have babies

Should have some this year.

In the meantime,

The Samars are up from a month long pre-breeding brumation and they are hungry! They ate two small rats each and asked for more.

Here is a video:

 
Sad video this week... Unfortunately, my A.hawkei female gave birth to 15 additional unfertilized eggs plus a perfectly developed yet dead baby... Oh well...

Here is a video explaining the situation with an interesting ending:

 
Here is a long feeding video of the hawkei female. She is taking down rats to get back to her previous weight:



And here are a couple pictures of the Acanthophis laevis pair from Aseki, PNG:

Hi Guys,

So breeding attempt is fully on.

The male seems crazy interested but the female doesn't seem to care much. Yet, they might have already mated, we will see soon...

 
Man. How's the breeding going . Those are nice. What happened to the Death adders

I really don't know as I have not seen them locked. There were several occasions, where they were all tangled and stationary but tails were under the cage furniture so I don't know. Well, I will know within a month or two.

Death Adders are fine. A.hawkei dropped a bunch of slugs and a dead baby but I will try again this year with 3 speacies.
 
Here is the A.laevis pair. The male just shed and is in full breeding mode but the female needs to shed first.
