Just watched it. Great programe an some quality footage of the afrock, she looked like she had been through the wars a bit.
Bet that was interesting to film with her protecting the eggs not a snake you want to get on the wrong end of especially being a wild adult

Haha this is true he could turn into an arse when bigger. Yes was good as ive still not seen an adult afrock in the flesh.
Biggest ive seen/worked with is my mates 8ft WC one thats extremley aggressive as it was WC as a yearling

Haven't seen it yet, got it set up to record. So will have to watch it a bit later. Sounds good though. The others in this series have been really good, with such great close-ups and interations. I like watching the bit at the end as well, where they tell you a bit about how they did it all.
Really enjoying it so far : )

Just me and my zoo.

What made him get a WC Afrock? That sounds like a recipe for trouble!! Obviously if he's well experienced and knew what he was getting in for then good on him. I admired your bravery buying a CB Afrock, but getting a WC yearling almost seems like stupidity lol.

Definatley worth the watch bluedragon an the end bit us really good on this one.

He runs a reptile rescue center jonnyc an the afrock came to him after someone tried to smuggle it through customs.
He likes feisty snakes same as me an loves the afrock, if he ever sold it i would have it straight away

In that case I commend him!! Would love to have the provisions and knowledge to set something like that up. Must be very rewarding.

Watched it yesterday. Was quite touching in a way, how she cared for the eggs and her babies. Didn't know they were so dedicated.

She was very pretty, but those babies were just lovely. All shiny and new : )
