I was saving this until I could get some decent pics (he was in blue when I got him) BUT I couldn't as I'm so chuffed.
Will post pics tonight as he's just shed but he's a stunner!!!

:) can't wait to feed him!!!
Poor little thing is still VERY nervous but I've been told he will literally eat anything.
False Water Cobras will even eat their own faeces! |

Rear fanged yes.
Aggressive.. I couldn't say yet. Although I've seen none. |

| I saw one in a pet shop a couple of years ago. I remember the "experienced keepers only" sign was up. I asked the guy about it and he told me it was mega aggressive. He might have just been referring to that particular snake though. |

| I love these. They have a bad reputation because of th venom and they are super strong but they are just beautiful and I'm sure if handled it will be just fine. |

He didnt feed last night unfortunately.
I've never seen a more nervous snake!
The trip from Doncaster must have been very stressful.
But he seems quite happy bathing whilst the rub is in the rack so I will try him again next week.
Of course at the moment its too early to start handling but I will once he is feeding regularly and has calmed down some. |

| They are rear fanged, with fairly potent venom. They dont have very big glands though so I dont think they can produce large quantities. Still not going to be pleasant being biten by one. They would probably have to do a bit of chewing to get the fangs in. |

The breeder was telling me its more like a bee sting - in that a bad reaction can be bad but otherwise not so.
Saying that he had a hatchling on him for 20 seconds and he had localised pain and swelling for 7 days.
Just dont get bitten is the motto. |

Ive seen a 9 year old male at 5.5 foot.
By all accounts its the females that get big, 8 foot I believe.
I THINK they are either the largest venemous colubrid OR largest colubrid. |
